Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia looked back on their relationship, asking each other questions about “regrets” and “wishes.”

The former couple, who is set to star in the upcoming movie “Un/Happy for You,” spoke about these as they took on the lie detector game, as seen on RecCreate’s YouTube channel on Sunday, Aug. 4. The questions the pair asked each other were prepared by the game organizers.

“Have you ever wished I fought for our relationship more?” Garcia asked, to which Barretto replied, “We want people to fight for us, so yeah.

“I mean, it’s true. We want people that we fight for, fight for us back. So, take a hint,” she added.

Barretto then asked Garcia if he regrets their relationship, and the actor said he doesn’t. 

“Of course not. Hindi ko siya nire-regret. Two years ‘yon, ang tagal nung relationship. Ang daming itinuro sa akin na nagamit ko sa mga sunod ko na relationship,” he stated. 

Barretto also said her family “genuinely cared” for Garcia when they were together.

During the game, Barretto, who described Garcia as a “good partner,” also admitted that she missed being on the same set with the actor.

“I do love working with Josh. We really have this special dynamic. Iba ‘yung communication namin at ‘yung pagkakaintindi namin sa isa’t isa,” she explained. “Parang may kasama ka sa laban na ‘to, parang may ka-journey ka.”

Barretto and Garcia dated from 2017 to 2019.
