Actress Claudine Barretto will use her sister Marjorie as her inspiration for her newest acting role.
Claudine recently signed with Atty. Ferdie Topacio’s Borracho films together with her manager, Arnold Vegafria, for her newest movie project.
Directed by Joel Lamangan, the movie is a family drama in which Claudine’s role will have a sister who is a special child. Even though the script is not yet finished, Claudine said that she can truly relate to it.
“Gusto ko talaga ang movie na ‘to. Kasi it’s about quarantine… ‘yung mga magkapatid… the love and hate of magkakapatid.
“Tapos special pa ‘yung bata na hindi nalalayo sa tunay kong kapatid na si Marjorie ‘di ba? May paghuhugutan ako dito….sinasabunut-sabunutan ako eh. Ayun!” she said.
The Barretto sisters’ conflict is one of the most controversial and longest family feuds in the showbiz clans.
Their earliest reported quarrel began in 2007, which happened between Gretchen Barretto, Marjorie, and husband Dennis Padilla. Since then, their family, especially the three sisters, Claudine, Marjorie, and Gretchen were involved in a series of fights and reconciliations.
But in 2013, things got complicated when Gretchen and Marjorie teamed up against an online basher of the latter’s daughter, Julia, who was about to start her career with Star Magic at that time.
In a comment, Gretchen was trying to imply, that the anonymous basher is someone related to Julia.
“That basher warned us that if Julia enters Star Magic she will do everything to ruin Julia because she claims she is the teleserye princess and will remain that way till the end of eternity.”
Days after that, their mother, Inday, wrote a letter against Gretchen, divulging the feud to the public.
The letter says, “I am letting go of a child now who never wanted me in order to save one who has always been there for all, and with all of her love, Claudine!”
Their feud worsened when their other siblings interfered, taking different sides. Jayjay sided with Gretchen, while Gia sided with the other.
Years later, Gretchen and Claudine reconciled and were now up against Marjorie.
When their father died in 2019, Gretchen attended the wake despite conflict with the other family members. President Duterte, who was present at that time, asked Gretchen to shake hands with Marjorie but she refused. Soon after, they once again took their argument online.
