"All these years, I have kept my peace and I always chose to ignore all the lies that my sisters spread about me and my children. But nothing can get lower than this. Giving false statements to the press, and twisting stories about what really happened in my father’s wake is by far the most epic one," Marjorie wrote in an Instagram post.

"They have tried so hard over the years to destroy my name, I have nothing to lose anymore at this point. I love my family very much, they are my core. I am all for reconciliation. We were hoping for that all those 16 days that my father was fighting for his life in the hospital. It would have been nice if she made her peace in the quiet of my father's room. With no cameras. Don’t be fooled by the statements of my sisters, they are leaving out a very important detail of what really caused pain and tension in the wake," she added.

And in speaking the truth I won’t be able to leave his name out," she said, referring to Gretchen's long-time partner, businessman Antonio "Tony Boy" Cojuangco.
