Barbie Forteza possible to fall for Joshua Dionisio

EVEN IF SHE’S now earning on her own, Barbie Forteza wants to continue with her studies and get a college degree. “Sabi nga nila, walang kasiguraduhan sa showbiz, di ba?” she says. “Maaaring ngayon, marami kang trabaho but you can never tell what the future brings, so I want to have a fall back. Kaya kahit nahihirapan ako, heto tuloy ang home studies ko. I’m now in grade 7. Next year, high school na ko.”

What course would she like to take up? “I’m thinking of putting up my own restaurant someday, so siguro, hotel and restaurant management o kaya, culinary arts. I really admire Marvin Agustin kasi napagsasabay niya ang acting and owning several restaurants.”

In her new afternoon soap, “Ikaw Lang ang Mamahalin”, she plays a role originally played by Angelika de la Cruz ten years ago. “Medyo pinabata yung characters namin kasi nga Tweens pa lang kami in the new cast. Best friends kami rito ni Joyce Ching as kids pero natabunan kami ng landslide. I lose my memory and gets adapted by Matet de Leon. Si Joyce naman, napunta sa squatter area and gets adopted by a family of crooks led by Kier Legaspi. Nang lumaki na kami, my father, Gardo Versoza, saw Joyce wearing a necklace she got from me and thinks she is his daughter. Nagpanggap naman si Joyce na siya ako para yumaman siya. Magaganda ang twists sa story kaya I’m susubaybayan ito ng viewers.”

Does she see herself falling for partner Joshua Dionisio in the future? "It's possible. Why not? Kaya lang, not now. I'm only 14. My parents said di pa puede."
