The Barretto family patriarch passed away last Tuesday, October 15, at the age of 82.
On her Instagram post, Marjorie called out her sisters (Claudine and Gretchen Barretto) giving false statements to the press.
“All these years, I have kept my peace and I always chose to ignore all the LIES that my sisters spread about me and my children. But nothing can get lower than this,” Marjorie said.

“Giving false statements to the press, and twisting stories about what really happened in my Father’s wake is by far the most epic one. They have tried so hard over the years to destroy my name, I have nothing to lose anymore at this point. I love my family very much, they are my core. I am all for reconciliation,” she added.
She said that they were hoping that for the 16 days that her father was confined and fighting for his life in the hospital, “it would have been nice if she made her peace in the quiet of my father’s room. With no cameras,” referring to Gretchen, who visited the wake last Wednesday while President Duterte and other politicians were also present to pay their last respects to Barretto patriarch.

“Don’t be fooled by the statements of my sisters, they are leaving out a very important detail of what really caused pain and tension in the wake,” Marjorie added.
She asked her followers to let the family be and give them space to grieve. She indicated that it’s the last day of her father’s wake.

Don’t be fooled by the statements of my sisters, they are leaving out a very important detail of what really caused pain and tension in the wake.May I request everyone to allow our family to grieve, it’s our last day with our Father today. Please hold your judgement and opinions until he is laid to rest,then WE WILL FOR THE FIRST TIME SPEAK THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. I would like to ask for prayers too. Because when I speak the truth, my life and my children’s life will be put in danger. My sisters boyfriend is powerful in a very bad way( and I don’t mean Tony Boy)And in speaking the truth I won’t be able to leave his name out. And to our dear President Duterte, thank you for being there for the family and sharing in our grief. My apologies that your name was dragged into this. You were so kind to me. I will always be grateful.”
