Her Beautiful But Delicate Skin

RG's actions and decisions that were made public have ruffled not a few feathers for years. How many eyebrows were raised when she chose to prioritize having a relationship/arrangement with a man at a very young age over her education? When that failed, pretty RG had a field day with the hot men that followed after. Until she found the perfect guy, her Knight in shining Armor KA.
Very private, KA's life was never the same again when he got involved with RG. Certainly, their relationship caused furor among society's crème de la crème. In showbiz, RG's colleagues were shocked and abuzz with wild rumors of details leading to the controversial relationship.
Needless to say, RG's life did a major turnaround, courtesy of KA. Suddenly, she was thrust in a world she could only dream of. The trappings, the perks of the privileged life was so overwhelming that it consumed her. Totally uninitiated in his world, RG the stranger allegedly trained and transformed herself to fit in, at the very least.
Not long after, she was known to be doing things to the extremes, as in excessively. Her wardrobe, cars, parties – generally, her flambuoyant lifestyle made news – to the disgust of her haters and envious enemies. Suffice it to say that her newly-acquired wealth truly rubbed off on her, flaunting it for everybody to ogle at. RG supposedly became detached to reality, acting as if she was born into wealth.
Many of RG's actions have made some people cringe for her gall, noting that the pretty star is so blatant in her claims – from her wardrobe down to her personal regimen or hygienics. She cannot be made to wear anything that she thinks would ruin her skin.
At a network event, she allegedly refused to wear a statement shirt for fear it might cause her allergy and make her skin itchy. She only obliged to wear it after production hesitantly agreed to her request to wear a cashmere shirt under it.
Truly, hers is a rich, delicate skin.

He Kept on Burning Friendships

PG's victory brought him not only fame and money but also friends, especially Rich Gay friends – something that PG allegedly gets excited about. Reportedly, these rich gays became his new friends after he became a major sensation.
Back then, not everyone knew that PG's climb to success was fought with much pain and struggle with family who could not accept, and almost disowned him. Fortunately, he had friends from his province, Real Friends RF who were with him from the very start when he was still a struggling nobody.
Reportedly, RF were the very people who helped him and gave him all the support, both moral and financial, so that he could join different gay contests in Manila. RF's knew how hard up PG was during those days, and they were the ones who pooled their resources so that PG would have nice costumes, gowns, transport fare to different contest venues.
When PG finally won that major contest, RF were the most ecstatic and happiest. PG thanked and acknowledged them for everything that they have done for him.
However, not long after, RF noticed that PG was slowly becoming detached towards them since. He was always not around when they would invite him for get-together or events. PG made no effort to reach out and reconnect. What hurt RF was that they felt PG was making them feel he no longer needed them.
Friends who were with him during his struggling days now feel dejected and unwelcome in PG's new world.
Reportedly, PG now prefers the company of RG - attending their parties and events, something he gets awed at many times. Seems like he likes their high society lives more than his old time RF in the province.
But if it was any consolation, one day, PG invited RF to Manila for dinner and catching up, and he set their date in a restaurant. RF excitedly went to the said venue and waited for PG. When they felt that PG was coming in late, they decided to order food already so they can eat while waiting for PG.
Alas, after hours of waiting, still no PG came. Turned out, PG would never really come – because he was busy socializing at a high-profile gay event with his "sosyal" gay amigas.
Meanwhile, the very disheartened RF had to dip into their pockets to pay for the dinner.

