This is Claudine’s first TV role this year following last year’s drama series Iisa Pa Lamang which topped NUTAM on its final episodes. She starred opposite Gabby Concepcion and Diether Ocampo.
In May Bukas Pa, Claudine will play the woman who will find Santino (played by Zaijan Jaranilla) after the boy runs away from the foster home. The show’s story is expected to become more dramatic with the addition of Claudine who is known in the industry as the Optimum Teleserye Queen.
Claudine’s role in May Bukas Pa this month is quite similar to her real life because she is very fond of children and has been an avid supporter of underprivileged kids.
Since marrying actor Raymart Santiago in 2006, we haven’t seen much of Claudine in movies and tv shows. She has chosen to devote more of her time to her family especially to her two children, four-year-old Sabina and one-and-half-year-old Santino. Her last movie was the 2006 top-grosser Sukob.
“Sa oras lang, I will not allow na mas maraming time sa trabaho ko kesa sa mga anak ko. Every little thing you do, it’s going to affect them so hindi ka lang puwede kagaya ng dati na kahit ano accept lang,” she said.
May Bukas Pa is still the no. 1 tv program nationwide based on the tv viewership survey by Taylor Nelson Sofres. Last February 19, the teleserye garnered a whopping 40.9% rating nationwide, it’s highest since its pilot episode last February 2.

Here is the official statement issued by ABS-CBN regarding the misunderstanding between its two stars:
“Marami na ang nasabi tungkol sa pagkikita nina Ms. Claudine Barretto at Ms. Angel Locsin nung July 4, 2008.
“Dahil dito, nagkaroon na ng meeting noong Miyerkyules, July 23, sa pagitan nina Claudine at Angel kasama ang ilang ABS-CBN executives na sina Ms. Malou Santos, Ms. Cory Vidanes, Mr. Roxy Liquigan, Ms. Mariole Alberto ng Star Magic, ang manager ni Angel na si Ms. Becky Aguila, si Mr. Raymart Santiago [mister ni Claudine], at ilan pang malalapit sa kanila.
“Sa naganap na pagkikita noong July 4, nagkausap sina Claudine at Angel tungkol sa ilang mga isyu na sa kasamaang palad ay napalaki at naging eksaherado base sa kuwento ng ibang kampo.
“Sa naganap na meeting, nilinaw ang mga isyung ito, kinilala at naintindihan ang nararamdaman at emosyon ng bawat isa. Naging malinaw ang lahat at nagkaroon ng kapatwaran.
“Natapos ng maganda at positibo ang meeting at naniniwala ang mga nakasaksi na ito ang magiging simula ng pagkakaibigan ng dalawa. Naniniwala ang ABS-CBN sa maayos na dayalogo at paglilinaw ng mga issues sa mga talent ng kumpanya.”

]]>It started as a blind item until Gretchen Barretto, via her interview in the press conference of Maalaala Mo Kaya, confirmed that there was indeed a “tarayan” between Angel and her younger sister Claudine. Gretchen even implied na “baka sigawan din siya ni Angel” meaning the Lobo star raised her voice to Claudine.
There are many versions of this “blind item” and another one was posted in Pinoy Entertainment Portal:
Ayon sa kuwentong nakarating sa PEP, nang minsang magpaayos si Angel sa Pin Antonio Hairdressing ay dumating si Claudine. Tinanong daw ni Claudine si Angel kung totoong umalis na siya kay Becky Aguila at ang manager niya na ay si Ms. Malou Santos, ang managing director ng Star Cinema.
Itinanggi raw ito ni Angel at tinanong si Claudine kung kanino niya nabalitaan ito. Ayon kay Claudine, nakuha niya ang impormasyong ito sa make-up artist na nag-aayos mismo sa kanya that time, si Alex. Pero muli itong itinanggi ni Angel.
Nang tanungin daw ni Angel si Alex kung kanino niya nakuha ang balita, sinabi ng make-up artista na sa ina ng child actress na si Charming Lagusad, na alaga rin ni Becky. Ayon daw sa kuwento ng ina ni Charming ay umalis na sila sa poder ni Becky at pati raw si Angel.
Nang lumabas daw si Claudine para magpahangin ay sinundan siya ni Angel, na hindi mapakali dahil sa lumalabas na balita. Nilapitan daw ni Angel si Claudine at nagpaliwanag na hindi talaga totoo ang balitang si Malou Santos na ang kanyang manager.
