Celebrity couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto finally gave their reactions on the "failed kidnapping" of their adopted daughter, Sabina. During their interview with Ces Orena-Drilon, Claudine and Raymart can't hide the fear as they detailed the story behind the failed crime. The incident started March 3, 2009, when a mysterious girl called the yaya of Sabina and asked her to go to a certain place to pick up a package.
The couple believes that the suspect, Joanna Castro has different plans in contrast to her police statement that she is only an avid fan of the actress. Drilon asked the couple, "Sa tingin ninyo, ang babaeng ito ay kikidnapin ang anak ninyo?"
"Sa tingin ko." Raymart answered, Claudine nodded. The couple also detailed the steps they made to block the kidnapping attempt, they reported the incident to the National Bureau of Investigations. "Yung susunod na araw, yung telepono na gamit niya, NBI na ang sumasagot. Hanggang sila na ang nakipag usap. Yung NBI na saka siya [Joanna Castro] na ang nag usap." Raymart explained.
Claudine also stated her sadness on the suspect's defense that she is only a fan who likes to become close to the actress. "Kung fan ka, hindi mo gagawin na makipag laro sa... sa buhay ng tao, ng iniidolo mo. Lalo yung mga anak. Alam namin na marami pa sila, meron pa. May mga kasabwat pa." According to Claudine, the recent incident is the worst memory for her as a mother. "Walang araw na dumadaan na hindi namin alam kung.. [she paused then cried], kung anung mga lessons na pag pinag aralan ni Sabina... [and she continued crying]."
They also expressed their disappointment on the case filed by the police. The PNP only filed Unjust vexation against Castro because she failed to touch Sabina. "Kailangan ko pa ba na i-bait [ipain] yung anak ko at mahawakan ng mga kidnappers para masabi ko na, 'oo kidnapping nga to." Raymart emphasized.
