Gretchen Barretto finally breaks her silence

Friday, July 27, 2007 - Gretchen Barretto has broken her silence, kept since her kissing scandal with John Estrada early June of this year. Except for text messages to close friends, to update them about her and longtime partner Tonyboy Cojuangco's condition, she has not given any interview.

But in an intimate birthday dinner for talent manager Douglas Quijano last Wednesday night, July 25, hosted by Richard Gomez and Lucy Torres-Gomez at their East Greenhills home, she agreed to be interviewed on cam by Startalk reporter Gorgy Rula. PEP also joined in.

According to Gretchen, she accompanied Tonyboy to Boston for his operation and never left his side the full time. She thanked her fans for being supportive of her and asked them to take the good with the bad as life is not perfect. She reiterated that with her what they see is what they get. She always thanked Tonyboy for his unconditional love and their daughter for her understanding.

But she failed to answer questions regarding her relationship with John Estrada.
