As the world celebrates the Christmas season, Wish Ko Lang proudly presents four heart-warming stories headlined by this generation’s highly esteemed actors.         

On Dec. 4, Forteza took on the role of a woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) in “Tatlong Katauhan ni Sunshine.” Joining her in the episode were Thea Tolentino, Arvic Tan, Regine Angeles, Carlos Agassi, and Chanel Latorre.

With a very challenging role for her first-ever Wish Ko Lang episode, Forteza shared how she was able to pull off portraying three different personalities.         

“Thankfully, we had a chance to meet virtually with a psychiatrist so we were able to discuss the proper execution of the characters [personalities] and the case of Sunshine,” she said.         “

In terms of characterization, I went straight to YouTube for research. I watched real people with DID. How they transition to another persona and their behavior. I also turned to some of my favorite powerful movie characters as pegs,” added the 36th Fantasporto International Film Festival Best Actress.         

Forteza, who recently renewed her contract with GMA Artist Center, is elated to be part of Wish Ko Lang’s Christmas lineup. “

This is my first Wish Ko Lang guesting so that alone is pretty special for me. Opening the December Specials of Wish Ko Lang really brings me joy and I just can’t wait for everyone to watch all the episodes,” she shared.         

Other stories to watch out for in “Pasko ng Pag-asa: The Wish Ko Lang Christmas Specials” are “Lihim ng Punerarya” airing on Dec. 11 starring Kim Domingo, “The Affair” on Dec. 18 headlined by Jean Garcia, and “Gayuma” on Dec. 25 bannered by Max Collins.

Wish Ko Lang airs every Saturday, at 4:00 p.m. on GMA.
