JULIA BARRETTO: CONTROVERSIES DON'T DEFINE WHO WE ARE

"I think the lessons and then of course, the different environments and meeting different personalities, like to work with (them), it's not always about other people. But it's always about how you can improve yourself so that you can adapt to the different environments and meet people halfway. It really is a two-way street for a harmonious environment," Julia recently said at a mediacon.

She was particularly asked about how the industry has made her mature given that she started acting at a very young age.

The 27-year-old actress added that there is something new to learn and something new to discover about herself. "I think being in the industry since I was a kid, it really (has) shaped who I am today, especially the challenges that arose (along the way)." On the subject of challenges, Julia stated that she would still choose the showbiz path despite the many struggles and challenges that she encountered in the past.
