Julia Barretto ready to prove herself

MANILA, Philippines - Rising Kapamilya teen star Julia Barretto’s (photo) dream to appear in Maalaala Mo Kaya comes true tomorrow night.

“I cannot believe that it is really happening. I am very happy and excited for my first MMK,” said Julia.

According to Julia, she did not think twice about accepting the role when it was offered to her.

“I immediately said yes because I have always wanted to do an episode for the show. But at the same time, I am really nervous because it is a huge responsibility and honor for me to be entrusted with an MMK story,” she shared.

Despite the pressure, Julia said that she is ready to prove herself to everyone. “I am very nervous because I might not meet the expectations of other people and I am afraid that I might disappoint them. Sometimes I try not to think about it because I just want to focus on how to improve my acting skills and show everybody that I can do this,” she said.

Together with Julia in the episode are Ara Mina, James Blanco, Jacob Dionisio, Tommy Abuel, Manuel Chua, Kristoff Meneses, Marikit Morales and Yda Yaneza. It is researched by Akeep Jordan del Rosario, written by Mark Angos and directed by Dado Lumibao.

MMK airs Saturday nights after Wansapanataym on ABS-CBN.
