Birthday message:

“Nang pumasok siya sa showbiz, lalo siyang bumait at laging nakikinig sa payo ng mommy niya.

“Ang wish ko lang is sana 'wag siyang magbago ng ugali niya para mas marami pa siyang makasundong tao sa trabahong ito.”

Relationship to Barbie: The Boyfriend

Birthday Message:

“Perfect siya!

“Lagi ko namang sinasabi sa kanya na lagi niyang ingatan 'yung health niya. Siyempre 'yung health niya pa rin kahit na nagda-diet siya. Sana nakakasama ko na rin siya magworkout kasi madaya kasi 'yan puro pagpapayat lang. Fitness goal naman next time parang couple fitness goal. At saka ngayun nagwo-water na siya, dati kasi hindi. So susunod couple workout naman!”

“Hi 'nak happy happy birthday and God bless you always. Sana hindi ka magbago 'nak, dito lang ako palagi para pagandahin ka at alagaan ka. Sana matupad na lahat ng wish mo! I love you, 'nak”

Birthday Message:

“Si Barbie kasi she's super fun, super real, super down-to-earth. No fuss, kung baga what you see is what you get at 'di ka niya pa-plastikin. She's a very smart girl at kung makausap mo siya may depth 'yung mga sinasabi niya. Which is nice.”

Relationship to Barbie: One of her love interests in Inday Will Always Love You

Birthday Message:

“Barbie is a really fun person to be around. Lalo na pag kilalang-kilala mo na siya, there's no dull moment with her. She's really jolly, really smart at ang tatalino ng mga jokes niya. So everytime na you're with her you can relate all the time.

“Happy birthday, Barbie! More blessings and I wish you happiness and success in your endeavors.”

Gladys Reyes

Relationship to Barbie: The kontrabida in Inday Will Always Love You

Birthday Message:

“Nagkatrabaho kami ni Barbie Forteza sa Inday Will Always Love You. Si Barbie physically mukhang bata kaya nung una ko siyang nakita, 'di ako makapaniwala na lagpas 20 na pala siya. In terms naman sa ugali niya, well, nag click naman kami kaagad. Ang gusto ko naman sa kanya is kapag kailangan maghulugan kami sa hagdan o magtulakan kami, game na game siya! So in short, hindi pikon at professional.

“Happy 22nd birthday, Barbie. Well, ang layo pa kasi madami pang mangyayari siyempre dahil isa siya sa mahuhusay na batang artista na nakatrabaho ko. Kaya alam kong malayo pa ang mararating ni Barbie at marami pa siyang gagawing proyekto na magsta-standout talaga siya. Best of luck and sana magkatrabaho ulit kami.”

Manilyn Reynes

Relationship to Barbie: TV Mom in Meant To Be and Inday Will Always Love You

Birthday Message:

“Siya yung anak ko na mahabang mahaba ang buhok. Gorgeous! Alam mo yan.

“I'm really really happy dahil sila ni Jak at open naman sila. E, yun ang manok ni Mamay sa Meant To Be - si Andoy.

“But im really, really happy kasi ang ganda ng nangyari sa career niya, sa love life, at alam kong 'di siya nagkukulang sa pagpapasalamat sa mga biyayang natatanggap niya. She's a very good daughter, love na love niya ang kaniyang parents at saka family, and that's very important.

“I love you anak ko, stay pretty and gorgeous like Mamay!”
