The rising star said it has always been one of her dreams to be able to star in one of ABS-CBN's longest running television programs.

According to her, the moment the project was offered to her, though nervous of the great responsibility it would lay on her shoulders, she immediately grabbed the chance without any second thoughts. She shared that she felt so honored to be part of the show, let alone get the lead role for it on her first go.

She added that she is feeling the pressure but she is very determined to prove to everyone that she is not just another pretty face nor another daughter of a famous celebrity couple.

Written by Mark Angos and directed by Dado Lumibao, the heart-warming episode also features Ara Mina, James Blanco, Jacob Dionisio, Tommy Abuel, Manuel Chua, Kristoff Meneses, Marikit Morales, and Yda Yaneza.

Julia Barretto is the daughter of former celebrity couple Marjorie Barretto and Dennis Padilla. She is part of the latest batch of Star Magic Circle and has snatched the lead role in the upcoming ABS-CBN teleserye, titled "Cofradia."
