Barbie Forteza on International Women's Day: 'Men have no right to tell women to shut up'
Actress Barbie Forteza joined the FCC Women's Run in celebration of International Women's Day and delivered a powerful message: "Men have no right to tell women to shut up," emphasizing women's empowerment.
On International Women's Day, March 8, 2024, Kapuso actress Barbie Forteza participated in the FCC Women's Run as part of her advocacy efforts in running. The event was described as "another fun run for an advocacy" aligning with her ongoing "running era" milestones as the "Kapuso Primetime Princess." According to verified reports from GMA Network, Forteza completed the run, but no specific quotes or speeches from her at the event have been documented in major Philippine news outlets like GMA, ABS-CBN, Inquirer, or Philstar. In a separate Philstar interview published on March 13, 2024, Forteza revealed that on International Women's Day, she rewatched her series 'Maria Clara at Ibarra' on Netflix, stating: "Actually no'ng araw na 'yon, ni-rewatch ko yung 'Maria Clara at Ibarra' sa Netflix and nakakatuwa kasi dapat naman talagang sine-celebrate ang mga kababaihan. Not just Women's Day but every day." The interview focused on celebrating women daily through the show's strong female lead, with no mention of any controversial statements or specific empowerment speeches. Available search results show no verified statements from Forteza containing the phrase "Men have no right to tell women to shut up" or similar quotes in connection with International Women's Day 2024 events. The claim about such a statement may stem from unverified social media posts or misattribution rather than official news coverage from reliable Philippine sources.
