Claudine Barretto, Baon na nga ba sa Utang sa mga Pacquiao? Jinkee, Nagsalita na!

These past few months, rumors are flying about Claudine Barretto's financial situation. According to some showbiz insiders, the former Kapamilya actress is no longer thriving with her finances. In fact, according to them, Claudine is in dire need of cash, which prompted her to borrow money from her friend Jinkee Pacquiao.

For a long time, these rumors were neither denied nor confirmed by Claudine. As you may well know, Claudine and Jinkee are tight-knit friends, that's why many people did not question the rumors that she borrowed money from Jinkee. Some even claimed that they ventured into a failed business together.

During an Instagram live earlier this week, Claudine finally settled the matter once and for all by denying the allegations. According to the former Kapamilya actress, there's no truth behind the rumors, and she never had to borrow money from Jinkee even once:

"Lately, may mga lumalabas na baon baon daw ako sa utang kay Jinkee Pacquiao at saka lumalabas rin, meron kaming business or transaction or trabaho na pinasukan na hindi nagprosper, parang ganyan. So kaklaruhin ko ngayon pa lang, wala po akong kahit na anong utang kahit kanino. Kahit kay Miss Jinkee Pacquiao na kumare ko."

On the other hand, Jinkee Pacquiao also stepped forward to clear the matter. She commented on Claudine's Instagram live, confirming her friend's statement and denying that they ever ventured into a business together. According to Jinkee, she's blessed to have Claudine as her 'kumare.'

"Mare ipaalam ko lang sa kanila na wala kang utang sa akin. At wala din tayong business. Masaya ako na friends tayo at kumare kita. I love u mare!"
