As detailed in a previous ABS-CBN.com report, Vilma Santos commended Claudine Barretto on her acting skills, saying that Claudine could very well be the next Star for All Seasons. ABS-CBN.com got the chance to get Claudine’s response to the veteran actress’s praise during the StarStudio Celebrity Charity Series with Claudine and Diether Ocampo held last July 26 at Manila Ocean Park. “Ang sarap ng pakiramdam sobra, pero bilang isang Vilmanian ayokong may pumalit o sumunod sa yapak ni Ate Vi. There will never be another Vilma Santos. Nag-iisa lang siya. Ako mismo ayokong may magsabi na papalitan o ito ang susunod sa yapak ni Ate Vi unless anak niya parang ganun. Yun yung feeling ko bilang Vilmanian but I’m very honored na of course galing siyempre kay Ate Vi Star for All Seasons yun.”

Claudine also said that she respects Ate Vi so much that the latter’s approval is like an award In itself. She said that she promised the Batangas governor that she’ll be the best Claudine Barretto that she can ever be and not a “replacement” for her. “Siya ang pinakamarami nang napanalunang award na grand slam, Hall of Fame award etc. ‘Pag galing kay Ate Vi na sobrang respetado sa industriya at pulitiko, grabe yung honor at privilege na napansin niya yun yung talent mo, para akong nag-grand slam sa sinabi ni Ate Vi,” Claudine shared.

Meanwhile, Claudine will soon be working on a teleserye supposedly with her sister Gretchen Barretto. The star refused to divulge any details though. “Excited ako sobra dahil ang makakasama ko naman sa bagong teleserye na gagawin ko ay isang napaka-importanteng tao sa buhay ko rin so abangan ninyo.”
