Carla Abellana is one of the many captivated by Barbie Forteza’s outstanding acting on “Pulang Araw!”

On Instagram Stories, Carla shared her view as she tuned in on the Kapuso series’ Thursday episode.

The TV screen shows Barbie playing Adelina in an emotional scene as Teresita (Sanya Lopez) was arranged to be married to Hiroshi (David Licauco).

“Pulang Araw” traces the intertwined lives of four childhood friends: Adelina, Teresita, Hiroshi, and Eduardo (Alden Richards). As war ravages their homeland, their dreams, friendships, and loyalties are tested, leading them on a journey of self-discovery and resilience.

The show made a strong debut on Netflix last month and was a trending topic on X.
