Claudine Barretto admitted that she was so affected by Jaclyn Jose’s passing that she lost weight.
In an interview, Claudine explained her weight loss after some netizens noticed her improved look during her attendance at Johnny Manahan’s birthday party.
According to her, she lost 5 kilos in just a very short time while mourning Jaclyn’s untimely passing.
“Actually, you know, I’m really still grieving. Sobra talaga. Kaya siguro pumayat din ako ng 11 pounds in just few days. Hindi ako makakain. Hindi ako makatulog,” she said.
Claudine wished that Jaclyn’s spirit would visit her sometimes.
“Alam mo yun yung pine-pray ko…Hindi, hindi talaga (nagparamdam). Sana. Hindi ako natatakot. Sana nga makita ko siya. Sana mag-dream ako about her,” she stated.
She also shared that she was also included in Jaclyn’s emergency contacts, which is why she had so much regret that the award-winning actress didn’t have a chance to seek help.
“So maraming regrets, kasi ako yung number one sa emergency call niya. tapos yun nga yung tawag sakin panganay. Punta agad siya sa kwarto ko paggaling ng taping kasi lagi siyang malungkot di ba, at nag-iisa…” she said.
It can be recalled that Jaclyn was living alone as her children, including Andi Eigenmann, chose to live in another place.
