BARBIE FORTEZA is thrilled to play her first superhero role in the month-long special feature, “Captain Barbie”, in the hit fantasy-kiddie show, “Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko”.
“Kinilig ako when they informed me about it, kasi as a child, I like watching superhero shows,” she says.
“And now i’m playing one and kapangalan ko pa as Captain Barbie. Ang cute pa ng costume ko. Super pink kaya very wholesome siya. I am really so happy na nagawa ko ito."
The show is very challenging for her since it requires her to do a lot of action scenes.
“Yes, may action scenes. Kung dati, sa drama, mahahabang linya ang mine-memorize ko.
"Dito, yung blocking at choreography ng fight routines ang minememorya ka. Wala nga akong masyadong lines dito, puro action.”
How did she get her superpowers?
“Hindi ko puedeng i-reveal kung ano ang sekreto sa tunay na katauhan ni Captain Barbie kasi magiging big spoiler yun. Basta she gets her powers from a pink batuta. O, ang cute, di ba
Her accessories also give her powers.
”Feel na feel ko talaga ang costume ko,kasi very empowering. Yung hikaw ko, yung cape ko, pati yung ipit ko sa buhok, lahat sila may special powers.
"At basta may nangyayaring masama, asahan nyong nandun si Captain Barbie para tumulong”
Recently, it was reported that she got annoyed when her boyfriend, Jak Roberto, had kissing scenes with Lauren Young in his own show, “Stories from the Heart”. How jealous did she get?
“Naku, inaasar ko lang talaga si Jak. Gustong-gusto ko kasi nakikita yung reaction niya sa vlog namin, but napanood ko na ang lahat ng scenes nila and they’re just being very professional. Naiintindihan ko naman ang trabaho niya since ‘Contessa’ days pa na may kissing scenes na rin siya roon.”
Barbie is supported by two leading men in “Captain Barbie”, Jeric Gonzales and Anjo Damiles who both play cops.
Jeric as Bruce is cowardly and Anjo as Andrew is his best friend who always tries to encourage him to be more brave.
They’re all happy to be part of “Captain Barbie”. “Kasi pambata siya at tiyak na makaka-relate ang kid viewers,” says Barbie.
How does she feel that we’re under ECQ once again?
“Nakakalungkot kasi akala ko, tuloy-tuloy na ang pag-move forward natin dahil nagte-tapings na uli. But it turns out na balik pala tayo sa dati.
"Ang feeling ko, kailangan talagang mabakunahan na tayong lahat para magtuloy-tuloy na tayo to move forward, pati ang various industries.
"But mental health-wise, kinakaya pa rin naman. Basta laban lang. Let’s just pray lahat na matapos na ito.”
Don’t miss “Captain Barbie” in “Daig Kayo ng Lola” this Sunday, right after “24 Oras”.
