"She's a star. I can make her wear a sando, something cut out like a sando, and it will look good," says fashion designer Inno Sotto about Gretchen Barretto, here seen on the cover of YES! Magazine.

si greta pala ito akala ko miyembro ng JABBAWOOKEEZ na nakamaskera11

for those who are saying that gretchen baretto is shallow... it's your opinion, it isn't a fact. if buying expensive stuff makes you shallow.. then i guess sharon cuneta who owns dozens of hermes birkin is also shallow? let us not be hypocrites here. it's her own money, wherever it came from, it's hers. if you have your own plans or suggestions on how she spends them... sorry nalang.. try niyo nalang iapply in your own lives yung suggestions niyo.. that is if you have greta's millions also

la magawa si gretchen kundi mgpapansin....kaya mga branded gamit todo display e d nman nya pinaghirapan...ah nghirap dn pla sya kay tony boy

Why can't access to my account? they said it's available in digital already, but where is it?

Those who hate Gretchen for sharing what she has, it's the press who are interested on knowing what material things she has. Sa kanila kayo mag-complain! Ang mga mayayaman na walang media mileage ay hindi makapag-brag ng kayamanan nila. Hindi yun dahil humble sila. Sa kanilang maliliit at exclusive circles lang sila nagpapayabangan, nagpapatalbugan. 'Di lang aware ang public kasi baka ma-kidnap sila!

inggit much?

ang tanging MISTRESS. masyadong conceited sa sarili na maganda sya, salamat DOK naman! haayyyy please lang, ung mga nagtatanggol sa babaeng ito lubayan nyo na mga sarili nyo kasi isa lang syang nagsusumikap maging fashoinista kuno, nagmamakaawang maging mayaman kuno, nagpapaka plastic na maganda daw sya kuno, at higit sa lahat hallucinating na isa syang asawa na may karapatan. ka-cheapan! she's an example of a person working 5 an hour and owns luxuries. masyadong TRYING HARD!

from alaska

wife?????? di ba major major mistress siya as in forever at diba ayaw siya ng mga conjuancos kasi sobra siyang mayabang. strecthed strecthed face.

Gretchen can spend her money however she wants.

Gretchen was not as rich as Tony Boy when they met but she wasn't poor either.

i am just confused with other people here. Each of us has its own right to be what we are. Gretchen is not a show off person. she certainly have the right to show what she have. And nobody can question that,whether it came from Tony boy or whoever. That's hers... So all you have to do is to enjoy what she has.. Envious people don't make anything on their lives.. Because they don't embrace the positive energy...
I always like Gretchen and Ruffa... I like the ways they handle their lives.. It may not be perfect, but they make the best out of it.
Those who comment negatively against them, or to Greta, all I can say is, you can't put a good woman down.

*** This comment has been deactivated due to inappropriate content ***

hindi kasi ipinanganak na mayaman si GB kaya gusto niyang ipangalandakan ang biyayang natamo niya galing kay Tony Boy Cojuangco. alam na namn ng tao na mayaman si Tony Boy, e bakit kailangan pa niyang ipagmayabang ang lahat? hayok lang siya sa publicity. ang genuinely rich people ay mas discreet sa pagpapakita ng kanilang kayamanan.

Imelda was once considered the most spoiled wife on earth, mainly because her husband is the President of the Philippines that time and she can have anything she wants. Same logic applies to GB, her husband is a tycoon: rich and capable of giving her wife anything that she desires. It’s easy to judge one person mainly because we are not in her position and we do not have the things that she have. Criticizing is healthy but making decisions for one person on how she must use her wealth is always a questionable act. She is a free woman; free to do the things that makes her happy; free to possess the things she wants; and free to go to places if she can afford it.It’s not her fault if it causes the envy of other people. If that is how they perceive it, there is nothing she can do about it but it’s definitely not her fault. No one knows the real reason why she does that, the so called showing off. But the main point is, she is free, it’s her choice. She is being herself. Whatever meaning she puts in her life, she

1. It’s not a crime to be rich.
2. She is just being herself not to brag things but that’s who she is Is it a crime to be herself?
3. People get affected because they wish they are Gretchen. People wish they have what Gretchen has but since they don’t, they talk.
4. It’s easy to see the negative things in a person rather than the positive ones. It doesn’t mean that when you want help the poor, you have to show you are also poor. It’s a question of what is she is; It’s easy to criticize but when you are in that exact position, I don’t think you can manage.
Gretchen does not need substance BECAUSE GRETCHEN BARRETTO IS A WOMAN OF PURPOSE.

