Dominique Cojuangco and mom Gretchen Barretto not attending Julia Barretto's debut party

Nananatiling malapit ang magpinsang sina Julia Barretto at Dominique Cojuangco sa kabila ng “silent war” na namamagitan sa kanilang mga ina na sina Marjorie at Gretchen Barretto.

Sa Instagram account ni Dominique ay nag-post siya ng mensahe para sa kanyang pinsan na si Julia, na nagdiriwang ng kanyang ika-18 kaarawan ngayong araw, March 10.

Ang post ay lumang larawan nina Dominique at Julia, kung saan sa caption ay sinabi ng una: “Life can be tough, but it can be great too. [Here's] to trudge and fly through it hand in hand with you, just like in this photo:)”

To my busy little bumblebee🐝 I hope you have one of the most beautiful of days today. Time flies so fast! You're finally legal and I'm ready to gear up for chaos✈️ Life can be tough, but it can be great too. Here to trudge and fly through it hand in hand with you, just like in this photo:) Happy 18th!

Noong Huwebes, March 5, nag-post din si Dominique sa Twitter at sinabing hindi siya makakadalo sa debut party ni Julia dahil hindi pa tapos ang second term ng school year nila sa London, England.

My 2nd term of uni hasn't ended. I won't be at Julia's 18th. We've spoken & she understands! I'm chasing my dreams as she has chased hers:)

Kaugnay nito, hindi rin makakadalo sa debut ni Julia si Gretchen dahil kasalukuyan na itong nasa London para bisitahin si Dominique.

Naiintindihan naman daw ito ni Julia.

Sa nakaraang panayam sa kanya, sinabi ng 18-year-old Kapamilya star, “I'm not just thinking about myself.

“Siyempre, birthday niya. If she wants to be with her daughter in London, anak niya 'yon and pamangkin lang naman ako, di ba?

“I understand, hindi naman ako mababaw para magtampo roon. It's not a big deal.”

Nagdiwang ng kanyang ika-45 kaarawan si Gretchen noong March 6.

Sa nakaraang press conference ng Star Magic para kay Julia, ipinakita ang isang special video presentation kung saan nagbigay ng pagbati si Claudine para sa kaarawan ng pamangkin.

Inaasahan umano ni Julia na makita ang kanyang Tita Claudine sa kanyang kaarawan, na sinasabi niyang ang “purpose” ay makitang magkaayos na ang kanilang pamilya.

Dadalo kaya si Claudine sa debut party ni Julia mamayang gabi sa Shangri-La Hotel Makati? Maging daan na rin kaya ito para magkabati na sina Marjorie at Claudine?
