Megastar Sharon Cuneta went all out in her support for Julia Barretto and her latest film, “I Love You, Hater,” which opened in cinemas last July 11.
Barretto recently shared an open letter on her Instagram about how she is often doubted as an actress and how she wants to be more than her last name.The post saw the heartfelt support of Cuneta, who addressed Barretto on her own Instagram last July 16.
Cuneta reposted Barretto’s initial post on her account, and wrote, “I love my Julia, and my Joshua with all my heart. Please don’t miss ‘I Love You, Hater’ which also stars Ms. Kris Aquino. It is a wonderful, feel-good film that ‘my kids’ have poured their hearts into!”
Then on July 17, Cuneta once again made a post of support for both Barretto and Joshua Garcia, telling them they should be proud of themselves for their hard work.
“I love you with all my heart, Julia and Joshua. Be proud of YOURSELVES. YOU have worked hard and loved this movie from the start. GOD shall reward your humility.”
Cuneta, too, told them it doesn’t matter what others have to say and promised them that she would always be there for them.
“Kung may anumang intriga, BE GENEROUS IN SPIRIT na lang because you do not owe anyone an explanation for anything. I LOVE YOU. I WILL BE HERE FOR YOU ALWAYS.”
Yet despite Cuneta’s heartfelt post for the two, some netizens couldn’t help but ask why Cuneta didn’t congratulate Queen of All Media Kris Aquino, who also stars in the movie.
One netizen (@detteskisobremonte) commented on Cuneta’s post and wrote, “Oh my! Please it’s also Kris’ movie, why didn’t you congratulate her?”
Cuneta swiftly addressed the netizens’ comment and told them she acknowledged Aquino in her first post because it is also Aquino’s movie.
“Read my first post in the comments section of Julia’s open letter here,” wrote Cuneta back. “I acknowledged Kris because this is also her movie. But i am being supportive of the one who wrote the open letter because i love her and she deserves my support. There is no problem between me and kris so let’s not make one.”
“How about Kris Aquino our dear Mega?” asked one Mina (@iamminahidalgo). “I hope everything’s ok between you two because I love you both!”
Cuneta, too, replied to the netizen and clarified they have no problem with each other.
“@iamminahidalgo we have no problem and I certainly do not want to cause one,” replied Cuneta. “I am merely giving my Julia and Joshua love and support which they deserve.
Back in March, Cuneta and Aquino were found being sweet to each other on social media as they exchanged gifts with each other. Cuneta gave Aquino a designer Oscar dela Renta sweater, while Aquino gave Cuneta fur Gucci loafers and a Gucci “Marmont” velvet bag. Aquino also called Cuneta her “ate,” while Cuneta referred to her as “baby girl.” /ra