no! gretchen made her self!

tony boy made gretchen barretto.

georgiao - for someone who has so many hate on people who has more in life you should try to read desiderata -gt; quot;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself..quot; your ideas are only a means to spawn people to hate those who have more in life the world doesn't move around you, people can't be force to buy only the things you think is best.. if you have extra cash then buy what you want don't let others buy what you want.. you said that their life doesn't demand much well you should reconsider that your here talking about them how would you feel if you were an actor and all the people around you expects a lot from you just to be entertained.. your life is not their life so you can't force any person to do what you just want.. ask but never demand..

anu ba yan dami talgang inggit kay gretchen!!!!! pati ba naman pag gastos at pag bili ng mga branded pinag diskitahan na... una, kelangan talga ng mga magagandang damit. kung mahal yung mga damit nya wala ka nang pakiaalam may pambili cya eh...pangalawa, kung sinasabi mo na parang wala cyang galing sa pagarte at puro damit lang at kung anuanu lang ang pinagbibili nya mali ka na din dun.. aba aba baka nakakalimot kana sa maalaala episode na best actress cya. anu ba yan.... ang gulo hahha

55, skittles157: One can claim that another is shallow for being happy doing the simpler things and judge them as sad and craving for attention without stopping to think that the showbiz industry demands so much to its people.
-0-0-: I understand that you are sympathetic to GB and I respect that but your comments seems to invite others to feel sorry for her. Nope. I don't feel sorry for actors responding SO MUCH demands of the showbiz industry, not when the demand is for them to maintain the pretty so people will pay attention to them. I especially don't feel sorry for actors like GB who makes money off of glossy magazine by having people with little money trade their meager resource to read about what they probably will never have.

Before judging, let's think of relevant things that the showbiz industry requires: material things that makes one look pretty in print, tv, big screen, or public appearaces; public interest. Got it. So GB buys top of the line shoes/bags/jewelry to satisfy showbiz demand 1. Now, of all ways to maintain public interest, GB publicizes her designer shoes/bags/jewelry to satisfy showbiz demand 2. continued... and keeping the public interested in you as a respectable artist shouldn't be satisfied by material things but your actual talent.

-0-0- 2 Designer things are not SIMPLE things. These things require disposable income - not a luxury that simple people have. So you can't possibly be referring to GB's act of buying or possessing these things as simple. Just looking at the facts before us, what did GB do? Used a publication to announce to the public her material possessions. This is not simple - it requires access to the media which requires societal power. I noticed you said simplER things - simpler than what? Climbing a mountain? That requires one foot in front of the other - requiring muscle and good cardiovascular health. We all have muscles. And good health is something EVERY person can attain and should aim for because your body is all you got. You don't need external power to do that - just mental power

--- A few things: 1 GB is shallow not because her happiness is doing the SIMPLER things. GB is shallow because her happiness requires being ENVIED for the material things she owns. BUT even so, happiness based on shoes/bags/jewelry is shallow by definition meaning without depth and involving no thought of her surroundings or the bigger picture. Pure satisfaction of one's self centered desire - SHALLOW.

material possessions because her happiness requires not only having said possessions but an audience to envy her because of the material things she owns. Anyone who needs be envied - and envied because of material things - is the very definition of SHALLOW. And it is sad when members of society who belong to the privileged like GB - who because of their economic power can enjoy life in ways many can't - announces to the world that of all the choices available to her, being ENVIED for her bags and shoes and jewelry is what makes her happy. Is that any clearer?

55, skittles157, I couldn't understand the overarching point of your message so I'll try them as separate thoughts.

