After her hiatus, Bela Padilla is ready to return to the limelight.
Actress Bela Padilla is getting ready to go back to work full time after taking a hiatus that took her across the world. It can be recalled that the actress-TV host first moved to the England back in 2021.
On Instagram, Bela posted a lengthy video of her time in London as she temporarily bids farewell to the life she had there.
“A few seconds of my life in London since 2021. I am temporarily closing this chapter as I prepare to work full-time again. [heart emoji] And yes, I should have taken more pictures. I should have kissed and hugged my loved ones as much as I needed,” Bela wrote.
She added that while London was the city that made her question everything she knew in life and be vigilant, “it will also always be the city that allowed me to smell flowers in spring and summer.”
“And boy did I stop and smell the flowers constantly. They were the highlights of my day. On days when I forgot what I sounded like because I wasn't talking to anybody, I had the flowers to remind me that God wanted me happy by giving me the most beautiful flowers just around my neighborhood,” Bela said.

Bela credited London for making her instincts sharper and keeping her healthy as she battled her auto-immune disorder. She added that everything she learned both in and out of the classroom there is now completely embedded in her.
The actress also noted how her first house in the city holds a special place in her heart because it is where she “had to figure out grief alone” after learning of her dad's passing.
“The sadness ate me whole so I took a train to Scotland where, shockingly, the sun made me feel like I was in the Philippines for a few days. I will still have my house in London and maybe one day, I will call it home again,” Bela wrote.
Bela ended her post describing London, “London is polite but shouts when you're wrong. Beautiful but rough around the edges. Kind but has a darkness that could scare the tough...my friend, London.”
