MANILA, Philippines — Businessman RS Francisco revealed that Gretchen Barretto once bought a pearl necklace worth $1.5 million (P88 million today).
According to a Pilipino Star Ngayon report, RS said he and Gretchen went on a vacation and when Gretchen saw a pearl necklace she liked, she bought it.
“Pagbalik niya sabi niya, ‘May nakita akong magandang pearl necklace.’ Sabi ko, ‘O ngayon?’ Tinanong ko kung magkano. Sabi ba naman sakin mahal daw. Sabi ko, ‘Huh?’,” he recalled.
"The next day, pagkita namin, suot na niya. Sabi ko, 'Alam mo girl.' At that time parang 50 pa lang o 45 ‘yung dollars basta parang ganyan," he added.