55, skittles157: It’s so easy to scrutinize one’s actions without asserting your own biased views.
---Is this what YOU are doing? Scrutinizing my post WITHOUT asserting your bias? Or do you think this is what I am doing? Scrutinizing GB's actions WITHOUT asserting my bias? Or are you saying that my scrutinizing of GB's action is a reflection of my bias to what?and therefore not objective - a mere opinion that should not be given much weight? If it's the latter, I'd say: Examples in any analysis are merely demonstrative to illustrate a point - a point that may very well be without bias. To be clearer, examples such as climbing a mountain strength, charities altruism, a spectacular performance talent all refer back to enviable achievements and NOT examples of what makes one happy. The original point wasn't GB should take on MY list to be happy. Rather, GB publicizes her mater

bumili ka na lang kaya ng magazine. ang dami mo namang comment...

we only live once kaya make the most of it. Kung kaya nating bumili ng mga gamit na makapagpapasaya sa atin, then go ahead. kung wala naman eh di pasensiya. Mangarap na lang, tutal libre naman eh.....he,he,he...

It’s so easy to scrutinize one’s actions without asserting your own biased views. One can claim that another is shallow for being happy doing the simpler things and judge them as sad and craving for attention without stopping to think that the showbiz industry demands so much to its people. It is indeed a cliché that you cannot please everyone maybe because it is true. People are different but the psyche remains the same for most of us. The definition of happiness is subjective and I think we have to respect that. What is profound to you may be superficial to others and vice versa. If you truly want to make a difference, you don’t need to announce to the world that you are helping. Getting published does not necessarily mean you are boasting. Rather, it means you are famous enough for people to be curious of your life. Gretchen allowed the press to take a peek at her personal belongings. She is not the first person in the world to do that. The readers don’t need psychoanalysis. Don’t hate. Appreciate!

milyonaryo si tony kaya sunod ang layaw ni GB. ikaw na ang magkaroon nang husband to be na ubod nang yaman eh di magiging fashionista ka rin. what else would you do kung marami kang pera eh di gastusin and spoiled ang sarili. ganoon lang iyon.

Georgiao very well said. hindi lang matanggap ng iba ang sinasabi mo dahil truth hurts.

or shoes from Marikina! Its high time to do this Ms. GB!

Mr. Georgiao, i enjoyed reading your commentaries here. Personally, i may consider them as very substantial pointers for women to think about in this material world.
Ms. GB, grab the chance to reinvent yourself to experience what is that ultimate pleasure Mr Georgiao is talking about. You bet sooner you will start hiding while shopping! ;

Never mind the comparisons with talented filipino women all over the globe. The fact that Georgiao is giving a free counselling here is something we all have to commend. And true, He/She is a pepster i can only admire and be greatful for!

Another thing for GB! Indulge yourself seriously with
something you can contribute to the well being of women in the fashion world. Never Mind Charity! For ex: patronage Phils. Most Talented Fashion Designers in the local scene. Wear their clothes and alleviate the plight of the promising fashion designers of the Phils. creating clothes wt phil. native products and raw materials. In that sense, you promote our GDP growth, products and promote the love of own designers than Prada, Chanel, etc! Pluse, without spending so much money coming from TBC. You promote self sufficiency wt motto of : mahalin ang sariling disenyo at produkto ng ating bansa!

Wear Flipflops of fil. designers. Wear Filipino Tshirts, Jeans or shoes from Mar

Pepster Georgiao! What an amazing persona- analysis you`ve contributed here. Could you ever imagine if every filipina will have the sense of selfworth as explained here thoroughly by you???
You`re doing Ms. G. Barreto a big damn favor here. You must be her personal coach or counsellor. Just what the hell Mr. Abunda being paid for as mentor-manager by Mr. TBC after all those years?

Surely, GB can be more than how people perceived her nationwide . She can be a good fashion model, a martial art beauty, or authentic filipino designers`endorser for a good cause, etc.

Never mind the comparisons with talented filipino women all over the globe. The fact that Georgiao is giving a free counselling here is something we all have to commend. And true, He/She is a pepster i can only admire and be greatful for!

Another thing for GB! Indulge yourself seriously with

16:54 PM Gretchen and Tony are common-law husband and wife. Kung ano meron sya, bigay yon ng asawa nya, share nya sa relationship nila. Fortunate sya na yung partner nya mayaman. Wala naman syang inapakan nung naging sila kasi separated na non si Tony.

..

Korek.. natumbok mo - binigyan sya ng anak, magkasama pa rin sila after so many years and obvious naman na walang paki si Tony sa pera nya kapalit ng pagiging loyal ni Gretchen sa kanya. Inggit sila teh!!!
