Julia Barretto is supposed to star in a Dominador Ad Castillo novel, “Cofradia” was first remade in a film starring veteran actress Gloria Romero in 1953, followed by another movie topbilled by Gina Alajar in 1973.
Star Magic’s rising star Julia Barretto will no longer do the television remake of Cofradia, her supposed launching teleserye in the Kapamilya network. Rumors have also spread online that the reasons why Cofradia was cancelled is because of the dismal ratings of Julia Barretto’s “MMK” episode. Others say that the cancellation of “Cofradia” might be caused by early criticisms about the concept of the show which geared towards racism and will instill the thought that real beauty only belongs to the fair-skinned.
The story of Cofradia revolved around the story of a girl who is afraid to fall in love because of her dark complexion, but will eventually transform into a beautiful young lady through the help of a magic candle.
There has been no information yet on why ABS-CBN cancelled this show. The story conference for the new show of Julia Barretto is scheduled on July 7.
