Actress Julia Barretto has been unveiled as the 2024 calendar girl of the liquor brand Tanduay on Wednesday, November 15.
"Here she is, tropa. Get ready for 2024 with our newest Tanduay Calendar Girl, Julia Barretto!" Tanduay said in a Facebook post where they shared some behind-the-scenes footage of the 26-year-old actress during the shoot.
Speaking to the press during the launch, Julia revealed that she was both nervous and excited to represent the brand in 2024.
"Excited but nervous because it means having to be a lot more braver in expressing myself. 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," she told reporters.
In photos she shared on social media, Barretto can be seen donning a pair of red lacey two-piece.
“I'm grateful for projects like these that pushes me to be more confident in what I am. 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.”
With Julia's announcement as the newest Taduay girl, she now follows in the footsteps of her aunt, Gretchen Barretto who was also the face of the liquor brand in 1995.
