Kapuso Primetime Princess and Sparkle artist Barbie Forteza is all about fresh starts this year--from her new role in the GMA Public Affairs revenge drama series “Beauty Empire” to a lifestyle that's all about balance and purpose.

Produced by GMA Public Affairs, based on the original concept by CreaZion Studios, and Viu's Original Series, “Beauty Empire” is a fresh take on a Filipino story that inspires everyone to redefine their own beauty standards.

Off-screen, Barbie's been embracing self-care and self-growth. She has found joy in simple things like cafe hopping and her new hobby--running. She first shared her “runner era” in February with a post of an early morning jog with friends and fellow Sparkle artists Alden Richards and Kristoffer Martin. Since then, running has become part of her regular routine.

Barbie's not just running for fitness; she's running with purpose. In April, she joined her first official fun run for children with cancer, completed a 10K for Save the Children Philippines, and took part in events supporting violence prevention against women.

From taking on stronger roles to making time for wellness, Barbie Forteza is embracing a slower, more intentional pace while still chasing dreams and breaking new ground.
