Barbie Forteza, Eugene Domingo join forces in upcoming original ‘Kontrabida Academy’
MANILA, Philippines — Barbie Forteza tests her comedic timing anew with her anticipated screen pairing with theater actress and comedian Eugene Domingo in the upcoming “Kontrabida Academy.”
Netflix released stills from the original project, giving a glimpse of Barbie and Eugene’s characters.
These include images of Eugene in faux animal print and feather exaggeratingly crying while holding a female whose face was smeared with a white fluffy substance, a red-lipped Barbie looking up at a deglamorized Carmina Villaroel, and a pensive Barbie with pursed lips while squatting, presumably cleaning a tray of food bowls.
“Bida or kontrabida, you decide. Your first (eyes emoji) at Eugene Domingo and Barbie Forteza’s Kontrabida Academy, coming soon only on Netflix,” the streaming platform wrote on its social media posts.
Barbie shared the same post, and said that she was happy that her upcoming collaboration with Eugene has finally been revealed.
"Waaaahhh finally! It’s out!!! I am sooo excited for this!!! Kontrabida Academy with Ms. Eugene Domingo,” Barbie wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The upcoming Netflix title is written and directed by Chris Martinez.
