The Kapuso actor and businessman is still in awe of the immense support he and Barbie is getting from the fans of the show. “'Yung love ng fans na ibinibigay sa amin ni Barbie [Forteza} and to the whole show is overwhelming, so I think this is extra special for me.”

David also noted in the interview that he can very much relate to his character in Maria Clara at Ibarra.

“Torpe, mahiyain. So, sa simula talaga medyo ganun, 'yung tipong hindi ko alam kung papaano ia-approach 'yung babae, 'Should I do this? Should I do that?'” he said.

He added, “'Tapos, kapag nagustuhan ko na 'yung babae, I really make sure to give my 100 percent. Talagang binibigyan ko ng mga regalo. Umabot sa point na pumunta pa ako ng ibang bansa para sundan 'yung babae.”
