Iñigo Pascual and Julia Barretto was launched as a love team in the longest-running drama anthology “Maalaa Mo Kaya” last Saturday November 30, 2014, which became one of the most talked-about topic in Twitter worldwide.
According to Marjorie Barretto, the MMK episode was one of her daughter’s finest, adding that Julia Barretto was very happy about the ratings and the trend. “It was one of her finest. Talagang kilig na kilig kami sa bahay. Julia was very happy about the ratings and the way it trended,” she added.
