An only child, Kaki’s real name is Karl and he took up entrepreneurship at Central Philippine University, Iloilo. He started as a model in Iloilo when he was 17 then took the Regal audition for new talents and was accepted. He is introduced in “This Time I’ll Be Sweeter” as the best friend of Ken Chan.
Fiona Yang is 20 years old and the youngest of two sisters. She stands 5’5” and is taking up communication arts at De La Salle University. In “This Time I’ll Be Sweeter”, she plays the sister of Barbie Forteza. She is also in the cast of Regal’s coming horror flick, “Haunted Forest”, playing the role of Kristine. We ask Kaki and Fiona about their experience working with Ken, Barbie and Director Joel Lamangan.
“Parehong very friendly sina Ken at Barbie kahit first time lang namin silang nakatrabaho,” says Kaki. “Mababait sila at walang ere kahit big stars na sila sa GMA.”
“As for Direk Joel, we learned a lot from him,” says Fiona. “Noong una, natatakot kami kasi sobrang istrikto raw siya at naninigaw sa shooting, but we didn’t experience that at all. He’s like a father to us who really guided us well.”
And what can Direk Joel say about the new Regal Babies? “Very charming ang presence nila on screen,” he says. “At higit sa lahat, maganda ang attitude nila sa trabaho, so kung pagbubutihin nila talaga, malayo ang mararating nila sa showbiz.”
