Always the one to be in the intrigued zone, Gretchen Barretto’s name is a regular on showbiz-oriented talk shows. One of the reasons you won’t missed this Sunday’s offering of The Buzz is because of her interview where she states her side on the credit card issue.

According to The Buzz interview, La Greta and friends, Ruffa Gutierrez and Pops Fernandez, Marjorie Barretto, and a non-showbiz girl had dinner at a restaurant in Dusit Hotel in Makati. The actress initiated paying the bill using her credit card, which was later declined.

What happened was she became a victim of a faulty card. “Na-magnet lang. Yun lang. Saka hindi lang naman isang beses nangyari sa akin. Pangatlong beses na, baka nagasgas sa wallet minsan.” The rumors though says that Gretchen asked the attendant to try swiping the card again, but to no avail.

She was even quoted saying to the attendant that she owns the bank. This was maybe to make the point that her card could not have been possibly declined. When asked about this, Gretchen said, “Alam mo naman ang tao, kung ano na lang ang sinasabi. Sana nga. Sana nga sa akin.”

While Gretchen was still puzzled over the card being declined, Ruffa joked and said, “Oh my God. Girl, did Tony cut your card?” Gretchen replied, “Siyempre ako, ‘Of course not’ nang ‘Of course not.’ Pero habang nag-o-of course not ako, yung puso ko naririnig ko na nag-du-dug-dug na naku nga, baka totoo nga.

Nung gabing yon, tinext ko si Tony ang sabi ko, ‘Did you cut my Visa card? Can you please tell me the truth if you cut my Visa card?’ Nahalata nila ninerbyos ako kasi yung boses ko tumataas na!” she candidly shared.Tony Boy later arrived at the hotel only to have Gretchen reportedly scold him about what happened. Gretchen refused to talk about Tony Boy’s part in the issue since she wants people to respect his privacy.
