MANILA, Philippines – Is it true that businessman Antonio “Tonyboy” Cojuangco is threatened by long-time partner Gretchen Barretto’s upcoming television series on ABS-CBN?
According to Barretto, it looks like that is the case.
"Tinanong niya sa akin, 'How much are you going to earn?' Noong sinabi ko sa kanya aba nagulat siya. Sabi niya baka naman daw yumabang ako at hindi ko na siya kailanganin. Ang sabi ko, 'Hindi. Kailangan pa din kita,'” Barretto, also known as La Greta, said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
Barretto quickly clarified that Cojuangco is excited for her. “Alam niyang matagal ko ng hinihintay itong teleseryeng ito. Matagal ko ng hinihintay na magtrabaho.”
She said Cojuangco even gave her an advice.
"Save your money. 'Yon ang kanyang payo sa akin and to pay my taxes daw. Sabi ko, ‘Can you pay for my taxes and I keep my money,’" La Greta said in jest.
Barretto, an exclusive ABS-CBN artist, is set to star in a new soap opera, with working title “Till My Heartaches End,” alongside Bea Alonzo and Derek Ramsay.
It is Barretto’s first television series and first project with Alonzo, Ramsay and actress Maja Salvador.
Expensive gift
Meanwhile, La Greta showed off her newest luxury car, a Jaguar, which is a gift from Cojuangco for their 16th anniversary.
"Pinayagan na akong mag-drive at may lisensiya na ako. Sports car dahil alam niya gusto kong mag-drive. It's liberating dahil gustong gusto kong mag-drive. Feeling ko hindi na ako bata, dalaga na," she said.
As long as her nanny and their family driver are with her, she can drive the Jaguar, Barretto added.
For her birthday on March 6, the actress said she is wishing for a new vehicle.
"Hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang gusto ko. Four-wheel drive, Range Rover or Land Rover," La Greta said.
