That’s all I have to say,” Marjorie told ABS-CBN News’ Karen Davila, when asked to clarify her relationship with him.</p><p>Marjorie was referring to 7-year-old Erich, who, until February 2018, had been absent from public photos of the Barretto clan.</p><p>When told that her revelation will draw criticism, given that Echiverri is a married man, Marjorie gestured she is well aware of that.</p><p>“Alam mo, hindi ako perfect. I’m very strong in many ways, pero sa pag-ibig talaga, mahina ako. I’m sorry, I’m not very proud of it. That is the reason why I was not announcing to the public,” she said.</p><p>Throughout her showbiz career, Marjorie had been open about her relationships; that is, prior to being involved with Echiverri. She has one daughter, Dani, with former actor Kier Legaspi, and has three — Julia, Claudia, and Leon — with comedian Dennis Padilla.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media"

Claudine and Gretchen, who had also been estranged for a time, reconciled in March.</p><p>According to Marjorie, Gretchen had been threatening her and Echiverri with a molestation case since March this year.</p><p>“That’s Gretchen’s favorite word. She said my father molested her when she was young, and then now she is saying that even my children, who are perfectly okay in their lives, sasabihin niya namolestiya. I don’t know what fantasy that is,” Marjorie said.</p><p>Shedding light on Claudine’s ties with Echiverri, Marjorie recalled that early this year, Claudine sought financial help from the former mayor.</p><p>“I was against it, because we were really not in good terms with Claudine. I said, ‘Delikado to associate with her.’ She’s unstable. I will not say more. But he said, ‘Pag hindi naman natin tinulungan, baka sa iba humingi ng tulong at mapahamak,’” she said.</p><p>“With a heavy heart, I let him. Tinulungan niya si Claudine. To our surprise, we never thought it was a setup. It was intended to hurt me, harm me, and destroy his person, when all along, all he really wanted to do was to help her,” Marjorie narrated.</p><p>Marjorie did not give further details on Claudine’s financial need, nor the aid Echiverri had supposedly given her.</p><p>Referring to Gretchen and Claudine’s planned “molestation” complaint, Marjorie said: “I think Mayor Echiverri is perfectly capable — he is a lawyer also — to handle that.”</p>
