Gretchen Barretto Admires Angelica Panganiban For Accepting Her Fault

It wasn’t a secret that Gretchen Barretto and Angelica Panganiban had a much tensed rift. Why? Angelica–being the girlfriend of Derek Ramsay who plays Gretchen Barretto’s leading man in the hit teleserye Magkaribal—disapproved of Gretchen’s closeness with Derek. Even though the issue remained sort of a taboo, it hadn’t escaped the ridicule of the masses.  Both parties involved kept quiet about the issue.

Nevertheless, there was a twist to every story. Unexpectedly, Last Sunday on The Buzz, Angelica apologized to  Barretto, and even hopes to build a friendship with her.

 In return, Gretchen happily accepted  her apology:

“I’m very, very happy. I consider this a blessing. I respect Angelica more now simply because iba ‘yung matapang ka lang fighting for your right, iba naman ‘yung you can own up to your reactions or admit na, ‘Oops! Nagkamali ako.’ I see the real beauty of Angelica, not just physically but I see the strength of her character. I love her with all my heart.”

She says that she is so willing to be Angelica’s friend. Barretto also claimed that Derek Ramsay had a big part in resolving her conflict with Angelica. She thanked Derek genuinely for putting a great effort in patching up things between her and Angelica. She also showed gratitude for the people—hers and Angelica’s common friends—who helped them, iron out the misunderstanding.

Gretchen expresses that she is so excited and looking forward to meet Angelica in person.