Claudine Barretto's Camp Mulls Libel Suit vs Gretchen Barretto

The camp of former TV star Claudine Barretto has threatened to sue her sister, actress Gretchen, over her supposedly libelous statements in relation to the younger Barretto's marital spat and their controversial family feud.
Speaking with ABS-CBN News' Marie Lozano on Friday, Claudine's legal counsel, Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, said Gretchen should be "held to account" for her statements about her sister in her recent media interviews.
"Ms. Gretchen Barretto has been saying so many things that are libelous. I think it's about time she's held to account. Dapat panagutin na siya sa mga sinasabi niya," the lawyer said.
Topacio said he had already recommended the legal step to Claudine when Gretchen first went on the record with her allegations. But according to the lawyer, Claudine decided against it supposedly because she was concerned with how it may affect Gretchen's daughter.
"Alam niyo, sinabi ko na 'yan kay Ms. Claudine Barretto noon pang unang-unang nagpa-interview si Ms. Gretchen Barretto na sampahan na ng kaso, because na pe-prejudice 'yung kanyang kaso rito, 'yung mind ng public.
"Ang sabi ni Ms. Claudine Barretto sa akin, huwag daw sapagkat si Ms. Gretchen Barretto raw ay nasa London kasama ang kanyang anak na si Dominique. Baka daw ma-distract 'yung pag-aaral ni Dominique dahil may kaso ang kanyang ina," said Topacio.
"But now, I think it's about time that she's held to account," he added. "Dahil baka akala ni Ms. Gretchen Barretto na she's above the law because of her stature, because of her so-called sponsor. [She thinks] she can [flout] the law at walang consequence."
"We will show her that it is otherwise."
Gretchen's long-time partner, and the father of Dominique, is businessman Antonio "Tonyboy" Cojuangco, the former chairman of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).
Asked what cases they are specifically planning to file against Gretchen, Topacio said, "Huwag muna natin i-telegraph 'yung mga punches natin. Basta we will punch."
Gretchen's testimony
Gretchen's latest statements about Claudine was on Thursday, when she appeared as a witness in court for the younger Barretto's husband, actor Raymart Santiago, in cases involving the former couple.
Claudine's petition for a protection order stems from her allegations of "physical, sexual, psychological and economic" against Santiago, which the actress detailed in an Anti-Violence against Women and Their Children (VAWC) case she filed against him in August. These alleged abuses, Claudine said, date back to 2002.
Before and after the hearing on Thursday, Gretchen granted interviews where she mentioned Claudine's alleged stint in a rehabilitation center, and her recommendation to give her sister the same treatment for her supposed condition.
Gretchen, in a published statement in October, said her sister is mentally ill and has a history of drug abuse. She said her family, at one point, had to conspire to have Claudine hospitalized for treatment.
Santiago made the same allegations in his counter-affidavit in the VAWC case, which included sworn statements from Gretchen and two other Barretto siblings, Majorie and JJ, supporting his claims.
According to Topacio, Barretto matriarch Inday was in tears over Gretchen and JJ testifying against Claudine, who is the youngest of seven siblings.
"Medyo naapektuhan ata siya sa nangyari. Ang sabi nga niya, assuming without conceding na may problema si Claudine, at kung talagang mahal mo 'yung kapatid mo, the way to show that love is not to go out in public and accuse her of so many things. E 'di lalong magkakaroon ng problema, 'yun ang sabi niya sa akin," the lawyer said.
"Umiiyak nga siya kanina, bago ako malabas sandali, nakausap namin si Mommy Inday," he added.
In her interview after the hearing on Thursday, Gretchen emphasized that she only gave her testimony in the case out of love and concern for her youngest sister.
'Distraught' Claudine
Asked when Claudine is planning to address her sister's public statements -- the court cases are under a gag order -- Topacio said, "She is quite distraught at present. Sabi ko huwag na muna. I will have to take it from here."
"She's really hurt that she was not given the chance to confront the witness against her. They are her own flesh and blood eh, so talagang masakit. Iba 'yung kalaban mo ang hindi mo kaano-ano eh, at iba 'yung kalaban mo 'yung taong minahal mo," the lawyer said.
Topacio also lamented that he was supposedly not given the opportunity to cross-examine Gretchen and JJ, who both took the witness stand on Thursday.
The lawyer explained that they had requested the Marikina RTC to move the hearing to a later date, citing his illness. Topacio said that on the day of the hearing, he was brought to the Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Muntinlupa due to diarrhea and vomiting.
"Not only was there a valid reason para mag-postpone, which is my illness, but 'yung dalawang witness na inihain nila are vital witnesses. These are important witnesses.
"At kailangan ma-cross-examine -- hindi ko sinasabi na nagsisinungaling o hindi totoo 'yung sinasabi nila -- [dahil] the most effective method of finding out whether a witness is telling the truth or not is cross-examination. At iyon ang pinagkait sa amin," he said.
Topacio's associate, Atty. Ivy Cabatingan, represented Claudine in the court hearing on Thursday. Topacio noted that Cabatingan does not usually litigate.
'What threat?'
Meanwhile, Topacio denied Gretchen's allegations that her father, Miguel, threatened to kill her, JJ and Marjorie, if they show up in court and testify against Claudine.
"There are no such threats. If she believes there are threats, she has her remedies. She has her lawyers, magagaling ang mga abogado niya. Why does she not take the corresponding legal measures to protect herself, and to prosecute those na naggawa ng threat? Madaling magsabing may threat, but to substantiate it is another matter," he said.
The lawyer added that the Barretto patriarch is set to address Gretchen's accusation sometime next week, when he returns home from a trip in Subic.
