Perphaps sleepless from a late of night of shoot and just got gridlocked by a terrible traffic jam from Makati to ABS in QC for her 18th birthday presscon, the celebrity debutante, Julia Barretto remained graceful as a swan and red as a rose in her radiant long dress upon emerging before a patiently-waiting spectators last 4th of March.
She was in her usual best form and open mindset as she confidently counter firing questions with mature & intelligent replies.
When the Tour becomes a Party
A big fan of adventures, her original celebration plan is to travel around Europe that would also serve as her respite (a much-needed one). Nevertheless, a ‘fairy-tale like’ party idea crept at her and eventually, ended up liking it. Inspite of her true-blue busyness with countless projects that challenged her availability, she managed to work on-hand with the prep and literally sweat much to save for the grand day. Her Michael Cinco’s signature gown-alone (a prominent designer for royals) costs the girl a staggering 1M, rumors say. The whopping over-all expenses of her white-gray & silver-themed party at Makati Shangrila Hotel, she opted not to disclose in publi, for modesty’s sake sans the pressures and triggers of the pro-juicy news writers.
The girl’s 18 roses…
Her equally controversial Dad, comedian Dennis Padilla were heard to be in cloud to reunited with her long-missed girl for the first dance while his reel or is it real partner Ynigo Pascual will be her last. Other lucky boys (to whom she really hope to get there) are Matteo Guidicelli, Rayver Cruz, Enchong Dee, Khalil Ramos, Robi Domingo, Sam Concepcion, Dominic Roque, Leon Barretto, Mark Barretto, John Barretto, Cholo Barretto, Jason Soong, Mark Soong, Miguel Barretto, Sweet John Lapus, Enrique Gil.
Candle-lights from her GF’s
There will be a lots of pretty faces sightings from the barretto’s and her close pals from the biz’ namely Dani Barretto, Claudia Barretto, Patita Tumpalan, Alora Sasam, Natalia Ortega, Nicole Barretto, Cris Navarro, Marissa Kalaw, Pokwang, RB Chanco, Lala Flores, Denise Heredia, Coy Barretto, Ella Pangilinan, Liz Uy, Maja Salvador. As a proof of her strong ties and friendship allegance amidst professional rivalry, Janella Salvador & Liza Soberano will be a special part of her entourage.
What she look forward to? She was uncertain yet, but she knew she wanted to continue and do better to what she started. Do you wish your parents will be one again? Her audience were big eyed when she honestly admit, “it’s not a part of my birthday wish”. “They are already happy and settled with their personal lives”… let it be that way”.
Joy and Peace with everyone
On possible reconciliation of her erring clan, the girl of the hour quoted without batting an eyelash
“I want to believe that this is the purpose of my birthday”,
“They were all invited and I hope they will all be there”. she added. A heartfelt statement and humble effort to which, she earned warm applauses. You will be charmed by the pureness of her intention and her ability at such a raw age to keep grounded through her family’s turbulent, intertwined lives. She can’t help tearjerk, and smile in her sweetest, when her “second-mom”, Aunt Claudine said in the taped vid, “She’s not just Julia, She’s my Julia”.
Julia Barretto’s 18th birthday special will be aired on March 29th in ABSCBN’s Sunday Special, right after Gandang Gabi Vice.
