Sa naging interview ni Julia Barretto kay Karen Davila sa YouTube vlog nito kunsaan eksklusibong ipinakita ni Julia ang ilang bahagi ng kanyang naipundar na bahay, mababakas sa mga salita ng aktres ang wagas na pagmamahal niya sa kanyang inang si Marjorie Barretto.
Nabanggit nito kung paano niya hinahangaan si Marjorie sa naging pagpapalaki sa kanilang limang magkakapatid (Dani, Claudia, Leon at Erich).
Nadaanan din sa kanilang interbyuhan ang dahilan kung bakit sa murang edad ay nagta-trabaho na siya.
Aniya, akala lang daw ng karamihan na naging magaan ang buhay nila habang lumalaki, pero ipagtapat ni Julia na naka-14 na bahay silang nirentahan bago pa nakabili ng townhouse si Marjorie kunsaan, sa isang room lang silang lahat magkakasamang natutulog.
“But you know, we never really had that self-pity na mentality,” positibong lahad ni Julia. “We’re always like intact as a family. Basta magkasama kami, anything will be okay.”
“She’s very strong,” saad niya tungkol sa ina.
Hindi rin daw naging madamot ang kanyang ina sa pag-unawa sa kanya through the years.
“Whatever situation I put myself to, whatever… she will never crucify me for it. I feel like when other people crucified me, madali siyang ma-brush-up because my own mom does not even crucify me. So, things will be okay.
“’Pag gano’n talaga ang support system mo na ’yung mom mo, hindi pinaparamdam sa’yo na, ‘Julia!’”
Tahasan ding sinabi ni Julia na ang mommy niya ang kanyang personal hero.
“She really is, she’s my everything. I can’t live without her,” lahad niya.
Sinamantala na rin ni Karen Davila ang pagkakataon na ma-kumusta ang estado naman ng relasyon nilang magkakapatid sa ama nilang si Dennis Padilla. At sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, simula nang magkaroon na naman ng isyu sa pagitan ng mag-aama ay nagbigay ng pahayag si Julia tungkol sa ama.
“I’ll be very honest, we have not spoken. It’s because I have so much fear inside me now if I’ll be very open,” simula niyang pag-amin.
“I’m just really scared because I feel like over the years, it’s been a cycle of making up and getting hurt. Then, making up and getting hurt.
“I kinda just want to huminga lang from that cycle. You know, I’ve just been praying also na I don’t know, maybe in God’s time and way, mag-meet kami in the middle without having to get hurt again.”
Deretsahan ding tinanong ni Karen si Julia kung napatawad na raw ba nito ang kanyang ama.
May ilang segundo na tila nag-isip muna si Julia bago sumagot na: “I think, it’s not difficult for us to forgive but it’s really difficult for us to just… it’s not the forgiveness, it’s to forget. But I think, it’s just lot of fears. I don’t know what’s gonna happen.
“But forgiveness, of course, definitely, that’s for my own peace of mind, ’di ba? Hindi ko ipagkakait ang forgiveness but I’m just not ready. There’s just been so much pain over the years since I was young. I got tired of the same thing.”
Over the years din, nabugbog din naman si Julia ng mga masasakit na comments ng netizen dahil sa alitan nila ng kanyang ama. At ang isa sa madalas ibato kay Julia ay may kinalaman sa ika-limang Utos ng Diyos sa Biblia: ang “Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ina.”
Inamin naman ng Viva actress na may burden siyang nararamdaman dahil dito at may pagkakataon pa nga raw na tinatanong niya ang Panginoon.
“Yes, of course… ’di ba nga, sa commandment, sa Bible, no matter what happens, they’re your parents. I always ask God actually, I always ask Him. ‘You know, God, I know that a parent is a parent. I’m only just the child. But at the same time, saan ’yung boundary na a child is also allowed to get hurt? Have their own pains?’
“I just need more love from him. I think, I just need more love, more protection. I just feel like he should be my number one protector and that’s not what I’m really getting from him so it does hurt. It does hurt because dapat siya ang tinatakbuhan ko, ’di ba? But it’s sad that I can’t. I pray for it like, ‘God, can you forgive me even if right now, hindi pa okey ang lahat?”
Hindi rin itinanggi ni Julia na may pagkakataon daw talaga na nagri-reach-out sa kanya si Dennis. Pero, hindi pa lang daw siya ready na harapin ito.
“I won’t lie, I mean, he’s tried. But I’m just really not ready. I don’t wanna force myself also because if you force yourself, then it’s not genuine, hindi siya totoo.
“I wanna get to a point na, you know, when we speak, I’m ready. It’s just years of the same conversation. So, I don’t know na pag nag-usap kami, what I could say differently for things to be okay forever na.”
Sinagot din ni Julia kung ano ang naging reaksyon niya sa palitan ng Instagram post nina Dennis at ng nakababatang kapatid niya na si Leon Baldivia noong nakaraang Father’s Day.
“I was very pained but not cried. Maybe because it’s wasn’t new. It was more like pain because before, it used to be just between my Dad and I and now it’s between my younger brother and my Dad.
“And it’s painful kasi sometimes, kung p’wedeng sa akin na lang all the pain. If I can just spare my siblings from some traumas from certain conversation. It did pain to watch him grow through what I have to go through but he’s brave, he’s very brave.
“And I love him because now he’s the man of the house. He’s so protective and he’s the youngest pa. I’m grateful he spoke up and he protected us.”
Ayon pa kay Julia, gusto rin naman daw niya na sana isang araw, tulad ng mga nangyayari sa ibang pamilya nawasak, ay magkasama-sama rin silang pamilya—ang mommy niya, mga kapatid at ang daddy niya—sa isang pagkakataon o okasyon nang may complete healing na.
“Yeah, yeah, I think it’s possible,” saad pa ng bida Expensive Candy na kasalukuyan nang palabas ngayon sa mga sinehan.
“I do hope though that there’s healing between everyone and na ma-resolve but I’m not sure if it can ever be the same again. That’s just the truth. I’m not sure if it can ever be the same again.
“But I just hope for healing and ma-resolve.”
