Claudine Barretto says she is not Gretchen's basher

Claudine Barretto said she would rather focus on her court battle than expend energy addressing those who are "complicating" her publicized tiff with husband Raymart Santiago.

Claudine was asked to address a supposed comment made by her estranged sister, Gretchen, who said the custody of her kids should be solely entrusted to Santiago.

"No comment... Ayoko siyang patulan," a smiling Claudine said.

Over the last week, Claudine once again made headlines when Gretchen implied on image-sharing service Instagram that her younger sister is behind the hateful comments made by one "basher" on her page.

Asked Tuesday if there is any truth to this, Claudine said, "Hay naku, hindi. Hindi talaga. Alam mo, I don't really care."

She went on to give a message to those who are "interfering" with her legal battle, saying she would rather give importance to those who are supporting her.

"Ang importante naman diyan 'yung mga taong nagmamahal sa akin. Pabayaan na natin 'yung mga taong gusto manggulo kasi bored 'yan sa buhay," she said.

"Ang mas maganda na lang, magdasal tayo. Mas maganda, mag-feeding program na lang, mag-charity work, kasi kakatapos lang ng bagyo, 'di ba? Magpasalamat na lang tayo na hindi binabagyo ang mga buhay nila. Kung wala rin namang maitutulong, huwag nalang sana makikialam," Claudine said.
