"I will forever be grateful kasi there were times na when I was really down siya ang unang tumatawag, siya 'yung nagre-reach out at siya lang 'yung nakakaintindi. And siguro sa sobrang laki ng respeto at pagmamahal ko sa kanya, God used her as an instrument para magkaroon ako ng paniniwala ulit sa sarili ko, to love myself again. Kasi kung kaya kang mahalin ng isang Vilma Santos, 'yun ang pakiramdam ko, kaya ko ring mahalin ang sarili ko. So you're God's gift to so many people dito sa industriya na ito. I love you so much and thank you, because of you, my children still have a mom," Barretto added.
