MANILA — The stars of "Un/happy For You" Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia shared what they are sorry and thankful for about each other, years after their split.

Garcia thanked Barretto for helping and guiding him while shooting the film, and stressed that there is nothing to be sorry about.

"Thank you for being open doon sa journey natin sa pelikula. Thank you dahil alam kong hindi ako mag-isa roon sa pelikula kasi kapag may mga araw na down ako, ina-assure mo ‘ko," Garcia said.

"Nandid’yan ka para alalayan ako. Generous ka sa acting na binibigay mo and hindi ka madamot and wala akong dapat ika-sorry," he added.

Barretto echoed Garcia's sentiments, adding that the actor is always concerned with the well-being of the cast and crew. She then took a pause when asked what she's sorry for.

"Josh, thank you, because naramdaman ko sa buong time na sinu-shoot natin ‘tong pelikulang na ‘to, inalalayan mo talaga ako. Kilala mo ako, alam mo kapag medyo kinakabahan ako sa eksena, 'pag medyo parang 'yung energy ko nagbabago," the actress said. 

"Thank you because you're always asking kung okay ako and you're always finding ways to make sure everything and everyone on the set, okay kaming lahat, hindi lang ako, kaming lahat iniisip mo sa set," she added. 

Tha actress also thanked Garcia for being open to reunite with her with "Un/Happy For You."

"Thank you rin because ikaw din naging open to this idea of working together again, we're craxy for doing this but thank you for being open and being so generous and honest in all of our scenes," she said.  

Pressed on about their dynamics on set, Barretto assured fans that they are both secure with their own relationships.

"We’re both in a very secure place in our lives na kahit gumawa pa kami ng sampung pelikula. ‘Yung intensyon naman nu’n ay hindi makasira ng isang bagay. It’s not fair to put it that way to the people that will be affected with the way that you asked that question," she said.

"We’re okay. Tingnan mo ang saya naming natapos ‘Un/happy For You’ lahat ng tao sa paligid namin masaya para sa ‘min. It says a lot of where we both are in our lives."

Joining Barretto and Garcia are Nonie Buencamino, Ketchup Eusebio, John Lapus, Kaila Estrada, Aljon Mendoza, Bong Gonzales, Ana Abad Santos, and Meann Espinosa.

Directed by Petersen Vargas and written by Kookai Labayen, Crystal San Miguel, and Jen Chuaunsu, "Un/happy For You" will hit theaters on August 14.
