In an interview during the launch, Julia expressed both her excitement and nervousness. She told the press that it was an honor to be to represent the brand for 2024. Excited but nervous because it means having to be a lot more braver in expressing myself,” she said. 

Julia also added that she hopes to make her team and family proud about the new calendar. “To be the face of it, malaki siyang karangalan sa ‘kin and I hope that I did them proud. I hope that the team and my new family is proud about the new calendar. Sana marami maging masaya at matuwa sa aking ginawa a few months ago pa,”

Other than showing gratitude on the opportunity, Baretto also added on how projects like this makes her more comfortable with her own skin. 

“These things I do only help me become a more secure and braver woman,” she said. “I am flattered. As you grow older you end up being more confident in who you are, in your own skin. If that translates people to be brave, to come out of their shell, I’ll take it.”

Meanwhile, a lot of netizens had expressed their love and support on Julia’s new project.
