VIGNETTES

IT was in the early '90s when I developed a fleeting bond with Marjorie Barretto. It was AiAi de las Alas (during her happier times with singer Miguel Vera) who had taken me into their small circle of friends, including Dennis Padilla, then Marjorie's boyfriend.

I had personally known Dennis even way before he joined showbiz. His ex-girlfriend from Marikina at that time is my younger sister's close friend to this day.

‘If a guy leaves you, shame on him. But if you take him back, shame on you,’ is Marjorie Barretto’s golden rule. INSTAGRAM PHOTO/MARJBARRETTO
