barbie forteza fathers day


Barbie Forteza pays tribute to her amazing dad Antonio Forteza.

Anak ni Waray vs Anak ni Biday star Barbie Forteza appreciates her dad for trusting her especially when making decisions.

The actress also said that her father, Antonio Forteza, is “a man of few words” but all of his convictions are precise.

“Sa lahat ng bagay, kahit sa personal o kahit sa text…Kasi 'yung tatay ko, a man of few words pero on point. Kunwari, mayroon akong itatanong sa kanya kahit minor or major matter, lagi lang niyang sinasabi, 'Okay, go',” she said.

Barbie then noted an example on how her dad let her with the decision-making with regard to her personal life.

“Tapos minsan parang feeling ko big deal. Kunwari, magta-travel ako mag-isa or kasama ko si Jak, magpapaalam ako sa kanya, sasabihin lang niya, 'Okay, go.'

“Ako, pinlano ko na 'yung mga sasabihin ko 'pag may sinagot sila, planado ko na sa isip ko kung paano ko ie-explain. 'Tapos hindi ko na kailangan mag-explain kasi okay lang siya nang okay,” Barbie shared.

The Kapuso Primetime Princess said that this is all because her father believes that she will never choose to harm herself in any way.

“Never akong nahirapang magpaalam sa tatay ko kasi ganoon kalaki 'yung tiwala niya sa 'kin na hindi ko naman ilalagay sa harm 'yung sarili ko.

“Nakakapanatag 'yon bilang anak na gano'n kalaki 'yung tiwala ng tatay mo sa 'yo. Especially tatay, 'di ba? Kasi usually, sila talaga 'yung istrikto, lalo na pagdating sa boys,” she added.
