Claudine Barretto talks about upcoming movie, Raymart Santiago, and niece Julia
'After 5 years, malaking bagay kasi ‘yun eh. Talagang na-boost ‘yung self-esteem at self-confidence ko,' says Claudine of her movie comeback

MANILA, Philippines – After her successful comeback movie, Etiquette for Mistresses, Claudine Barretto is gearing up for another film under Star Cinema and Viva Films titled Pinilit Kong Limutin Ka.  

In an interview at the book signing of the reprinted version of Julie Yap Daza’s novel Etiquette for Mistresses, Sunday, October 11, Claudine shared that she is extremely happy to be back to work on screen. She thanked her fans for their continuous support even after her showbiz hiatus.

Sobrang thankful talaga ako. Up to this day nao-overwhelm ako sa sobrang daming magagandang reviews [for Etiquette]. At saka ‘yung pagmamahal talaga ng mga tao hindi lang ng Claudinians, kundi ng maraming tao para sa akin,” she said.

(I’m so thankful. Up to this day, I still feel overwhelmed by so many beautiful reviews [for Etiquette]. And the love of the people not only the Claudinians, but others, too.)

“After 5 years, malaking bagay kasi ‘yun eh. Talagang na-boost ‘yung self-esteem at self-confidence ko. Ngayon na-feel ko na, ‘Ay mahal pa pala ako dito sa industriya.’”

(After 5 years, this is big for me. It boosted my self-esteem and self-confidence. Now, I feel ‘Oh, they still love me in the industry.’)

Although the actress refused to reveal further details about the cast, she said that that it will be a good follow up project to Etiquette.

“Confidential pa ‘yung leading man pero naka-trabaho ko na [before],” she hinted.

(My leading man is still confidential but I’ve worked with him before.)

“Para maka-trabaho ko ulit si Direk Wenn [Deramas], parang binibigay talaga sakin ni God, saka ng Star Cinema at Viva ‘yung komportable ako makatrabaho hindi ‘yung nangangapa pa ako.” (To work with Direk Wenn, it’s like God is giving me, as well as Star Cinema and Viva, people I’m comfortable working with, so I won’t have to flail or adjust.)  

On Raymart Santiago

The Kapamilya star said that she and Raymart are now on better terms. She explained that they have decided against talking about their relationship in public, adding that they wanted to focus on the well-being of their children.

Kung wala naman kaming magandang masasabi tungkol sa isa’t isa, ngayon ha, ‘yung ugali namin ngayon, pagsasama namin ngayon, eh quiet na lang. Basta ang alam ko solid kami sa mga bata.” (If we have nothing nice to say about each other, our attitude towards it is we’re just quiet about it. What’s important is we’re solid with our kids.)

“‘Yung mag court hearings, sana matapos na ‘yan. Pero wala eh, hindi naman sa akin lahat, kailangan din sila gumalaw,” she said.

(I hope the court hearings will finish soon. But unfortunately, that’s not the case, it’s not with me always, they also have to move.)

On Dennis Padilla and Julia Baretto

After 3 years, Claudine will be spending Christmas with Marjorie and her children again. The actress shared that they are all excited to catch up over the holidays.

Amidst all the reconciliation, Julia’s conflict with her father Dennis Padilla has yet to be resolved. When Claudine was asked about Dennis’ decision to withdraw his petition to stop Julia from changing her family name from Baldivia to Barretto, the actress admitted that she was not privy to all the details of the story.

Hindi ko alam kasi ‘di ko nabasa, ‘di ko napanood kung anong eksaktong sinabi [ni Dennis]. Kung anong nangyari ‘di ko naiintindihan. ‘Di ko alam ‘yun eh,” she explained.

(I’m not aware of it because I’ve nto read about it, I have not watched what he [Dennis] said. What’s happening, I really cannot understand it,so I’m not privy to it.)

In the end, Claudine shared that what happened was probably for the best. This way, she said that the issue would finally be put to rest.

Siguro nga mas magandang desisyon ‘yun, para tahimik na lang. Kasi at the end of the day, si Julia lagi nilang tinitira eh. Sobra na rin naman. Okay na ‘yun. Tigil na lang.” (I guess the best decision is for them to be quiet. Because at the end of the day, it’s Julia who get’s criticized. It’s too much. It’s okay already. That’s enough.)

Claudine added that they should give Julia their full support as a family.

Kailangan siguro tulungan kami kay Julia, kung ano yung mga proble-problema. ‘Wag sanang magyari sa generation nila Julia yung nangyari sa generation namin,” she said. (I guess all of us need to help Julia with whatever problem she has. I’m hoping that what happened to my generation will not happen to her generation.)

“I’m hoping na, alam mo yun, kung mahal talaga natin si Julia, let’s lift her up. ‘Wag natin syang i-down, ‘di ba?” (I’m hoping that you know, if we all love Julia, let’s lift her up. Let’s not bring her down, right?) – Rappler.com
