Barbie Forteza, Kyline Alcantara, co-stars give glimpse into ‘Beauty Empire' characters
According to Aubrey Carampel's report in '24 Oras' Friday, the upcoming series will follow Barbie and Kyline's characters, Noreen and Shari, who are competitors in the beauty industry.
'Ang istorya ho namin ay punong-puno ng puso at pagmamahal sa pamilya with fashion. And beauty at its core, we will tackle murder mystery, love for family, revenge,' Barbie said.
'I approach it with a combination of my personal life and the character's experiences. 'Yung heartbreak or 'yung mga experience sa buhay eh makakadagdag din naman sa pag-atake sa isang character,' Kyline said.
Joining the cast are Ruffa Gutierrez as Velma, Shari's mentor, and Sam Concepcion as Migoy, Noreen's childhood friend.
'Velma is, you know, she's a very ambitious and powerful woman, and yet, behind that, she's very soft. Nagmahal, nagkaroon siya ng heartbreak. And I think me, as Ruffa, marami na rin akong heartbreak na pinagdaanan sa buhay ko,' Ruffa said.
'It's been a really great experience being here, working with the team, and working with such generous and really talented actors,' Sam said.
The series will also star Chai Fonacier as Kriselda, Velma's trusted assistant, and Aaron Maniego as Silvester, Shari's assistant.
'She's somebody that I wish I had her focus and her grit. Makalat ito eh,' Chai said.
'I'm just so grateful for my co-actors na sobrang gina-guide nila ako every step of the way and napakabait nila sa akin,' Aaron said.
"Beauty Empire" is produced by GMA Public Affairs, based on the original concept by CreaZion Studios. It dives deep into the intense rivalries and high-stakes drama among powerful women as they navigate the beauty industry driven by ambition, revenge, and power.
The cast also includes Gloria Diaz, Sid Lucero, and South Korean actor Choi Bo Min.

Zambales artist creates masterpieces using bleach stains
A self-taught artist from San Narciso, Zambales, has gained attention for his unconventional and unique art form: bleach art. According to Kuya Kim's report on '24 Oras' Friday, Ronald Cabrillos discovered his art style after a laundry mishap in 2022. 'Tinry ko po siya na ituloy na lang 'yung mantsa niya. Nag-invent ako at sinimulan kong gawan ng design. 'Yung first design ko is 'yung sa anime na 'Naruto,'' Ronald said. He applies the bleach with a paintbrush, sometimes mixing it with water to achieve varying levels of opacity. Ronald uploaded his artworks online and captured the attention of netizens. 'Hindi ko po in-expect na nag-viral 'yung video at umabot siya ng siguro around 20 million views na po siya ngayon. Simula po nung nag-viral 'yung video, may mga nagpapagawa na po ng mga commissions sa akin,' Ronald said. 'Malaking tulong po siya financially. Doon po ako kumukuha ng pang-gastos namin sa pangaraw-araw,' he said. Among his recent artworks is one that featured Kuya Kim, which took Ronald a day to complete. Per Kuya Kim, the scientific principle behind bleach art lies in bleach being an oxidizing agent. When bleach is applied to fabric, it oxidizes the chemical bonds of the dye molecules. This process damages the chromophores, which are the specific parts of the dye responsible for imparting color to the fabric. Consequently, the fabric's color changes or disappears, creating the desired artistic effect. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
