In the interview, Julia candidly shared her feelings about her relationship with her father. She admitted that they had not spoken for some time.

Julia also opened up on forgiveness, emphasizing its importance for her peace of mind but acknowledging that she is not yet ready to fully reconcile.

“Hindi ko pagkakait ang forgiveness but I’m just not ready. I think there’s just been so much pain over the years since I was young so parang I got tired of the same thing,” she said.

Apart from their strained relationship, the actress revealed she yearned for love and protection from her father.

“I think I just need more love, more protection… dapat siya yung tinatakbohan ko but it’s sad that I can’t,” she expressed.

Despote hardships, Julia shared how she turns to prayer for guidance and healing, asking, “God, can you forgive me even if like right now hindi pa okay ang lahat?”

The resurfaced clip has reignited public discourse surrounding the Barretto family’s strained dynamics. Dennis Padilla’s recent remarks about feeling excluded from Claudia’s wedding prompted netizens to revisit Julia’s past statements, offering deeper insight into the emotional weight behind their long-standing issues.
