On the other side of the story, Claudine Barretto, Raymart's wife said that it is not true that she was cursing the airport staff. She said she was merely complaining because their bags were left in Caticlan Airport and she needed the medicines of her son.
Claudine continued that a friend alerted Raymart that somebody was taking a video of her (Mon Tulfo) so Raymart approached the journalist and asked what he was doing. Mon, according to Claudine replied, "Anong pakialam mo?" then Mon allegedly punched Raymart.
According to Claudine, Mon Tulfo also kicked her twice when she confronted him about why he punched her husband. Claudine is now appealing to airport authorities to release their CCTV because only the footage can say who really started the brawl. Meanwhile, the couple are considering filing charges against Mon Tulfo.
