All’s well that ends well.
This seems to be the case between Claudine Barretto and Mon Tulfo two years after they figured an altercation at the NinoyAquinoInternationalAirport which left them bruised.
Barretto confirmed she and Tulfo already talked and both of them asked for each other’s forgiveness.
“Actually nagkausap na kami ni Kuya Mon noong una pa lang. Sinabi ni Kuya Mon sa akin na hindi naman daw siya galit sa akin. Humingi rin ng pasensya at ako rin ganun sa kanya,” she said.
Tulfo, on the other hand, said he has long forgiven Barretto. He said, however, that it would have been more appropriate if it was Barretto’s estranged husband, actor Raymart Santiago, who reached out to him.
“Matagal ko na siyang pinatawad. Dapat unawain mo ang babae. Meron pang diperensya sa pag-iisip. Dapat nga diyan kaawaan at unawain,” he said.
“Wala na [yung mga kaso]. Hindi na ako nag-aattend ng mga hearing. Pinatawad ko na sila lahat. Pangalawa, wala akong tiwala sa hustisya natin. I would appreciate it kung si Raymart ang humingi ng tawad sa akin bilang lalaki,” he added.
Meanwhile, Tulfo also commented on the picture shared by Barretto on Instagram last Thursday where she is seen with his brother, Raffy.
“Natawa ako kasi kilalang-kilala ko si Raffy. Yung tawa niya, yung ngiti niya parang nakakaloko. Sinakyan-sakyan lang niya si Claudine,” she said.
According to Raffy, it was his friend Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, who is Barretto’s lawyer, who made their meeting possible.
“Si Atty. Ferdie Topacio ay best friend ko. Sinabihan niya ako if it’s okay na isasama niya si Claudine sa isang meeting namin. ‘Maganda siguro kung magkabati kayo.’ Sabi ko oo nga, siguro. Nagkaroon kami ng pag-uusap. Of course dahil nag-reach out siya sa akin at nag-sorry, yun nagkapatawaran, okay na,” he said.
As for Barretto, she said, “I don’t know how it started, na parang humingi kami ng pasensya sa isa’t isa kung nasaktan man namin ang pamilya ng isa’t isa. Hindi naman importante kung sino ang unang nagsabi. What’s important is napakamabuting tao pala niya.” (MNS)
