Kapamilya actress Julia Montes showed off her signature feistiness—and wit—during a recent guest appearance on a vlog by content creators Euleen Castro and Kevin Montillano, as she playfully warned women to stay away from her longtime partner, actor-director Coco Martin.
The fun banter unfolded as the trio talked about ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’, Martin’s hit ABS-CBN teleserye, where Castro jokingly said she couldn’t get cast by Direk Coco because she’s “too hard to hide behind a post.” This led to her cheekily asking Montes what it feels like to be the “love of Tanggol’s life,” referring to Coco’s character.
Caught off guard, Julia laughed before issuing a lighthearted but fiery message:
“Sa mga girls, alam niyo na…” she said with a mischievous grin.
“Ipapaalala ko lang na nag-Clara ako, nag-Sara ako. Ano pa bang mga kontrabida ang nagawa ko? Lahat ‘yon pwedeng maging ako in one day. Subukan niyo pong magkamali. Lahat po ng inaaral natin sa buhay ay i-aapply natin.”
Castro quickly responded in jest, “’Di naman namin aagawin. Gusto lang namin mag-Tanggol-Tanggol,” prompting more laughter from everyone, including Montes.
Julia also gamely answered a question about whether she believes she’s Coco’s “forever,” responding with a laugh, “I think [he has no] choice.”
The couple confirmed their relationship in 2023 after years of fan speculation. Coco revealed at the time that they had already been together for 12 years.
