MANILA, Philippines — Controversial star Claudine Barretto has reportedly reignited her feud with her niece Julia by comparing her acting skills with namesake Julia Montes. 

In screen captures of Claudine’s social media post, she was asked by an online user who she thought had stronger acting skills between Julia Barretto and Julia Montes.

"JULIA MONTES OFCOURSE," the youngest Barretto sister replied.

She was then asked if it was an honest opinion or simply because she was "still mad" at her niece.

Her reply to which was a simple "sweetheart BOTH."
