Julia has been taking online classes at Southville International School and Colleges to earn her bachelor's degree in Business Administration, major in Marketing Management.

She wrote, "Here's to a new journey FROM HOME! I am glad to be part of Southville International School and Colleges as I officially go back to school.
"This is how I turn a crisis into an opportunity, doing things I've always wanted now that I have the luxury of time. Indeed, education is a lifelong venture.
"And what I love most is that at Southville, you can do your passion without compromising your academic goals.
"How does that sound? So this is it! #BeAmazingBeSouthville @southville_is [emoji]. [camera emoji] @paolohautea"
Aside from her studies, Julia has been busy with her family life and two projects with her rumored boyfriend Coco Martin.
Julia and Coco also filmed a movie with director Brillante Mendoza in Pola, Oriental Mindoro.
