WE always admire Gretchen Barretto’s honesty. Kapag hindi niya feel ang tanong, wala siyang choice kundi sabihin ang nasasaloob niya.
A reporter tried in vain na kunin ang kanyang side about a wild rumor but in true La Greta fashion ay nasopla kaagad siya, “I’d rather not (answer) whatever it is (you will be asking) because if you ask me that then that means it’s not (true).
I think I believe that I already mentioned earlier that I would like to talk purely about my career.
No other thing else,” litanya ni La Greta sa presscon ng The Princess And I.
“Whatever rumor that it is I don’t want because I’m not in this business for anything of that sort especially mag-e-air kami.
Parang I don’t need anything that is negative or untrue.
Rumors are rumors,” dagdag ng kontroberisyal na aktres.
So, what was the wild rumor about? Ang sabi sa amin, ito raw ay tungkol sa diumano’y pagbubuntis ng anak ni Gretchen na si Dominique.
One more thing, Gretchen honestly admitted na she initially felt na consuelo de bobo lamang ang Princess And I para sa na-shelve niyang soap opera na Alta.
“Honestly, I felt that in the beginning.
When I read the script, ‘Ha? Bakit ganito?’ I have a lot of questions.
For a while, gusto ko nang mag-backout,” paliwanag ng aktres na gumanap bilang reyna na si Ashi Behati.
Pero worth it naman daw na ginawa niya ang soap na pinagbibidahan ni Kathryn Bernardo.
While taping it in Bhutan, she discovered na hindi naman pala ito consuelo de bobo.
As the taping progresses, nag-iba ang pagtingin ni Gretchen sa proyekto.
Feeling niya ay super suwerte sila ni Albert Martinez because they were part of this grand production.
“Sabi nga namin ni Albert, it’s a legacy. Now I can say this is a worthy replacement.”
While admitting that she was badly hurt when Alta was shelved, naging malaking factor naman ang partner niyang si Tonboy Cojuangco para maka-move on siya sa pain na kanyang naramdaman.
“Sabi niya sa akin hindi lahat ng gusto mo makukuha mo.
Hindi lahat ng dinadasal mo ibibigay sa ‘yo.
But you can rest in the comfort in knowing that God will always give you what’s best,” Gretchen explained.
Contrary to what other might have suspected na kapag may sakit na nararamdaman ay shop to death ang beauty ni La Greta, sinabi ng aktres na hindi naman lahat nag pain ay nasosolusyunan ng pagsa-shopping.
“Retail theraphy ba? Hindi naman lahat ng sakit ay napapawi ng shopping,” matalinhagang sabi ng hitad.
