At the opening of the 2025 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival at the Red Carpet Cinema of Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City recently, actress and TV host Julia Clarete in her rare appearance, disclosed that she is a Visayan.
“My mom is a Visayan, she’s Ilongga,” quipped as she presented one of the finalists to the Short Film category of the festival as she read the title.
“I am familiar with these words, ‘Kung Tugnaw Ang Kaidalman Sang Lawod’ or ‘Cold as the Ocean Runs Deep’ by Seth Andrew Blanca,” beamed Julia who radiated in her simple long gown.
Clarete once in a while appears in showbiz gatherings even as she is busy as the wife of businessman Garet McGowen.
