And now even your daughter openly disrespects me. Teach your daughter manners and values.
“Are you trying to insinuate or are you being very MALICIOUS again of my being close to my lawyer? Refrain from putting MALICE & QUESTIONING my relationship with my lawyer or anyone,” she said.
The 34-year-old Claudine continued, “You are right Atty. Ferdinand Topacio IS NOT A BARRETTO or part of the family. But let me remind you so is RECOM ECHIVERRI one who has a family of his own and children of his own. Never will he be a part of our family NOR WILL YOU EVER BE A PART.”
