Barbie Forteza garners praise for professionalism, punctuality: 'Artista na nauuna sa staff'
At Tuesday's media conference for the horror movie, director Derick Cabrido expressed his admiration, noting that the Kapuso Primetime Princess consistently arrives on set even before the crew.
'Ito 'yung artista na nauuna kaysa sa staff. Maraming time na nakaka-receive ako ng tawag, tumatawag sa 'kin, nagda-drive pa lang ako. Imagine mo, call time namin, mga 6:30, 7:00. Tumatawag na sa akin 'yung PM namin o kaya 'yung mga staff. Sabi 'Nandito na si Barbie,'' he said.
He would ask why she was there so early, and the crew would inform him that Barbie went directly to the 'P77' shoot from another project, which was 'Pulang Araw.'
'Direk, hindi pa naka-set up ang tent,' the crew would tell him.
Direk Derick shared, 'May time na parang parang nando'n na siya nang 5:30, pero 7:00 dapat siya dumating, 7:30. For me, alam ko na talagang sobrang ano siya doon sa work niya.'
GMA Public Affairs Senior Vice President Nessa Valdellon further echoed these sentiments, explaining why Barbie is such a favorite to work with.
'She's such a pro,' she said.
She shared that at 2:15 p.m., she came in to check the setup for the press conference, and she was surprised to see that Barbie was already at the venue when the event was scheduled to start at 3 p.m.
'Nauna pa siya sa akin. So, ganoon siya lagi. She is always early. She is just so prepared. She is so professional. So, why wouldn't we want to work with her?' she said.
The network executive added that Barbie is always willing to do anything.
'As in, no weirdness, no freak-outs. She doesn't disappear in the middle of a shooting day. So, we love Barbie. And she acts so well, ever since bata pa na siya.'
Also present at the press event was GMA Network Senior Vice President Annette Gozon-Valdes, who commented on the significance of 'P77.'
'Matagal nang hindi gumagawa ang GMA Pictures ng horror na movie, na nasa horror genre, at ito 'yung comeback namin sa horror kaya pinaghandaan talaga 'to at gusto naming magbigay ng kakaibang type of horror na tamang-tama naman sa mga panahon ngayon,' she said.
'P77' also stars JC Alcantara, Euwenn Mikaell, Gina Pareño, Carlos Siguion-Reyna, and Jackie Lou Blanco.
The film is coming to cinemas on July 30. —JCB, GMA Integrated News

David Licauco to make appearance in ‘Beauty Empire'
David Licauco is set to make a special appearance in 'Beauty Empire,' which stars Barbie Forteza. According to Nelson Canlas' report in '24 Oras,' Wednesday, David's guesting is a gift for the 'abangers' of the BarDa shippers. 'Plot twist ba ito?' Barbie said. 'Actually, matagal na siya dapat pumasok pero 'yun, finally. OK din na ngayon siya pumasok dahil, like, bumibigat na rin 'yung mga eksena namin, so perfect timing din talaga.' David said that it had been seven months since he last acted, so this made him excited. 'Also, obviously, I'm working with Barbie again,' he said. Barbie and David became a love team when they starred together as Fidel and Klay in "Maria Clara at Ibarra." They later starred in several more projects, including "Maging Sino Ka Man," "Pulang Araw," and the film "That Kind of Love." 'Beauty Empire' also stars Kyline Alcantara, Ruffa Gutierrez, Gloria Diaz, South Korean actor Choi Bo Min, and more. It airs Mondays to Thursdays at 9:35 p.m. on GMA Network.
