Claudine Barretto says she is still affected by the death of her former boyfriend Rico Yan, who died in his sleep due to acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis on March 29, 2002.

She explained about Rico Yan in a vlog uploaded by her good friend, Janelle Jamer.

“Mahal ko pa rin siya. Hindi nawawala ‘yon. I think hindi nawawala ‘yung (love) kapag namatay na ‘yung tao. Kahit hindi na kami, nandoon pa rin. Lalo pa yatang lumalabas kung ano ang nararamdaman mo towards the person kapag nawala na ‘yung tao,” “Yes, mayroon akong pagsisisi na sana mas matagal ko siyang nakasama, sana nandoon ako nung nangyari ‘yung dapat sana ay hindi nangyari.

In the vlog, Barretto also admitted that she’s now ready for a new romance.”Matagal na. Oo naman kaya lang wala pa lang talagang dumarating so hindi ko rin kinukulit si God. Kapag dumating eh darating, someone who will protect you, someone who will keep you safe and will give you security.”
