Claudine Barretto expressed her fury toward her house help for allegedly kidnapping her children, while making a seemingly pointed remark against her estranged husband Raymart Santiago.
In a Facebook live on Saturday, January 24, Barretto revealed that a certain Marisol, or Maria Solita Acap, attempted to kidnap her children, which was uncovered by her right-hand staff, personal assistant and some fans with the help of the NBI.
“If in 15 minutes, my children are not here, I am going to go after Marisol or Maria Solita Acap for kidnapping my children. My right hand, PA, and some fans, na-trace na po ng NBI. This is not a joke. This is very serious. Marisol, ibalik mo ang mga anak ko dito… inaantay ka na ng NBI dito,” she said.
Barretto further claimed that Marisol “slandered [her] name and extorted money from fans,” adding that some of her Baliwag-based fans are allegedly involved in her many misdeeds. She also reminded her fans to stay away from her.
“Bring my children home, kasi huling huli na kayo ng Team Baliwag sa [group chat], slandering my name, using me, extorting money from my fans. Rosy, I’m not mad at you. I’m so disappointed in you,” she said.
“Kung nasaan man kayo, lahat ng lugar may NBI at ipapatawag kayong lahat. You are slandering my name, privacy ko inilabas niyo, at sinabi niyong loyal kayo, why?” she continued.
Also in the video, Barretto claimed that a certain someone “won’t stop until she goes crazy or dies,” alluding to Santiago.
“And you, you know who you are! Hindi ka talaga titigil hangga’t hindi mo ko nabaliw o napatay. Nanay ako ng mga anak mo. This person is in connivance with someone who wants me dead. Hindi ito biro. Please pray for my safety and stay away from Marisol Acap,” she said, appearing to suspect that he might be in connivance with Marisol as well.
Hinting at Santiago, she said that their children have now grown up and added that she’s ready to face off with him.
“At ikaw, malalaki na ang mga anak ko, magkita tayo sa VAWC. You want me dead dahil hindi kita binabalikan,” she said.
Sabine calls for Marisol to surrender
In a separate post, Barretto shared a screenshot of her daughter Sabine’s post, urging the house helper to surrender to the authorities.
It remains unknown if Barretto’s camp has located Marisol’s whereabouts, as of this writing.
In October 2025, Barretto and Santiago’s marriage made headlines after the “Iisa Pa Lamang” star’s mother Inday claimed in a tell-all interview that he physically and sexually abused her throughout their marriage.
This led to Santiago’s legal counsel accusing Inday of spreading an “untruthful and slanderous narrative” against him. (Hannah Mallorca © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
