Gretchen Barretto accuses Marjorie for father's hospitalization

Gretchen Barretto on Sunday accused her sister Marjorie for causing their father, Miguel's heart attack that led to his death. 

“Marjorie did not invite my mom to the gathering and that’s what caused my dad’s attack,” Gretchen said on Instagram, replying to a follower who said her mom Inday was not present in the photos of the Barretto patriarch's 82nd birthday party.

Miguel died last October 15, two weeks after the said celebration.

Marjorie posted photos of the party on Instagram last Oct. 6 and the Barretto matriarch was absent in all of them.

Exactly one week ago today, we were celebrating my Dad’s 82nd birthday over lunch in my house. Right after the blowing of the candles on his cake, he took a nap and fell very ill. My siblings and I rushed him to the nearest hospital, i could say it say it was the scariest time for us all. After that day, its been a series of ambulance transfer, family meetings, non stop praying, and big family gatherings at the ICU waiting area. All throughout this ordeal, a lot of love and support has been shown to us, most especially to our wonderful Dad.Im just feeling sad today, realizing its been a week, and I guess we are all emotionally and physically tired, but our faith, hope and unity as a family is stronger than ever. May I kindly ask for more prayers for our Dad. That he gets better soon. And that God willing, we get to spend more birthdays with him????????????

Gretchen, who had been estranged from her family for years, attended Miguel's wake last October 16. President Rodrigo Duterte was also present and had allegedly asked Gretchen to make amends with her sister Marjorie. 

Marjorie refused to do so and the sisters soon took their battles to social media.

Later on, businessman Atong Ang was also dragged into the mess. On Monday, he clarified his relations with the sisters Gretchen and Claudine and their niece Nicole. — Ma. Angelica Garcia/BAP, GMA News
