Claudine Barretto posted a video on her Instagram of herself weeping in front of her late boyfriend Rico Yan’s tombstone last Wednesday, October 23, 2019.
The video was presumably taken a week before Miguel Barretto passed away. Claudine asked Rico to help her in taking care of her father who at the time was still in critical condition at the hospital.
In the video, Claudine said, “I’m so scared Rico, I’m scared to lose my dad. It’s not going to be the same anymore.” Many noticed that the video even had background music, specifically “Kahit Isang Saglit.”
This made netizens question the 40-year-old actress if this whole video was scripted.

Meanwhile, Claudine’s estranged sister Marjorie Barretto has earned the trust of netizens
Here’s what Majorie discussed about Claudine during the tell-all interview with Karen Davila:
“Some time before March, Claudine asked financial help from Recom, I was against it because we were really not in good terms with Claudine, I said delikado to associate with her, she’s unstable. But with a heavy heart, I let him. To our surprise, we never thought it was a set-up. It was intended to hurt me harmly and destroy his persons, when all along was to help her.”
