She won 2 golds & 3 silver during the 1987 Southeast Asian Games held in Jakarta. Bea failed to make the team to the 1988 Seoul Olympics because of her age. Instead she joined the Philippine Delegation to Seoul to cover the gymnastics event. In 1992, she won a bronze medal in the featherweight division in taekwondo in the Olympic games in Barcelona with teammate Stephen Fernandez who also won a bronze medal.

She also advertised for Ivory Soap as well as Nestle Philippines. She currently endorses Phiten, a Japanese lifestyle brand that promotes health, style, and comfort.
