Marjorie said that President Rodrigo Duterte initiated her reconciliation with her sister Gretchen when Claudine supposedly made a scene after she refused.
Marjorie said: “Claudine says, ‘You’re unbelievable!’ Tumingin ako — bunsong kapatid. Diyan nag-start ‘yung bastusan, actually. And then she followed with, ‘How dare you! You just want the attention!’”
“I said, ‘Mr. President, tingnan niyo po ‘to. Ito po ‘yung totoong pagkatao nila. Nagbabait-baitan lang po sila sa harapan ninyo. I hope you understand,” Marjorie added.
Marjorie then claimed that it was Gretchen who had a nervous breakdown and not her, saying: “I wasn’t the one with nervous breakdown. I was sitting quietly with the President on the left side of the chapel, exchanging pleasantries… We ended well, habang si Gretchen nakikipagbugbugan doon. Para klaro sa lahat. Siya ang gumawa ng gulo. Hindi ako. I respect my father.”
Marjorie then clarified that she was for reconciliation but said that she did not see Gretchen’s sincerity.
“Kung pumunta siya sa ospital, sa tatay ko, habang buhay, walang Presidente, walang kamera, walang lahat, ako ang unang yayakap sa kaniya. I would have hugged her. I would have led her to my father, and I swear that on my children’s lives.
“I am for reconciliation, just not an orchestrated one,” said Marjorie.
