DENNIS Padilla has revealed that actress Claudine Barretto, was not invited to the wedding of her niece, Claudia Barretto — the youngest daughter of the comedian with ex-wife Marjorie Barretto.
In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Dennis shared that Claudine reached out to her sister Marjorie the night before the wedding, hoping to at least attend and give a gift to Claudia.
“Tumawag (si Claudine) kagabi sa akin. She (had sent) Viber messages to Marjorie ‘kung pwede naman siyang um-attend, magbibigay lang ng gift kay Claudia. Pangatlong message binura tapos blinock pa siya. So hindi na pumasok messages niya kaya iyak siya nang iyak,” Dennis said.
Dennis said he encouraged Claudine to show up anyway: “Sabi ko, ‘Kahit hindi ka invited, pumunta ka. Tatabihan kita.’ Alam mo naman kung gaano ka-spoiled si Claudia kay Claudine — parang anak na niya ’yon.”
Asked if Claudine and Marjorie were on good terms, Dennis said, “Pagkaunawa ko, hindi. Nakikiusap nga siyang ma-invite e. Kaya nga sinabi ko sa kanya na kahit hindi ka invited pumunta ka, tatabihan kita. Kasi kung dumating naman siya alangang itaboy mo? E si Claudine Barretto ‘yon. Tsaka tiyahin yon, kamag-anak ‘yon, kadugo ‘yon.”
He also confirmed that Marjorie and Claudine’s eldest sister, Gretchen Barretto, wasn’t invited either: “Giyera pa rin sila doon.”
