Barbie Forteza On The Real Score Between Her & Derrick Monasterio & Dennis Trillo

BARBIE FORTEZA has grown taller and we complimented her for it at the presscon of “The Half Sisters”. “Naku, tito, dahil lang sa high heels ko yan,” she says in a funny self-deprecating manner. “Ang bust size ko nga, ganun pa rin, 32.”

But she’s really growing to be one fine young lady. Next month, she’s turning 17 on July 31. She doesn’t want to have a party at all. Instead, her wish is for her parents to allow her to buy and driver her own car. “That is, kung papayagan ako ng parents ko.”

Her last soap was “Anna Karenina” and she did a short role in “Genesis”. “Matagal din akong bakante but okay lang, worth it naman ang bago kong soap ngayon, ‘The Half Sisters’ that starts on Monday replacing ‘Villa Quintana’. As usual, api-apihan na naman ako dito. Half sisters kami ni Thea Tolentino, pero we have different dads. Ako si Jomari Yllana, siya naman si Ryan Eigenmann. Nabilanggo si Jomari for raping our mom, Jean Garcia. Magtutulong sina Thea at Ryan para gulpihin ako. Sinabunutan ako dito, tinulak-tulak, sinampal. Pero alalay sila kaya never ako talagang nasaktan sa gulpihan scenes. Nang lumabas ang dad ko sa jail, marami siyang negosyo at mayaman siya, so si Thea, magpapanggap na siya ang tunay na anak ng daddy ko para makuha ang kayamanan nito. Marami na kong nagawang api-apihan roles pero iba naman ang atake ko rito. You watch it para makita nyo ang difference.”

She’s paired with Derrick Monasterio and Andre Paras. “Silang dalawa, parehong ako ang magugustuhan kaya lalong magagalit si Thea sa’kin. I’ve worked with Derrick before in several soaps kaya sanay na ako sa kanya. Si Andre, ngayon ko pa lang nakasama. Sobrang tangkad niya at 6’4”, nagmumukha akong pandak sa tabi niya. Pero okay siya, madaling makasundo.”

There’s talk that she and Derrick are now going steady. “Ay, hindi po. We’re okay, sweet siya as a friend, pero barkada lang talaga kami. Wag nyo ng lagyan ng ibang meaning ang friendship namin. Open naman ako ever since kung sino ang crush ko, si Dennis Trillo. Sana nga, pag 18 na ako, ipareha naman ako ng GMA sa kanya.”
