INIGO PASCUAL AT JULIA BARRETTO
TODO pagtatanggol ang ginawa ni Iñigo Pascual sa ka-loveteam na si Julia Barretto sa naglabasang mali-lisyosong intriga tungkol sa dalaga.
Ayon sa binatang anak ni Piolo Pascual, napakabait na tao ni Julia kaya unfair na batuhin siya ng kung anu-anong masasakit na salita dahil hindi naman daw siya kilala perso-nally ng mga basher. Kung makakasama lang daw nila ang Kapamilya teen star ay siguradong magbabago ang kanilang pananaw tungkol sa pagkatao ng dalaga.
Sa presscon ng bagong serye ng ABS-CBN na And I Love You So, sinabi ni Iñigo na lagi lang siyang nandiyan para kay Julia na na-link naman ngayon kay James Reid. May mga kuwentong kumalat na nakitang naghahalikan daw sina James at Julia sa isang bar sa BGC, Taguig. Nagdenay na si James tungkol dito.
“I’m just being a friend to her. That’s really the best way to show a friend that you care…by being there for them. Even a call would help and I guess just a small gesture, like posting an appreciation, like what I did.
“Even a small gesture can affect someone. It would make them feel more appreciated and feel better,” pahayag ni Iñigo.
Para sa binatilyo, “Julia is real. Julia is one of the kindest. Na-misinterpret siya as mataray or whatever ‘coz she came from that type of family na they speak English. They’re actually kind, really down to earth people. It’s just the way they are.”
Hirit pa ng ka-loveteam ni Julia, “Just because people speak English doesn’t mean they’re mataray or snob. I speak English and mahirap i-express ang feelings namin in Tagalog. I have a hard time even if I want to speak Tagalog. It’s just I express it even better in English.
“That’s the thing that people tend to do, they stereotype. Mahirap magsalita sa trabaho namin. It’s really like that, so we just have to accept that.
“She’s my friend. Kahit naman sabihin natin na hindi kami naaapektuhan, we still want to be there for them. Even I get hurt sometimes when I get mean comments or negative stuff. I guess, just being there for the person helps,” paliwanag pa ng Kapamilya actor.
Feeling naman ni Inigo, walang masyadong epekto sa loveteam nila ni Julia ang pagkaka-link ng dalaga kay James Reid, “In this job naman, I don’t think we should let personal stuff (get) affected. To be honest, I don’t know what’s going on with her personal life and vice versa.
“And it’s not my business if there’s anything going on. We just work. Kung anuman ang ibigay sa amin, we have that friendship, parang we work together and we know what we want,” esplika pa ng binata.
Samantala, sa trailer pa lang ng And I Love You So, alam mo nang pinag-isipan talaga ang takbo ng kuwento nito, pati na ang pagpili ng mga award-winning and veteran stars na susuporta kina Julia, Iñigo at Miles Ocampo na finally ay magkakaroon na ng sariling teleserye – at bidang-bida pa.
Bida-kontrabida naman ang role ni Julia rito na aniya’y marami ring pagkakapareho sa tunay niyang personalidad.
Ilan sa mga magagaling na artistang mapapanood din gabi-gabi sa AILYS ay sina Dante Rivero, Dimples Romana, Angel Aquino, Benjie Paras, Jay Manalo, Nikki Valdez, nandiyan din ang mga bagets na sina Francis Magundayao at Kenzo Gutierrez, dating housemate sa PBB 737. Ito’y sa direksiyon nina Onat Diaz at Jon Villarin.
