After witnessing the GMA Gala 2024 last night, the internet was alive with Best Dressed lists and spotlights on celebrity OOTDs that night. But there’s one other thing that happened that’s generating even more buzz online.

Barbie Forteza Rushed to Help Herlene Budol After Falling Onstage

As Herlene Budol was walking the GMA Gala stage wearing a Birth of Venus-inspired gown by Leo Almodal, she suddenly tripped and fell, causing onlookers to rush to her aid.

One video in particular has been making its rounds on the internet, starring a very concerned Barbie Forteza. In the video, Barbie is seen smiling and blowing a kiss before her expression completely changes to one of surprise as Herlene takes a tumble.

As she sees Herlene trip, she runs as quickly as she can in her heavily-beaded Mak Tumang ballgown to be by her side.

Netizens Praise Barbie Forteza for Helping Herlene Budol at the GMA Gala 2024

Of course, her good deed didn’t go unnoticed by the internet. Many praised the actress for acting so quickly, calling her kind-hearted and genuine. One netizen said, “Kindness is everything and it makes you even more beautiful. Tama pala sabi ng mga tao, Barbie is one of the kindest souls in showbiz.” Another reacted by calling her, “The real life Barbie with a heart.” Another netizen commented on how she acted swiftly even though she was weighed down by her gown, “‘Di lang siya nagulat, she really came running to help kahit ang bigat-bigat ng gown niya. What a beautiful and reliable person.”

The internet didn’t hold back, heaping on even more praise for the actress. One netizen said the act was, “Another reason why Barbie Forteza deserves her success and more.” One netizen even called her a princess saying, “Grabe this is the real prinsesa with a heart move.” Another reaction even referenced how Ivana Alawi said she has a really good heart, stating: “Kaya naman daming may gusto kay Barbie eh. Walang prejudices sa iba, just like how Ivana described her kindness sa vlog niya.”

All the praise was definitely well-deserved. We love a kind queen!
