Barbie Imperial is single after admitting her breakup with former boyfriend Diego Loyzaga. The Kapamilya actress shared her thoughts on why she would never agree to being the other woman or condone anyone who agrees to be a third party in a relationship.

”Basta for me if may ibang tao ka na nasasaktan and alam mo talaga na nasasaktan sila tapos ginagawa mo pa rin, for me, mali talaga yun. I think depende sa sitwasyon, to be honest. Kasi maraming other women na hindi nila alam na other women so kawawa sila di ba? Pero kung alam nila na other woman sila at pinapasok pa rin nila yung gulo na yun, alam na nila na may legal na girlfriend or wife hindi talaga. Ayoko. Naniniwala kasi ako sa karma eh. Na kung ano yung pinaparamdam mo sa isang tao, ipaparamdam yan sa ‘yo balang araw,” she said.

In the latest Kapamilya series "The Goodbye Girl," Barbie Imperial plays the role of a woman named Kiera who had no idea the guy she was dating already had a girlfriend. The outspoken actress said that even though she plays the anti-hero, her latest role still has redeeming qualities about her.

“In defense naman kay Kiera, gulatan din kasi yun eh. Nandun ka na akala mo may something na kayo tapos bigla kang gugulatin na may legal pala na asawa. Parang yung emotion mo nun gulong gulo. May confrontation naman yung mom and Kiera na gusto naman niya talaga na makipaghiwalay pero hindi niya lang kaya. Wala talagang kamahal mahal sa mga taong manloloko but sa character ko naman dahil siya ng yung other girl and niloko niya pa rin yung wife ni Turs (Daza) sa series, ang konting konting kamahal mahal sa character ni Kiera is that bumawi naman siya sa huli. I’m not saying na tama yung ginagawa ng mga taong nanloloko or ng mga other girls. Mali talaga yun. Pero yung ibang tao kasi talaga, pag mahal nila yung tao bulag ka talaga eh di ba? So mali pero also imagine the pain na pinagdadaanan ng tao na yun.” she explained.

Having started from bit roles to starring in various projects, Barbie said she always learns more about her craft with each new work.

“That’s very true kasi siyempre nagsimula ako sa maliit lang na role before and then I went to Showtime GirlTrends and then after Showtime small role ulit. Puro small roles lang pero madami akong natututunan,” she added.

Celebrity beauty expert Ysa Singson faced the entertainment media for the launch of her beauty product line under Yssentials. In our interview recently, Ysa revealed that she is planning to get actress and businesswoman Neri Miranda (Chito Mirandas wife) to be her first product ambassador.

“We can always aim to get the most popular celebrity to endorse our products but I will go with Neri Miranda for she inspired me to be strong and determined to make our goals happen. Like me, she started with a small business with big plans and this is my current goal,” Ysa said.

Beauty queens and other artists are also in her mind, but in the meantime, Ysa said she wants to help housewives and business-minded Pinoys to earn extra income during the pandemic.
