Barretto chimed in, “We were very shocked, but at the same time we really just grabbed the opportunity because this doesn’t happen all the time. We are going to be working with icons.”

“Minsan lang sila magkaroon ng pelikula… Masaya kami na nabigay ang role na yon (They rarely have movies together. We’re happy that the roles went to us),said Garcia. 

JoshLia will also have their own TV show, but fans will have to wait until next month to find out more about it.

It will be a family affair for Barretto as “Bad Boy” Robin Padilla is her father’s brother.
