Barbie Forteza on kiss with David Licauco on 'Pulang Araw': 'Nataranta si self ng very light'

Barbie Forteza and David Licauco made BarDa stans feel the kilig on Friday’s episode of “Pulang Araw,” but this behind-the-scenes tidbit makes the scene a whole lot sweeter.

The latest episode of the historical series showed Hiroshi (David) visiting Adelina (Barbie) at her home and professing his love for her in Nihongo. To further express his feelings, Hiroshi kisses Adelina. However, a furious Teresita (Sanya Lopez) catches them.

On X, Barbie shared an anecdote about taping the scene.

“Actually habang iniintay namin ni David ng 'magkakiss' bago lumabas si Sanya sa eksena, di ko sure kung dapat ba pumikit ako o dumilat kase si David, nakadilat at nakatingin lang saken. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Barbie wrote.

The Kapuso Primetime Princess added, “Nataranta si self ng very light hahahaha!!!”

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

The show airs on GMA Prime on weekdays at 8 p.m. and on Netflix.
