Kapuso star Jak Roberto found himself in a lighthearted moment during a recent festival performance in Laguna, as the crowd playfully teased him about his ex-girlfriend, Barbie Forteza.
Jak was on stage singing the Orange and Lemons hit ‘Hanggang Kailan’ when the unexpected moment occurred. As he reached the chorus, he held out the microphone for the audience to sing along.
Instead of the usual lyrics, “Umuwi ka na baby,” the crowd chanted, “Umuwi ka na Barbie,” referencing his former long-time partner.
Caught off guard but amused, Jak responded with a laugh, asking, “Ano?” as the audience continued to cheer.
