That was back in July. So challenging yung pinagsabay ko iyong nag-shu-shooting ako tapos pag-uwi ko ng hotel, sumisingit ako ng mga konting mga crunches, nakakasingit ako ng konting mga exercises. But again, when you’re surrounded with the right team and the right people,  naalagaan talaga ng maayos.</p><p>&quot;But isa yun sa mga things I believe in, yung you don&#x27;t get ready when you have something to be ready for. Dapat palagi kang ready. Whether you&#x27;re preparing for something or not, be active and exercise. Para pag dumating yung time na medyo kailangan mo magpakita ng tiyan, medyo kailangan magpakita ng skin, ready ka na. It&#x27;s not as if you&#x27;re cramming anymore to be ready for a project. I believe in always being ready and always being prepared,” she said during her launch as the 2024 Tanduay calendar girl.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/11/16/julia-barretto-on-reactions-to-her-sexy-image-i-m-flattered-835"><strong>READ: Julia Barretto on reactions to her sexy image: ‘I’m flattered!’<br/></strong></a></div><p>One of the biggest things Julia is also thankful for is having a strong support system around her whenever she makes big decisions about her career, including her family and boyfriend Gerald Anderson.</p><p>“You know with everything that I do especially with projects that require a little bit more skin, I really love to sit down and discuss with my family and my loved ones and one of the things that I really love about my support system is that they’re so supportive in anything that I want to do and what I want to explore and I want to challenge myself and push myself. I’m so grateful that I have a supportive family, I have a supportive partner, and I have supportive friends. They’re the reasons why I’m confident and I’m brave and I’m secure,” she shared.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Czq3Vz0PSi0/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=450&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A227040.79999995232%2C%22ls%22%3A17196.299999952316%2C%22le%22%3A17259.100000023842%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/3/29/julia-barretto-launches-new-swimsuit-line-1403"><strong>READ: Julia Barretto launches new swimsuit line</strong></a></div><p>For next year, Julia said she already has a lot to look forward to with multiple projects in the works.</p><p>“Life is so unpredictable and serious and even the opportunities that are being presented to me also come as a surprise to me and there are of course a lot of things to look forward to in 2024 aside from of course the movies that I shot this year that will be shown next year. I guess 2024 will be exciting and a surprise even for me. So we’ll see. Tingnan natin next year kung ano ba ang magiging surprises natin. But for now this is our first 2024 offering.
