Philippines - Julia Baldivia with a screen name of Julia Barretto, one of the nominees for Yahoo Celebrity 2014 Female Emerging Star of the Year, wants to drop her real surname "BALDIVIA" which is the family name of her dad, Dennis Padilla. 
Here are some statements from Julia vital to this issue (as per PEP):
"Ano… what do you call it? I hope you guys understand if ano… I don’t wannt speak of my father. Para yun na lang yung privacy ko na natitira. Yun na lang."
She's residing with her mom, Marjorie Barretto, but she keeps her communication open with her Dad.
Teen star Julia then states:
“My dad and I are okay. May communication naman kami ng dad ko”
Did she greet her dad this past Father's Day? “Yes, of course. Siyempre naman, he’s my father,” the 17-year-old actress answered.
She additionally said that:
“Hindi ko kasi alam kung ano ang gusto na niya ngayon. “He’s like 53. Ano ba’ng gusto ng 53 years old? Joke!”
Julia also says that her dad Dennis doesn't want any stuffs other than her hugs. But just this recently, there were showbiz news that Dennis' cellphone is too out of date and needs a replacement. Is Julia aware of it?
On this matter, she answered:
“Huh? Luma na cell phone niya? O, sige, bigyan natin siya ng cellphone,”
Being in a complicated family is never easy. The teen actress is approaching her legal age anytime soon and has her own life to live. She can decide for herself with whatever things she would want to do. This family issue can be resolved within their family circle.
Julia Barretto again says that "My dad and I are okay." (But why change the surname?)
