Cristy Fermin shared this story about Claudine Barretto and Rico Yan

Veteran showbiz reporter Cristy Fermin recalled the day when Rico Yan died and this was the thing that Claudine Barretto was doing.

The love team of Claudine and Rico were among the well-accepted tandems in the entertainment industry in the Philippines. Together, they did hit teleseryes and movies, and their onscreen partnership became a real-life relationship.

Unfortunately, Rico left so soon, during the time that he was considered one of the matinee idols. In a recent episode of Showbiz Now Na, Cristy Fermin recalled what happened in 2002.

The showbiz reporter who was covering the wake and funeral of Rico back then said that she was wondering why Claudine claimed that she and Rico were still together before the actor died.

Cristy said that when the Optimum Star knew about the death of her ex-boyfriend, she was in the house of her parents in Subic. She said that the actress was having a barbecue with her estranged husband Raymart Santiago.

The showbiz reporter stressed that even before Rico went to Palawan, he and Claudine were no longer together. “Iyak siya ng iyak, na sila pa rind aw, mahal na mahal daw niya si Rico, wala na sila noon,” she said.

She also shared that it was Claudine’s sister Marjorie Barretto who revealed this. “Si Marjorie mismo ang nagsabi na noong malaman ni Claudine yung kuwento na namatay na nga si Rico nandoon siya sa Subic at nagba-barbecue daw sila ni Raymart,” Cristy said.

Cristy Fermin also shared that the actress was not allowed to go to the wake and funeral of Rico back then because she was prohibited by the Yan family.

The veteran showbiz reporter also shared that the reason why Rico went to Palawan at that time with his close friend actor Dominic Ochoa was that his mental health was suffering.
