David Licauco was asked about his real score with Barbie Forteza
Kapuso actor David Licauco, the Pambansang Ginoo, said that he cares a lot about his loveteam partner, actress Barbie Forteza.
David and Barbie’s loveteam is known as BarDa. It started with FiLay, based on their characters, Fidel and Klay, in the defunct Kapuso series Maria Clara at Ibarra. Fans did not expect their strong onscreen chemistry.
Because of that, they officially became a loveteam and did several projects under their home network.
When their loveteam started, David Licauco and Barbie Forteza were in their respective relationships. The actor had a non-showbiz girlfriend, and reports surfaced that a couple of months ago, they broke up.
Barbie, on the other hand, had a 7-year relationship with actor Jak Roberto. However, she confirmed in January that they had broken up. BarDa fans respected their relationships with their respective partners, but the “kilig” from their supporters hyped up knowing that they are now both single.
In a previous interview, Barbie said that she is enjoying her single status right now, and continues to discover things about herself.
In a recent interview with GMA entertainment news reporter Nelson Canlas, David Licauco was asked about the real score between him and Barbie Forteza.
“Yung nakikita namin sa social media, fan service ba ito o may kasama nang feelings?” Nelson asked David. The actor replied, “Which one?” and the reporter said that it was about their closeness.
David said that he and Barbie are indeed close. Then, the actor said that Barbie just got out of a relationship, and it should be respected. He also said that the actress needs to heal.
The entertainment reporter reiterated his question about whether feelings are already involved. “I care for her a lot,” David said while smiling. When asked to qualify his answer, the actor just repeated, “I just care about her a lot.” Then, he laughed.
David Licauco was also prompted to discuss the level of comfort that he and Barbie Forteza have now. He said that it was a known fact before that Barbie was taken, and he was aware of how he should act because of that fact.
