Binigay ko kay Claudia, 'yung younger sister ko, 'yung ticket,' revealed Julia during the story conference of their upcoming film that will be directed by Antoinette Jadaone.</div><div><br/></div><div>Turned out though, Julia's sister decided that she no longer wanted to see the show.</div><div><br/></div><div>'I called him. I said I wanted to be with him in the concert so he bought a ticket,' Julia revealed.</div><div><br/></div><div>'Mga three hours before siya naghanap. Hindi naman siya nag-regret. It was his first concert,” she continued.</div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class='instagram-media instagram-media-rendered' id='instagram-embed-0' src='https://www.instagram.com/p/BSgD_jSg5F4/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=7#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A96.64%7D' allowtransparency='true' frameborder='0' height='856' data-instgrm-payload-id='instagram-media-payload-0' scrolling='no' style='background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); margin: 1px 1px 12px; max-width: 658px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: none; display: block; padding: 0px;'></iframe><script async='' defer='' src='//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js'></script></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class='instagram-media instagram-media-rendered' id='instagram-embed-1' src='https://www.instagram.com/p/BSfmq4qAZlF/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=7#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A98.18%7D' allowtransparency='true' frameborder='0' height='528' data-instgrm-payload-id='instagram-media-payload-1' scrolling='no' style='background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); margin: 1px 1px 12px; max-width: 658px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: none; display: block; padding: 0px;'></iframe><script async='' defer='' src='//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js'></script></div><div><br/></div><div>But the two were quick to clarify that they are not yet a couple.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua, likewise shared that he is not wooing the A Love to Last actress just yet.</div><div><br/></div><div>“Sayang kasi 'yung trabaho.

Every time I am with him, I feel safe lang because I know na I’m taken cared of,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Joshua and Julia are set to headline their first title film together within the year.</div><div><br/></div>
