Barbie Forteza vlogs about work-from-home experience as Chika Minute guest anchor

By Marah Ruiz

Kapuso actress Barbie Forteza recently served as one of the guest anchors for the Chika Minute segment of GMA Network's flagship news broadcast 24 Oras.

She has actually stepped in a couple of times for original segment host Iya Villania-Arellano over the years but this time, instead of going to the studio, she has to report from her very own home.



Barbie shared her work-from-home experience in a new vlog which she posted on her YouTube channel.

Barbie enlisted the help of the boyfriend and fellow Kapuso star Jak Roberto to set up the box of equipment which 24 Oras actually sent for her to use.

Jak has previously shared that he also has a work-from-home set up and has experience in setting up lights and cameras.

"For sure, na disinfect na lahat to. Pero para sure, pina-disinfect na rin namin ulit," Jak says as he rummages through the contents of the box.

He then goes on to complete setting up several cameras ang lights for Barbie.

Barbie and Jak then go on an online meeting with the staff of 24 Oras for final instructions.

After the meeting, Barbie changes her clothes and does her makeup.

"In fairness, ang bilis kong nakapag makeup. Tama rin 'yung diskarte ko na dito ko sa setup magme-makeup. Para nga naman tama 'yung makeup ko kasi minsan iba 'yung rehistro ng makeup sa camera ng phone, iba dito sa camera dito, iba sa makeup table ko sa taas. Mas okay na sigurado tayo," she says.

Watch how the rest of Barbie's work-from-home experience goes in this video:



Aside from Barbie, Carla Abellana, Jasmine Curtis-Smith ang Bianca Umali have also served as guest Chika Minute anchors when Iya took a few days off to give birth to her third child, Alana Lauren.
