Barbie Forteza and Joshua Dionisio – The teens who started the TEEN DOMINATION here in the Philippines. In a time when everything was about Marian Rivera, Anne Curtis, Dingdong Dantes and John Lloyd Cruz, GMA unearthed a gem when the local adaptation of Stairway to Heaven needed young a Jodi and Cholo. Unlikely as it seemed.
Nameless teens Barbie Forteza and Joshua Dionisio became a part of the soap and the rest is history. Then started the teen craze making them the most popular Tweens (term used by GMA for pre-teens) stars in the country that time. They topbilled Tween Hearts and Tween Academy the movie. Their loveteam ended a few years after.