Dito na raw pinagsalitaan ni Claudine si Angel ng kung anu-ano. Sinabihan pa diumano ni Claudine si Angel na hindi siya ang prinsesa ng ABS-CBN kundi si Bea Alonzo.
Pagbalik daw ni Angel sa loob ng salon ay nag-iiyak na raw ito at pinagbalingan ng galit si Alex. Nagtaas na raw ng boses si Angel at dinuro niya si Alex at sinipa ang isang silya.
Ayon naman sa isa pang kuwento, si Angel daw ang kumumpronta kay Claudine dahil ang pinakabata sa Barretto sisters daw ang nagpakalat sa balitang kaya sunud-sunod ang magagandang projects ng dating Kapuso star sa ABS-CBN ay dahil hawak na siya ng isang top executive ng Kapamilya network, na ang tinutukoy ay ang managing director ng Star Cinema.
This time, Star Cinema head Malou Santos was now included in the picture. Based from the above-mentioned story, Claudine pushed Angel Locsin’s buttons by asking her if the rumor that she’s no longer managed by Becky Aguila is true. The Lobo star allegedly denied the rumor but could not contain herself, so she confronted the Soap Opera queen and that’s when the “tarayan” started.
Last July 15, Tuesday, Angel Locsin’s camp talked with the executives of ABS-CBN and Star Cinema. Aside from Angel and her manager Becky Aguila, they also brought with them Angel’s sister “Ella” and one employee of Pin Antonio’s salon as witnesses.
“Beng was there, and base sa kuwento niya, walang sigawang nangyari and both were very professional habang nag-uusap. Nilinaw rin ni Beng na wala naman siyang nakitang sinipa ni Angel ang silya at hindi rin dinuro si Alex,†Becky Aguila narrated.
She clarified that Angel did not kick the chair nor pointed a finger to makeup artist named Alex. The young actress just told him in a civil manner, “Kuya, kung hindi ka sigurado, sabihin mo, kasi pagmumulan ito ng issue.â€
Becky explained that they did not react to the news right after Gretchen Barretto spilled the beans out of respect to the management of ABS-CBN.
Becky added, “I guess it was an unfortunate incident, a small misunderstanding blown out of proportion and walang may gusto ng nangyari. Ayaw din ni Angel ng may kaaway, lalo pa nga si Claudine dahil idol niya ito.”
Angel’s camp is hoping that the two kapamilya stars in the issue could talk and settle the dispute caused by some misunderstanding.
ABS-CBN is silent between the rumored rift between Claudine Barretto and Angel Locsin until Gretchen Barretto spilled the beans during the presscon of Maalaala Mo Kaya.
Rumor has it that the two stars met in the beauty salon of Pin Antonio. Angel Locsin allegedly told Claudine Barretto “Huwag kang ma-insecure ha,” pertaining to the Folded and Hung endorsement where Angel replaced Claudine as their image model.
Claudine, on the other hand, reportedly told the Lobo star – “Hindi ikaw ang prinsesa sa ABS, si Bea (Alonzo).â€
There were witnesses during the “tarayan” between the two stars and there were also different versions of the story.
This is not the first time that an issue came out involving Claudine and Angel. The first one was last year when Claudine allegedly snubbed Angel Locsin inside the dressing room of ASAP.
Apparently, the management is currently working to settle the dispute between the two stars.
]]>Apparently, Claudine and Angel had a confrontation in a salon wherein the Lobo star told the Soap Opera Queen not to get “insecure” with her.
Although she only heard the side of Claudine, Gretchen said to the reporters:
“Pinagtrabahuhan niya kung ano siya at kung anong meron siya. Kaya sana huwag husgahan ng iba or sasabihin na nagmamalaki siya dahil Claudine is Claudine. Naawa ako sa kapatid ko, siyempre. Kasi para ma-accuse si Claudine, siyempre naawa ako sa kanya. Pero alam ko naman kaya ni Claudine ‘yon. Sabi ko, that’s part of being Claudine Barretto and having the fame and special treatment that you have in ABS-CBN. Kasi siyempre, matagal na siyang nandito sa ABS kaya nabibigyan siya ng special attention.”
