<p>As one of the stars of the upcoming Vivamax Original series The Seniors, Awra Briguela said he was happy to finally get the chance to work with Julia Barretto for the very first time. The former <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano"><em><u><strong>FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano</strong></u></em></a> actor said they’ve been friends for almost six years now, ever since he started in showbiz as a young star. </p><p>“Nag-start talaga yung friendship namin ni ate way, way back nung 2016 pa. Nag-start yun kasi lagi lang kaming nagkakasalubong sa <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/asap"><em><u><strong>ASAP</strong></u></em></a>. Never pa kami nagka-projects together pero sobrang sweet niya sa akin. Ate talaga siya. And then she invited me to her 19th birthday which is sa house nila. And then after that, nung mga the next years na hindi na kami masyadong nag-usap, ganyan. And then naulit lang kaming nagkausap dito sa project na ‘to and super naging close kami while making the series,” he shared during The Seniors mediacon last March 14.  </p><div> </div><blockquote

Lagi lang siyang na-mi-misinterpret ng tao pero ibang iba yung pagkakakilala ko kay ate. Like super caring niya and super lbait niyang tao. Sobrang loving niya eh. Sobrang joyful lang ni ate, gusto niya na lagi lang masaya. Kasi sa The Seniors, kahit nagkaka-problem ang saya saya pa rin. Tapos lagi niya akong tinatanong kung kumain na ako ara sabay kaming kumain.  Very ate talaga siya sa akin. And as a person alam yan ng ibang cast kung gaano kabait si ate</em>,” he explained.  </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2019/3/2/fresh-scoops/awra-briguela-stuns-with-his-js-prom-look-34800"><u><strong>READ: Awra Briguela stuns with his JS Prom look</strong></u></a></div><p>Created by directors Antoinette Jadaone and Dan Villegas, watch the world premiere of the series <em>The Senior</em> starting March 20 exclusively on Vivamax.
