MANILA, Philippines – It’s not every day you get a brand-new luxury ride from your daughter — unless you’re Marjorie Barretto.
The celebrity mom took to Instagram on Monday, August 4, to show off the latest addition to her garage: a Hyundai Staria minivan, courtesy of her eldest daughter, Julia Barretto.
“Today is a happy day,” Marjorie captioned her post, flashing a beaming smile next to her sleek new car.
“Thank you dearest Julia for this gift and all the love you shower me with. God bless you more. I love you 💗.”
All Love From Celeb Friends
Marjorie’s post quickly lit up with well-wishes and heart emojis from friends and fans alike.
“You deserve it all, Mommy Marj!!!!!! I am so happy for you!!!! God bless you more, Julia!!!!” commented Mariel Padilla.
“Awwww, so sweet Juju!!!” wrote celebrity stylist Cath Sobrevega.
Even Almira Muhlach joined the celebration, adding, “What a sweet and thoughtful daughter you have. Enjoy your new car, Marj!!”
A Daughter’s Gesture, A Mother’s Joy
The vehicle — estimated to start at ₱1.5 million — isn’t just a flashy gift. It’s a testament to Julia’s love and gratitude for the woman who raised her. Julia is Marjorie’s eldest child with actor Dennis Padilla.
Netizens couldn’t help but admire the mother-daughter bond, with many pointing out how Julia continues to provide and uplift her mom not just emotionally, but now also — literally — with a ride fit for a queen.
Looks like Mommy Marj is cruising through 2025 in style — and in love.
