PINUSUAN ng libu-libong netizens ang topless photo ni Julia Barretto sa Instagram na hudyat daw ng kanyang pagiging super independent.
Ipinost ng Kapamilya actress ang nasabing litrato sa IG bilang bahagi ng kanyang 23rd birthday last Tuesday at sinabing pagtutuunan muna niya ngayon ang sarili more than anything else.
Sa nasabing topless photo, makikita ang number 23 na nakapinta sa kanang pisngi na may caption na, “23. In this chapter in my life, I am FREE.
“Free to speak. Free to act. Free to feel. Free to love. Because this time, I am choosing ME.”
Bukod sa mga kapatid at ilang kaibigan sa showbiz, binati rin si Julia ng inang si Marjorie Barretto kung saan ibinandera nito ang paghanga sa katapangan ng anak dahil nalampasan nito ang lahat ng pagsubok at pamba-bash ng madlang pipol.
“I learned so much about you and the person you have become, just by witnessing you overcome trials and judgements, pain of losing a loved one (Pikey) with so much strength and grace,” ani Marjorie.
Dagdag pa niya, “You shut off from the outside world, worked harder than ever, focused on the goal, stayed close to me and your siblings, chose your battles and became wiser in choosing your circle of friends. You are STRONG, BRAVE, DETERMINED, HARDWORKING, PRAYERFUL, GENEROUS, LOVING and KIND and so ready to take on the world.”
Ang isa sa pinakamatinding challenge na hinarap ni Julia last year ay ang pagkaka-link kay Gerald Anderson na sinasabing dahilan ng paghihiwalay ng aktor at ni Bea Alonzo.
