Meanwhile, Filipina-French athlete Emilienne Vigier, the rumored girlfriend of Joshua Garcia, praised the actor and Julia for their performance in the film.

“You all have my utmost respect for the craft you all have. Making so many Filipinos happy and comforted with your undeniable talent all around the world. Salamat," Emilienne added.
