Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza channeled her inner 'Modern Maria Clara' look on the cover page of Cosmopolitan Philippines' latest issue.
The fashion magazine unveiled Barbie as its cover girl for December on Saturday.
"Barbie Forteza Is Independent, Passionate, And Fearless," Cosmopolitan PH captioned on a social media post.
In a snippet interview with the fashion magazine, the 25-year-old actress who plays "Klay" in GMA Network's hit historical television series "Maria Clara at Ibara" shared her experiences in playing the role.
"Yung proseso ko ng paggawa kay Klay, hindi ganon kahirap. Kasi as a person, ang laki na din talaga nimature ko. Siguro gawa na din ng pandemic. Ang dami ko na-realize. So inincorporate ko yun kay Klay. Kasi lumaki sya ng walang tatay eh. So natuto sya at a young age na tumayo sa sarili niyang mga paa. Yung lalim, natural na lumabas sakin kasi ang daling kapitan nung script," she said.
Forteza sported a transparent Barong with a green Bikini bra in one of her several stunning looks.
