Actor Raymart Santiago on Tuesday denied committing any abuse against his estranged wife, actress Claudine Barretto, who has accused him of causing her “all kinds of stress” since 2005.
Barretto, 34, on Monday filed a petition before the Marikina Regional Trial Court for temporary protection order (TPO) against Santiago that would prevent the actor from getting within 300 meters of her and their children Sabina, 9, and Santino, 6.
“I never spoke of what’s really happening within our family to anyone, but I’ve decided to break my silence now because of the derogatory remarks I’ve received [from Barretto]. I’m doing this for the sake of our children,” Santiago said in Filipino via a statement sent to the Inquirer.
“It is not true that I’ve abused the mother of my kids in any way. As a father, I will never do anything that would harm my kids. I’ve never lifted a hand against any of them.”
The 40-year-old actor added that people who know him well could prove what kind of a father he is.
“These people could also prove that [Barretto] is capable of making up stories,” he pointed out. “Again, I strongly deny her accusations. The truth will come out eventually. I will answer all accusations in court at the proper time.”
Santiago and Barretto tied the knot on March 27, 2006. The rumor that the couple has broken up began circulating in 2011, after Barretto was seen on a TV report breaking down in tears in a bank after being told that the money she was about to withdraw had been withdrawn earlier by another party—presumably her husband with whom she shared the account. The couple denied the split.
Santiago and Barretto got involved in another controversy in May 2012, when the couple, along with some companions, allegedly ganged up on veteran journalist Ramon Tulfo at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. They filed a physical injury complaint against the Inquirer columnist.
Santiago was last seen in the recently concluded afternoon drama series “Home Sweet Home” on GMA 7. Barretto’s last project with the Kapuso network was the primetime series “Iglot” that aired in 2011.
Raymart better be prepared for a nasty court and media battle. He should have anticipated that this would happen since Claudine posted that bruised face on IG.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell maniniwala pa kay klaw klaw??? Meron pa ba aside from her Mommy?
ReplyDeleteyup...scroll down to see comments from her loyal fans devoid of any logic.
Deleteang nakakahiya pa kay klaw klaw dito..pag natalo sya kay Raymart, lalabas na TAMA din si Gretchen...hohohohoho..
ReplyDeleteShe abused me. - raymart
ReplyDeletefirst to comment
I will not stand for any abuse against women but I have to admit that I am more on Raymart's side in this issue. After all the stories on Claudine from her first love, second love and now, her family issues, her network issues, her fights against best friends, I find no credibility in her whatsoever. I wish these lawyers of our female showbiz stars would stop suggesting "temporary protection orders" to their clients. Sure, these lawyers make a lot of money and their clients try to get public sympathy. But these stories seems to mock the real issues of real battered women, real victims who are defenseless to protect themselves. We are making a mockery of the law protecting women from abuse.
ReplyDeleteagree ako sa lahat ng sinabi mo.
Deletei agree with you.
Deletegood point!
Deleteand not only that. sa instagram at sa youtube, wala siyang (claudine) ini-insinuate na sinasaktan siya. tignan nyo sa youtube yung video na birthday ni sabina at siya pa mismo ang nag sabing ininvite niya si raymart pero hindi ito dumalo. kung ikaw yung babaeng sinasaktan ng asawa mo, iimbitahin mo pa ba ang taong nananakit sa yo sa birthday ng anak mo? why all of a sudden nag sasabi si claudine na sinasaktan siya? hindi naman ata kapani paniwala yon.
DeleteI find Claudines statements inconsistent. If she's been abused since 2005, why marry the man who hurt you in a lavish Tagaytay wedding? Seriously Clau, you need to seek professional mental help. I feel for Raymart, he must feel soo betrayed.
ReplyDeletekelan ba kasi nila aaminin na bipolar si Cloud? enabler kasi ang nanay kaya imbes na gumaling lalong lumalala. Kung mahal nila anak nila, dapat pinapagamot at hindi kinukunsinti.
ReplyDeleteopinion ng isang blogger na nabasa ko, histrionic si claudine. possible nga kasi noong tinignan ko sa wikipedia, majority ng manifestations ng isang histrionic na kay claudine. nakaka awa pero nakakatakot din. and i agree, enabler yang si inday barretto na yan!
Delete@9:28pm parang lahat naman sa pamilya nila may ganyang disorder.
DeleteI'd go for Raymart. He seems to be a loyal, sincere and protective husband.
ReplyDeleteraymart, sana unawain mo na lang si claudine. mahabang pang unawa. kung sino marunong umintindi sya ang iintindi di ba? mahirap pero dapat. pamilya kyo.tulungan mo sana asawa mo at kailangan ka nya ngayon. sa hirap lalo na di lang sa ginhawa. oo may pinagdadaanan ka rin pero tatagan mo loob mo. walang sawang pagkakataon ang idulot mo sa kanya at pagpapakumbaba. magbabago yang si claudine. maawa ka sa kanya
ReplyDeleteAmen. Your words are so inspiring makaka relate ang mag asawang may pinagdadaanan not only klaw klaw and raymart.
