In spite of her feud with older sisters Gretchen and Marjorie Barretto, Claudine Barretto remains hopeful that they would remember the good things she has done for them. The actress candidly talked about her family at length at a dinner she prepared for select members of the media on October 17.

“Ipinagdarasal ko na lang na sana, kahit papaano, matandaan naman nila yung mga magagandang nagawa ko sa buhay nila. Na sana, kung ano man [ang] lies ng enemy, hindi sila makinig. Sana matandaan lang nila… maalala lang nila na nung panahong kinakailangan nila ako, nandun ako para sa kanila. Hindi ko sila nilaglag, binitawan… at lalung-lalo nang hindi ko tinamaan ang mga anak nila (I just pray that they would at least remember all the good things I’ve done for them, that they would not listen to the lies of the enemy. I hope they would remember the times when I was there for them when they needed me. I did not abandon them nor did I hurt their children),” the actress was quoted by PEP.ph as saying.

Although Claudine doesn't see herself reconciling with her sisters in the near future, she hopes that she could once again spend time with her nephew and nieces.

“Lahat sila nami-miss ko. Wala naman ako yung ito ang pinaka-miss ko. Wala naman akong favorites...” Claudine said. “Mga anak ni Marj. Siyempre, si Julia, Claui, si Dani, si Leon. And si Dominique [Gretchen's daughter] din... sobrang nami-miss ko sila (I miss all of them. I couldn’t say there’s someone I miss the most. I don’t play favorites... Marj’s children--Julia, Claui, Dani, and Leon--and Dominique, too… I miss them so much.).”
