David Licauco is all praises for his on-screen partner Barbie Forteza, who’s made remarkable strides in her fitness journey.
In an interview on “24 Oras Weekend” by Nelson Canlas, David, known as the “Pambansang Ginoo,” expressed his admiration for Barbie’s commitment to health and fitness. “She went from not working out at all to running 16 kilometers,” he said. “And she told me earlier that she doesn’t even find it hard anymore. She’s clearly putting in the work.”
“She’s very athletic now and I’m really proud of her,” he added.
Barbie, for her part, revealed she often invites David to join her runs, but the actor has been tied up with his busy schedule. “I get shy to ask him because he’s always busy. I just end up seeing his updates on social media,” she shared.
The duo, affectionately dubbed “BarDa” by fans, rose to fame in the hit series Maria Clara at Ibarra. They also hinted at an upcoming project, possibly a movie this year.
Barbie began running in February and celebrated her first fun run just two months later.
