Raymart to Claudine: Don’t say sorry

Raymart Santiago doesn’t see the need for wife Claudine Barretto to make a public apology to Cebu Pacific ground attendant Kristina Ann Ilagan, whom the actress allegedly cursed out of anger at the NAIA (Ninoy Aquno International Airport) 3 carousel area on Sunday, May 6.

“Mahirap mag-apologize sa hindi mo kasalanan,” the actor said in an interview on ABS-CBN’s morning show “Umagang Kay Ganda” on Monday, May 14.

"Inaamin namin na nagtaas ng boses (si Claudine) pero hindi niya direktang minura ang ground staff. Hindi direktang minura ang anak ni Misis (referring to Rosario Ilagan, Kristina Anne’s mother). May written report ang anak niya na hindi siya minura ni Claudine," Raymart adds.

It will be recalled that Rosario told “TV Patrol” that they will be filing charges against Claudine for her alleged verbal abuse to her daughter.

Kristina Anne claims that Claudine yelled at her and blamed her for the offloaded luggage.

The situation, not the person

"Alam mo 'yung pangyayaring 'yon nagalit naman si Claudine sa sitwasyon, hindi naman direkta sa anak niya. Hindi naman pinagmumura ni Claudine ang anak niya, gusto kong i-clarify 'yon," Raymart said.

And while he feels sorry for what happened, Raymart explains that Claudine’s reaction was not directed at Kristina Anne but on the incident itself.
