Barbie Forteza and David Licauco reunite on-screen in That Kind of Love. It is their first movie together since their unexpected pairing in GMA’s Maria Clara at Ibarra.

Directed by Catherine O. Camarillo and written by Ellis Catrina, the film is an ideal showcase for BarDa, whose fans eagerly root for their on-screen pairing to continue flourishing and to produce more projects.
