PEP: Raymart and Claudine deny rumored separation


Sa pamamagitan ng isang joint statement, pinabulaanan nina Raymart Santiago at Claudine Barretto ang mga usap-usapan at espekulasyon na hiwalay na sila. Nagsimula ang pag-uusap ng mga tao sa loob at labas ng showbiz tungkol sa estado ng kanilang pagsasama bilang mag-asawa nang naibalita sa telebisyon ang pagkawala diumano ng pera sa joint bank account nina Raymart at Claudine. Noong Martes, October 25, ay nagtungo sa isang bangko sa may Quezon City si Claudine upang mag-withdraw sana ng malaking halaga—na ayon sa mga report ay aabot sa humigit-kumulang na P5 million. Pero nagulat na lang daw siya na wala na ang dapat sana'y perang iwi-withdraw niya. Kasama ni Claudine na nagtungo sa bangko ang kanyang abugado na si Atty. Agnes Maranan. May usap-usapan na si Raymart ang nag-withdraw ng pera dahil ang aktor lang daw ang may karapatan na mag-withdraw bukod kay Claudine. Dagdag pa rito, may espekulasyon din na may problema sa pagsasama nina Raymart at Claudine. Hiwalay na raw ang mag-asawa. Nadawit pa nga sa isyu ang pangalan ni Jennylyn Mercado dahil inuugnay ang young actress kay Raymart. Ito ay sa kabila ng balitang boyfriend na ni Jennylyn ang Kapamilya TV host-actor na si Luis Manzano. Nagkasama sina Raymart at Jennylyn sa katatapos lang na early primetime series ng GMA-7 na Futbolilits. Mariin namang pinabulaanan ng kampo ni Jennylyn ang anumang ugnayan sa young actress at kay Raymart maliban sa pagsasama nila sa trabaho. Dahil sa mga haka-haka at usap-usapang ito ay nagdesisyon sina Raymart at Claudine na maglabas ng joint statement upang pabulaanan na hiwalay na sila. Ito ang mariin nilang deklarasyon sa statement na ipinadala nila sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang media entities: "WE ARE STILL TOGETHER, we have not separated, we love each other, and we both value and cherish our marriage and relationship." Dagdag pa nila, "Any issues that we may have are private, and do not detract from, nor diminish, the strength of our marriage." Nakiusap din sila na harapin ang kanilang "minor concerns" nang hindi tinututukan ng media. JOINT STATEMENT. Narito ang kabuuang joint statement nina Raymart at Claudine: "In recent days, there have been numerous negative rumors about our marriage and our relationship, all of which have caused us, our children, and our families undue stress, strain, and unnecessary tension. "In order to dispel all these unfounded innuendos, we now publicly declare, in the simplest and clearest terms that: "WE ARE STILL TOGETHER, we have not separated, we love each other, and we both value and cherish our marriage and relationship. "Any issues that we may have are private, and do not detract from, nor diminish, the strength of our marriage. We ask that the public allow us to deal with our minor concerns without the glare and glee of media speculation that only hurt us and those we love. "We are both deeply committed to our two (2) children, whom we love unconditionally. As concerned and devoted parents, we shall zealously protect their privacy, and their right to be untouched by malice and gossip. We plead with the public to respect their rights: they are innocent children unjustly harmed by the baseless gossip about us. "We hope this JOINT STATEMENT settles and lays to rest all questions about us as a couple, and as individuals." -- Erwin Santiago/Nora V. Calderon, PEP
