Claudine Barretto Signs With Another Showbiz Giant
Posted on October 8, 2009 06:00 pm by Dinno Erece, entertainment correspondent
Did we hear it right: Claudine Barretto, queen of ABS-CBN and poster child of Star Magic, is now a Viva star?
During a conversation with fellow writers, someone casually mentioned that Claudine has recently signed with Viva. This was news to us, so we made a series of calls to confirm it.
We first got in touch with Star Magic, the talent center of ABS-CBN. They said that at least for 2009, Claudine shall remain a Star Magic talent. Yes, the shining star and perennial cover girl of the Kapamilya star-making department’s annual catalogue is not moving out.
Our second call was to Viva, who initially said there’s no truth to the rumor but would get back to us for updates. Five minutes later, we confirmed that Claudine indeed signed a contract with Viva Films, but only for movies.
The Star Magic camp said this was news to them, but since they are a separate department from ABS-CBN Claudine may still be Star Magic’s queen, as far as movies are concerned she is now a Viva Star.

10. i thought that Claudine will be having a soap with her sister Gretchen in cahnnel 2, that's why i was shocked when I heard the news about it. But why is it until now she does not have any projects yet. I also heard that she will portraying the role of Jang-Geum, a tagalized koreanovela that will be aired in channel 7.

ARCHIER1. claudine did the right decision in signing contract with VIVA films.. after all hindi na siya pinapansin ng star cinema or ABS CBN. She is a very good actress, versatile and superstar tapos hindi lang siya papansinin. Well, sana naisipan yan management of ABS CBN that claudine is not an ordinary actress na pwede mo lang bitawan at pupulutin anytime you want. Busy kasi ang ABS CBN sa mga bagong artistang walang ginawa kundi ang magpacute. She has a name in the industry. She explained that She waited for so long for a movie or teleserye for 3 years. Last movie she did is SUKOB in 2006 and we can't deny that SUKOB is a BOX OFFICE, GROSS BREAKING MOVIE. 3 years is enough and it's time to move on. Na prove naman niya with STAR CINEMA her worth, as a matter of fact she gave name to STAR CINEMA for all her BOX OFFICE movies she made. HEr carreer might bloom in signing contract with VIVA. ALam naman natin most of the brilliant Stars in philippine history galing VIVA. Well SHARON CUNETA AND JUDY ANN SANTOS are the best example. So, for you CLAUDINE, you just did the right and perfect decision. HAVE MORE MOVIES, and WIN MORE AWARDS.We are confident you can make it. Let them show HOW THE OPTIMUM TELESERYE QUEEN WORKS!
