Forteza clearly answered the issue about the rivalry with Bernardo, “Ito totoo ‘to ha. Hindi naman po kami magkaaway ni Kathryn kasi hindi naman po kami nagkikita. So there’s no chance na magkaaway kami (It is not true that Kathryn and I had that kind of issues because we are not seeing each other. There’s no way that we will be involved in such hateful instances.)”
Forteza also states that she did not know where the issue came from.
According to her, Kathryn’s fans or her bashers are the ones who made the stories (“‘Yung isyung ‘yan eh sa inyo lang po ‘yon [nanggaling], ‘yung bashers ko na fans ni Kathryn”).

The question is, How Forteza can handle these kinds of issues?
She directly answered, “Actually dinededma ko lang. Pero okay kami ni Kathryn. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung natatandaan niya pa ako (Actually, I just took it for granted because me and Kathryn are good and I don’t know if Kathryn still remembers me).”
