MANILA, Philippines – Actress Julia Barretto defended herself from people pointing fingers at her when onscreen partner and former boyfriend Joshua Garcia was left alone during the after – party of “ASAP Natin ‘To” in California.
“I did not leave Joshua alone. He opted & requested to be left alone. He asked to eat & mingle alone. Why are all these fingers being pointed at me YET AGAIN?” Barretto wrote Monday on a Twitter post.
“Bakit nanaman siya kawawa sa naging choice and decision niya, and bakit kasalanan ko pa to? Wala kumakawawa sa kanya,” she added.

“I don’t understand kung ano ang gusto ng mga tao. Umiiwas na nga si Julia para wala ng gulo, ayun na-bash na naman kasi iniwan daw si Josh. Kawawa daw, mag-isa sa table. Pakiexplain po kung anong gusto nyong mangyari. #ASAPNatinToBayArea @starmagicphils @StarCinema,” a netizen’s Twitter post read.

Barretto rued that people have been enjoying making Garcia look “pitiful” but assured that the actor “enjoyed himself” during the after- party.
“Masyado nageenjoy tao gawin kawawa si Joshua sa lahat ng bagay, kahit wala na connection sa kahit na ano. May magawa lang na story. Trust me, the guy is ok. He enjoyed himself last night. Wala sila lahat alam. Wait lang kayo,” Barretto said.
