Barbie Forteza thinks she's just like her 'Mano Po Legacy' character Steffy Dy IRL

Barbie Forteza is kicking off 2022 with an exciting new role in the new Kapuso series "Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune."

During her morning chikahan on "Unang Hirit," Barbie shared that she has a lot in common with her character, Steffy Dy.

"Siguro, ang pinagkaiba lang namin ni Steffy ay meron siyang Chinese blood," Barbie said.

"Pero 'yung pagiging hardworking, pagiging-career oriented, pagiging sensitive sa mga bagay nangyayari sa paligid niya, I guess I'd like to think ganoon ako," she added.

"And pagiging mapagmahal na anak [at] masunuring anak, I'd like to think ganun rin ako."

"Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune," which premiered January 3, revolves around the unexpected death of a business tycoon and leader of a prominent Chinese-Filipino clan.

It also stars Boots Anson Roa, Maricel Laxa, Sunshine Cruz, Barbie Forteza, and David Licauco, among others. —JAB, GMA News.