DeleteMommy inday kaw ba yan?
Delete8 years na syang umuunawa. Yung inuunawaan naman namumuro na. Nakakapagod kaya!
DeleteYong nakapagtataka lang bakit may media noong nag file si Claudine yong ibang artista umiiwas sa mga media pag may mga ganitong kaso pero siya seconds pa lang alam na ng taong bayan, kaya tuliy kaduda duda tulad din noong nawala daw pera niya and uong pang aaway niya kay Angelica, kaya hindi maiwasa na parang stage lahat eh.
ReplyDeletepara sa akin, my tendency din na nagsasabi ng totoo si raymart, alam mo naman, best actress si cluadine. kinukuha niya ang simpatiya ng mga tao. wala ng naniniwala sa kanya.
ReplyDeleteHow can Raymart abuse Claudine when he left their home last year pa. Hindi kasi makapag move on itong si Claudine! Self inflicted lang talaga ang mga bruises na iyan!
ReplyDeleteyun din yung sabi nung isang friend ni raymart, matagal na pala silang hindi nagsasama so paano naaabuse?
Deletetama
Deletebaka si raymart pa may pasa tulad ng ginawa nyang pagboboxing kay tulfo lol
galing pa naman mag kung fu ni claudine non kay tulfo hahaha
they share the same birthday, same astrological sign. pareho lang silang may tama. claudine has been very public in her nega scenes. nagkataon lang na may video. raymart is very private, but we all know he can be violent. since he has amassed good boy points, it is not surprising that he will garner sympathy.
ReplyDeleteclaudine has to live with the "boy who cried wolf" image. what raymart is saying is exactly what gretch said. if claudine has proof, then ilabas na niya. kaso, choice of lawyer - pa-limelight and medyo crass. if she hired legarda, baka paniwalaan pa siya,
Tumpak
ReplyDeleteKung ano man kahitnan nito i hope they'll protect their kids. Kawawa nmn their kids if someone who is psychologically and emotionally unstable ang magpalaki sa kanila. I dont wanna see another Cloud in the making save the kids future.
ReplyDeleteKaumay ang drama ni Klaw klaw
ReplyDeletePoor Raymart. He was trapped by this b*tch!
ReplyDeleteWhen Inday B. was defending Claudine against Gretchen she said that she was hoping that Claudine and Raymart could still fix their marraige, why would she want to put her favorite daughter in harm's way kung tutoo na physically abusive si Raymart?
ReplyDeleteTrue ka dyan. At kahit sina Gretchen ang pang-asar lang nila kay Claudine, 'mabuti nga, your husband left you', imbes na 'mabuti nga't jinojombag ka ng mister mo!'.
Deleteoo nga noh?
DeleteGood point. I rember that line from Mommy Inday. That means Raymart is not an abusive husband.
DeleteYou are forgetting 2 innocent minors, her beloved apos would be put in jeopardy KUNG tutoo ang allegations ni caludiine. After her baston drama kasi na injure daw siya ni Mon Tulfo and seeing her being aggressive and jumping in the fray sa airport video, I take what Claudine says with a grain of salt (heck, baka kailangan ng whole shaker of salt with her).
Deletedrama queen ,umbag queen, manipulator..rico yan, tulfo, la greta and marj,julia,angelica,angel locsin, yes editor..sino pa ba naka-away ng brhitang ito.do u think the court would believe,if they do then do u think the pipol would believe claudine??? ginawa na niya kay rico yan,at gusto na namn yata nyang ibalik kay raymart..poor raymart!!!
ReplyDeletePareho silang may tama, tama not in the sense na may point, tama in the sense na mentally unstable. Their previous acts speak for itself no need to elaborate. A piece of advice thou for Claudine, siguro if you learn how to speak the truth & magpakabait kahit konti lang, malamang you will be back in circulation again. Iyon lang. Pak!
ReplyDeleteGood point there..It's hard to believe the boy who cried wolf..
ReplyDeleteEvery year ata may pasabog si claudita,kristita lang ang peg,altho,mgkaiba sila ng way,si kristita power at money ang gamit,si claudita naman ay d mahandle na outburst,bugbugan na itech,fight,fight,fight Raymart,grabeh ang tiyaga ni Raymart huh,from that martin guy and Ang issues,ewk,
ReplyDeleteI believe Raymart more.
ReplyDeleteI think looking at the family of Raymart, you would know the Santiago siblings were raised well. There are no conflicts among them. Unlike the Barreto siblings, kulang na lang magpatayan sila. It all boils down to family.
Look at the family tree of Claudine, I not need to say much as to how bad the attitude of Gretchen is. The story with the socialite in the RCBC tower says it all. Marjorie naman is always accused of being a home wrecker. Inday Barreto naman makes a huge circus by making by putting their family feud in public. The two other siblings also made public statements against their own sibling.
