MANILA, Philippines - Ayaw pa ring patigil ni Mommy Inday Barretto sa paglalabas ng kanyang saloobin hinggil sa nangayayari namang ‘word war’ sa pagitan ng dalawa pa niyang anak na sina Jay-jay Barretto at Gia Barretto-Reyes. Nasangkot ang dalawang ito dahil sa pagtatanggol kina Gretchen at Claudine sa kaguluhang ito sa kanilang pamilya.
Sa column ni Ricky Lo sa Philippine Star muling nailathala ang diumano’y ‘last letter’ na ilalabas ni Mommy Inday upang tuldukan na ang gulong ito. Maaanghang ang mga salitang binitiwan niya na siguradong ikagigimbal na naman ng publiko.
“I am back for the last time, now the target of vicious lies and allegations, a leading lady to a teleserye of made-up stories.
“I was warned that it is hard to win a war against those evil unless one is evil, too.
“I should be afraid having no money and power to get legal assistance. Many offered to talk on my behalf, people not related but have been part of and witness to our family life.
“And so having no need for a Limping Cockroach to come out from a hole for a glimpse of light, I stand up unafraid to correct these vicious lies.
“To Tanya, you say you respect me. Please don’t — keep it— you need that for yourself. I don’t need respect from someone like you. I have plenty of it from where I come from.â€
Mahaba pa ang nasabing sulat ni Mrs. Barretto.
