Barbie Forteza on running, cutting her hair short, and being in her self-care era
Barbie Forteza and Boy Abunda talked about various many things on Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" — from professional matters like her new television project "Beauty Empire" and the upcoming film "P77" to the personal and even trivial concerns like cutting her hair short, throwing herself fully into running, and even being her self-care era. "I feel like I'm having the time of my life," Barbie tells Tito Boy. On Running: According to Barbie, running is "something I have full control of." "Sa trabaho natin, nakalatag na lahat. Pero something very personal that you have control of, that's what I get out of running. it's an escape from reality. Ang focus ko lang ay yung pace, distance, time. Limot ang trabaho, limot ang showbiz," she continued. Barbie got into running this year, and completely threw herself into the activity. She has been joining fun runs that not only help her achieve personal records but in cases of charity fun runs, also allow Barbie to help others. "Nakakatawa kasi lately active din ako sa charity fun runs. So yung new found hobby na mahal na mahal ko, nagagamit ko pa for a better cause," Barbie tells Tito Boy. On Cutting Her Hair: While Barbie cut her hair for professional reasons — she wanted to make sure her character Noreen on "Beauty Empire" won't carry a shadow of herself — the Kapuso celebrity reaped personal benefits from the move. "I stepped out of my comfort zone. This is me discovering myself, starting a new era and that starts with my hair," Barbie said. "I noticed Even the way I carried myself changed, when I started wearing short hair. Mas may confidence, mas may sophistication. I've always been conformable wearing long hair, having long hair. Ngayon, parang meron lang certain consciousness na I have to stand tall, I have to dress better, kasi I stepped out of my comfort zone," she adds. On Self-Love: Barbiep proudly shared that has finished paying off her new house. "Fully paid na siya," she smiles at Tito Boy. "Kaya when I'm saying I'm enjoying my time, it's more like, meron akong malaking responsibilidad na nagampanan ko na para sa 'kin at sa pamilya ko so ngayon, ako naman." "When I say I'm in my self-love era, it's more of really enjoying my time and prioritizing myself at kung ano talaga ang gusto ko gain na nagagawa ko na ngayon." What can we say? We're happy for you, Barbie! — LA, GMA Integrated News

'Bayani and the ABCs of Me' is a children's book that has a main character in the autism spectrum
A children's storybook hopes to represent people in the autism spectrum at an early age. 'Bayani and the ABCs of Me' follows the story of Bayani, a Filipino child in the autism spectrum learning the alphabet and his Filipino heritage. It is written by Filipino-American authors Redner Salonga and Irene Batario while Arli Pagaduan was in charge of the illustration. 'What we wanted to do is break down autism in a way that can relate to children [so] people can understand autism in a simple way,' Salonga told GMA News Online in an interview. "The book goes through a journey of Bayani and sharing his culture of being Filipino," he added. For Salonga, the book was is not only their way of connecting with the Filipino community but of adding more resources for people in the autism spectrum. ''Bayani' is a way to connect with those families and to share about the autism community and about individuals in the spectrum. When we did research, there were very few resources for autistic families. 'Bayani' is actually one of the first Filipino children's books [with a character in the spectrum that's] related to the ABCs and written by Filipino Americans,' he said. The book goes beyond representation as the proceeds of its sales goes to programs and partnerships supporting causes for people with disabilities (PWD) community such as the Big Step Special Education Center in Nueva Ecija. For Pagaduan it is important that kids see themselves in a story and as they learn how they act with the stories that they read and learn. 'All children should be able to see themselves in the books published in the Philippines. It should not just be about this or that, but the themes or characters should be people that we see in our everyday lives,' the illustrator said. 'It is also important for people to understand how they see the world, or how they experience the world, so that when they meet an autistic child, these people know how to talk with them, or understand more about how they see the world, or how they react to certain things,' she added. 'Bayani and the ABCs of Me' is priced at P350 and is available in Shopee, Pinagpala Publishing, and other independent retailers such as Latte Library, Literary Lounge Cafe, among others. — LA, GMA Integrated News
