It's a huge honor for actress Claudine Barretto to be Gretchen Barretto's sister.
She said so herself, after the latter made headlines donating an ambulance to the Victor Potenciano Medical Hospital through her "Love Is Essential" project.
"No matter how busy u are u Always Prioritize Helping Others. you my Ate are the QUEEN OF PEOPLES HEARTS," Claudine said.
On Instagram, Gretchen proudly flaunted the vehicle via a video post.
“Hi, I’m happy to announce that on February 24, (I’ll be) granting the wish of Victor Potenciano Hospital, VRP yun, sa Mandaluyong, EDSA," she said.
“It’s going to be their 49th year, so I will be launching my first ever 'Love Is Essential' ambulance and that is my 49th-anniversary present," she added. “And that is the wish that I’m granting them. And also, to the frontliners of VRP, on that day, we will be granting (1042) frontliners."
“So, since its February, and I said it’s a month of love, let’s all spread love. So, mine is on Thursday, Ferbuary 24.”
Gretchen has been giving out grocery boxes and sacks of rice to frontliners and colleagues in showbiz, among others, since the pandemic started.
