Julia ikinumpara ang mga iskandalong hinarap sa naghihirap na Pinoy: Nakakahiya sa kanila

“HIYANG-HIYA naman ako sa mga taong nawalan ng trabaho at wala nang makain.”

Yan ang napi-feel ni Julia Barretto kapag tinatanong siya kung paano niya kinaya ang mga kontrobersyang kinasangkutan niya last year.

Ilan sa mga hinarap na issue ng dalaga noong patapos na ang 2019 ay ang biglaang paghihiwalay nila ni Joshua Garcia at ang pagiging third party niya umano sa maiskandalong break-up nina Gerald Anderson at Bea Alonzo.

Idagdag pa riyan ang pag-aaway-away ng mga miyembro ng pamilya Barretto noong mamatay ang lolo niyang si Miguel Barretto.

“When I’m asked, ‘How did you handle?’ It’s like there are more people we should be asking that question because of the way they just survive things, especially now just watching what other people are going through,” aniya sa chikahan nila ni G3 San Diego para sa “#LiveWithG3”.

“We are losing people, people are getting sick, people are losing their jobs. Some people have nothing to eat on the table. That’s much worse than what I went through last year,” dagdag pa ng dalaga.

Pahayag pa ng young actress, 23 years old pa lang siya at naniniwala siyang marami pang pwedeng mangyari sa buhay niya.

“I have yet to have my family, my own children, adulting and when I’m in my 30s and 40s. It’s just a different battle each year.

“For me, at that time, okay this is the battle I’m facing now but you just gotta get moving until the next one. It’s not the end of the world last year,” chika pa ni Julia.

Samantala, tungkol naman sa pagiging Barretto, mas malamang pa rin daw ang mga advantage kesa sa mga disadvantage ang maging anak ng parehong artista (Dennis Padilla at Marjorie Barretto).

“In terms of being in the same industry, of course. I think people always have that notion na ‘Anak ‘yan ng artista so mas madali. They think it’s easier.
“But honestly, it is so so hard because there’s so much pressure. And the comparison is until your last project in your career or until you grow old,” aniya.

“And you know, for a while you’ll be in the shadow and you’ll have so much to prove before you can get out of that shadow.

“And you have to prove why you deserve to be in the industry, why you’re in the industry, why you’re not just there because of your last name,” dugtong pa ng dalaga.