But you don't hear anything about the Santiago family.
We cam make a conclusion already from all these.
Eh ano yung bruised face ni claudine dati? Make up?
ReplyDeletehaven't you heard of self- inflicting wounds?
DeleteFor someone who considers integrity as EVERYTHING, kawawa si Claudine kasi ito yung isang bagay na nawala sa kanya. Sorry to tell you this Claudine, you DO NOT HAVE any INTEGRITY.
ReplyDeleteOmg ang kawawa ang mga bata :(
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know what the alleged video is all about that raymart has daw?
ReplyDeletecurious dn aq don,kxe when reporter asjed claudine,she doesnt seem scared if that video will come out,she just told na if lmbas daw un,sa santiago clan ung nanggling,..
DeleteHeard it sa dzBB na video daw na binubugbog ni Claudine si Raymart. Arnold Clavio was able to view it ata dahil pinakita sa knya.
Deletelol pa link po
Deletewhere's the video? i want to see ;)
ReplyDeleteits not out yet, coming soon lolz
DeleteAll this is bound to happen knowing claudine's history and her state of mind. No other than her brother admitted that the woman has a psychological problem and needs treatment. Her frustration for ABS teleserye made her condition even worse. Sad but I think she is holding so much bad karma in her heart.
ReplyDeletekawawa si claudine, but claudine stop talking in public na lang pabayaan mo yang si raymart kawawa mga bata malalaki na rin please stop im sure ang sarap ng tawa ng mga bully mong sisters. stop it claudine ok na sana nung tahimik ka lang , maaawa ka sa sarili mo,mga anak mo at pamilya na anjan parin nagmamamahal sa yo sa kabila ng lahat.
ReplyDeletenasabi mo lahat ng gusto kong sabihin kay claudine. thanks.
Deleteraymart tama na yan, you should've stay quiet if you really care about your children, kawawa mga anak nyo ni claudine, just talk in private with your lawyers, im sure pinagtatawanan ka rin ng evil sister ni claudine na akala mo kakampi mo rin. please kawawa mga anak nyo!
ReplyDeleteDi ata alam ni Raymart ang salitang divide and conquer... Dun magaling si Greta, pinagaway yung mag asawa, para mas madali nga naman ibagsak lalo si Claudine.
DeleteStayed
Deletegusto ko maniwala at maawa kay claudine pero parang may tama talaga sya kelangan professional help na talaga.
ReplyDeletePero bakit wala sya nung birthday ni Sabina? Kahit ba ayaw sya papuntahin, wala namang restraining order ekek pa noon.
ReplyDeletebaka nga dahil hindi na maganda yung takbo ng relationship nila as a married couple.
Deletepalala ng palala ang babaeng ito. kashokot na pramis.
DeleteHindi talaga pupunta si raymart dun sa party ni sabina dahil may tensyon na between him & claufine, baka nga naman gumawa pa ng eksena si claudine kung magpunta sya, matagal na yun pasa nya sa mukha bakit ngayon lang sya nag file ng tpo or pro? At pinaalam pa nya talaga sa media, kaduda duda lang.
DeleteI believe Raymart. Claudine is not well and is desperate for attention. i feel more sorry for their children because Claudine creates lies at the expense of the FATHER of her children. the Santiago's were brought up well by their parents and I know they are good people. Look at Randy and Rowel and i think its the same for Raymart, they are good people. raymart is the victim.
ReplyDeleteKung sinong unang pumutak sya ang may sala. Duhh, why do you have to invite media when you're filing a case against your husband? And in just few minutes or hours (not even days) that your husband released a statement "Hello media, I have to defend myself; I am the one who's telling the truth here, make the people believe me okay?" Hush Claudine! It's annoying really, just think about your kids who are affected.
ReplyDeleteAng tanong lang dito, pano na yung kaso nila with Tulfo brothers? Sila yung magkakampi dun, pero sa mga nangyayari, mukang sila mismo ang magkaaway. Pano itatake ng court ang mga testimony nila kung sila mismo ay magkaaway?
ReplyDeletenasana annulment na sunod na ifile ni clau para makawala na talaga siya sa sumpang hatid ni gaymart
ReplyDeletemakapagdeny ka pa kaya raymart pag ipinakita na ni Clau ang video kung paano mo siya bugbugin..
ReplyDeletemali ka ata ng source, si raymart daw ang may video na binunugbog ni claudine
DeleteWe love you Claudine laban lang marami pa rin nagdarasal para sayo..
ReplyDeleteikaw na raymart ang mabuting asawa at ama.. kaya pala ayaw ng mga anak mong sumama sayo o makita ka man lang dahil isa kang mabuting ama.. hahaha
ReplyDeletestay strong Claudine dont give up just keep on praying truth will prevail
