How much does Diego Loyzaga love Barbie Imperial?
He “ultra loves her.”
This, in a way, dispels the rumor that they almost parted ways.
“As far as I’m concerned, hanggang dulo ang pagmamahal na nararamdaman namin sa isa’t isa ni Barbie,” Diego said.
“Dulo” happens to be the title of their movie together. It is a Vivamax production from director Fifth Solomon.
“It is a romance-drama kaya may mga intimate scenes ang dalawa,” said the director,
“They were both able to perform accordingly. Mapi-feel mo how they really feel about each other.”
In real life, we all know that Diego is not close to his dad, actor Cesar Montano.
His mother is actress Teresa Loyzaga, 56, who remains active in showbiz.

Barbie is a typical Bicolana — malambing but selosa.
To many, even with her status now in showbiz, she remains the girl who lived with her mom and younger sibling near the train tracks in Albay.
Barbie’s dad is an Imperial, a well-known and rich family in Bicol. She knows who he is and he is aware of her, but he has yet to recognize her.
