| | Diether Ocampo says people should respect Claudine Barretto's decisions Author: Rachelle Siazon When Claudine Barretto signed a two-picture contract with Viva Films, speculations arose that she had grown impatient with the lack of offers from ABS-CBN. Her absence at Magic for a Cause, Star Magic's charity fashion show, further fueled the rumors. While the Optimum Teleserye Queen has yet to comment on the rumors, her best friend Diether Ocampo wants people to wait for her to address the issue herself. " Nagkita kami recently. Pero hindi niya kinonfirm or dineny basta nasabi lang niya in passing [na gagawa siya ng movie with another film outfit]. I'm in no position to speak for her kasi dapat ang tanungin natin dyan si Bes (his nickname for Claudine). I'm sure darating yun panahon na mabibigyan kayo ng linaw sa mga katanungan na 'yan," he began. Diether, who dealt with a network switch issue himself earlier this year, explained that Claudine has the right to decide what's best for her career. " Lahat naman tayo may choices sa buhay. Bawat isa sa atin may kanya-kanyang pinagdadaanan. Hindi natin alam kung ano yun exactly, siyempre pang personal na yun, hindi mo na kailangang ipaalam sa iba. Pero kung ano man yung personal mong desisyon dapat nirerespeto din ng ibang tao. Kasi hindi ka naman siguro gagawa ng isang desisyon para makasakit or makaoffend ka. Wala naman sigurong ganoong intensyon. I'm sure naiintindihan ni'yo yung mga ganyang usapin dahil somehow napagdaanan ni'yo na rin yun," he maintained. In the meantime, Diether is grateful that blessings keep coming his way, which is why he remains committed with the pet projects of his own foundation. "Nothing is permanent in this world. Kung ano mang opportunity yung dumadating sa akin hindi ko sinasayang yun e. Kasi I always make it a point na makapagshare ako sa ibang tao lalo na sa mga kabataan. So with or without calamities like Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, K.I.D.S. Foundation (his charity organization) has been very active in deploying relief operations para sa mga beneficiaries naming mga kabataan lalo na sa mga pamilya sa mga remote areas. Kaya siguro binabasbasan din kami ng mga blessings dahil nabibigyan kami ng opportunity na magrepresent ng mga boses ng iba nating kababayan. Sila yung talagang hindi natin gugustuhin na malagay sa kanilang sitwasyon. But definitely we can do something to help them," he stressed. Source: ABS-CBN Interactive |
