In a touching display of friendship, Barbie Forteza was brought to tears by a heartfelt gift from Rain Matienzo, her co-star and friend. The surprise, a collection of merchandise from Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour,” was personally curated by Matienzo during her visit to the concert in Melbourne, Australia. Forteza shared her emotional moment on Instagram, showcasing the thoughtful presents including a shirt, friendship bracelets, and a special letter.
The letter from Matienzo conveyed a warm message, expressing her wish for Forteza to experience the “Eras Tour” firsthand and mentioning a blue bracelet exchanged at the concert, personalized with Forteza’s name. Overwhelmed by the gesture, Forteza couldn’t hold back her tears, sharing her gratitude with a heartfelt “Thank you soooo much” in her post.
The bond between the two stars, both part of the Sparkle GMA Artist Center, has been evident through their collaborative work in projects such as “Maging Sino Ka Man” alongside David Licauco, and the historical fantasy series “Maria Clara at Ibarra,” where Matienzo played Salome, Elias’s lover.
Forteza, affectionately known as the Kapuso Primetime Princess, is gearing up for her role as a bodabil performer in the upcoming drama “Pulang Araw.” This gift from Matienzo not only highlights the deep friendship between the two but also showcases the supportive nature of their relationship, both on and off the screen.
