The next time that actress Claudine Barretto, a true blue Ilongga, and comedian Dennis Padilla saw each other was during the shoots of the film "When Magic Hurts" under Rems Entertainment.
It was set in a flower garden in Baguio City.
It was again a heartwarming meeting between Claudine and Dennis who are in-laws.
Claudine Barretto Missed Bro-In-Law Dennis Padilla
Dennis was married to Barretto's older sister Marjorie Barretto but it has been years that they were separated.
When Dennis and Marjorie called it quits, their kids were left at the custody of the wife.
One of their children, Julia Barretto Baldivia, got into showbiz and became popular and controversial.
One of the controversies that hounded her was a plan to change her family name to Barretto which hurt Dennis.
Another most talked about event was Julia's failure to greet her dad a Happy Birthday.
Although family kinks were already ironed out, Dennis has been out of the radar of the Barrettos.
Claudine's new meeting with her brother-in-law was still an emotional one amid the shoots in Baguio because they haven’t seen each other in ages.
According to Dennis, he is okay with Claudine. "Walang problema sa amin (There's no problem with us)," said Padilla in an interview after the premiere showing of "When Magic Hurts" at the SM The Block Cinema 3.
Dennis said that during lull periods in the shoots, he and Claudine would talk about their family.
Claudine missed Dennis a lot.
"Pamilya pa rin kami (We are still family)," said Dennis.
He played a gay flower garden in the movie with stars, aside from Claudine, Aileen Papin, Angelica Jones, Archi Adamos, and newcomers Maxine Trinidad, Mutya Orquia and Beaver Magtalas.
