While the post sparked immediate worry, the atmosphere at the wake of the Barretto matriarch, Estrella “Inday” Barretto, seemed to tell a story of healing. Inday passed away at the age of 89 on January 29, and her death has achieved what many thought was impossible: bringing her famous, feuding daughters together in one room.

On Sunday, Feb. 1, their brother Joaquin shared a touching photo on Instagram. In the image, Gretchen and Claudine Barretto are seen with their arms around each other as they view their mother's coffin at Heritage Park in Taguig City. Joaquin expressed his relief and joy in the caption, saying, “I love you both so much. Mom is smiling in heaven. Wish come true for Mom. Thank you Lord.”

Claudine also shared her own updates that gave fans a glimpse into the reconciliation. She posted a clip of herself laughing while chatting with Gretchen and her longtime partner, Tonyboy Cojuangco. “I missed laughing with you & Dada Tony. My sister Gretchen,” Claudine wrote. Even more surprising was a post showing Claudine sharing a lighthearted moment with her estranged sister Marjorie, signaling a potential end to years of public bickering.
