Actress-socialite Gretchen Barretto revealed the reason why she decided to send out gifts to numerous showbiz personalities and media friends.
Recently, Barretto started to distribute ‘love boxes’ to media groups, reporters, columnists, journalists, showbiz personalities, and other members of the entertainment industry. Those with children received extra packages.
During the September 21 episode of Take It Per Minute–Lolit Solis, Cristy Fermin, and Mr. Fu discussed the generosity of Barretto.
Accordingly, the star has already spent millions of pesos on these ‘love boxes’ since these contained imported goods.
She also sponsored sacks of rice and wheelchairs that will be given away weekly via the raffle draw of Take It Per Minute.
However, her act got questioned as some people thought that she has an ulterior motive in doing so. They speculate that Gretchen is planning to enter politics.
With this, Gretchen once and for all, she cleared out that her motive in sharing these goods with different people is nothing but to spread kindness.
According to the article in Pilipino Star Ngayon, Gretchen said, “Yes ang motibo is to be kind. Hindi lahat ng nagbibigay may motibo. It is our duty to spread love and kindness at this time of pandemic.”
Some of the personalities who have received a ‘love box’ from Gretchen are Sharon Cuneta, Ellen Adarna, Derek Ramsey, Vilma Santos, Liz Uy, Pauleen Luna, Luigi Muhlach, Gladys Reyes, Candy Pangilinan, Nadine Samonte, Roderick Paulate, Anne Curtis, Lolit Solis, Jolina Magdangal, and RJ Ledesma.
LionhearTV also received a ‘love box’ from Gretchen.
Gretchen is not only sending ‘love boxes’ to fellow celebrities or personalities, even ordinary citizens also received ‘ayuda’ from her.
