The public silence surrounding one of the Philippine entertainment industry’s most high-profile and tumultuous marital splits has been violently broken by the mother of actress Claudine Barretto. In a shocking, raw, and emotional public address, Mommy Inday Barretto has stepped forward, not just to offer support, but to unleash a barrage of explosive allegations against her estranged son-in-law, actor Raymart Santiago, and his current partner, actress Jodi Sta. Maria. The mother’s message is clear and uncompromising: she is demanding nothing less than “Justice for Claudine Barretto.”

The core of Mommy Inday’s startling revelation is the claim of a profound and devastating financial betrayal. She alleges that Raymart Santiago systematically stole millions and seized ownership of properties from Claudine. Her accounts paint a heartbreaking picture of a daughter who, at one point, was recognized by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) as the highest-paid celebrity taxpayer in the country, possessing a significant fortune, only to be reduced to a state of severe financial hardship due to her husband’s alleged actions. The mother suggested that Raymart took advantage of her daughter during a period of vulnerability, even alleging that he used unscrupulous means to gain her signature and transfer these assets to his own name.

The issue has now reached a boiling point over a specific piece of real estate. Mommy Inday revealed that Claudine is currently trying to sell a lucrative investment lot, a property with a golf course located in Greenfields, which she purchased in cash years ago. However, due to the couple’s marriage and the absence of a prenuptial agreement, the property is considered conjugal—meaning Raymart’s signature is legally required for the sale to proceed.

A real estate broker corroborated the urgency of the matter, confirming that the sale to a new owner is stalled because Raymart has repeatedly refused to sign the necessary documents. Mommy Inday Barretto disclosed the agonizing details of this standoff, revealing that Claudine, accompanied by their children, has been reduced to begging and crying to Raymart, pleading with him to sign the papers for the sake of their son, Santino, and their financial stability. According to Mommy Inday, Claudine’s tears and the desperate pleas of their children were completely ignored by Raymart.

This refusal, the mother alleges, is not merely a matter of legal disagreement but a deliberate act of spite, which she attributes directly to the influence of Raymart’s current partner, Jodi Sta. Maria. Mommy Inday Barretto claimed to have received information suggesting that Jodi is advising Raymart not to sign the documents, an act which the mother openly described as “torture” designed to inflict maximum emotional and financial pain on Claudine. She fiercely asserted that Raymart had no properties to his name before marrying her daughter, yet he somehow gained ownership of virtually all of Claudine’s assets, posing the damning question: “How did that happen?”

Mommy Inday’s emotional address escalated into a ferocious condemnation of Raymart’s character. She accused him of destroying her daughter both financially and physically, referencing past incidents of alleged physical assault that the family chose to forgive and overlook in the past, without seeking legal or financial compensation. She claimed that these acts of violence, including incidents allegedly witnessed by their five-year-old child, were part of a long pattern of abuse. She publicly declared that Raymart married her daughter because she was “Claudine Barretto” and dropped her the moment she “stopped to be a Claudine Barretto.”

In her highly emotional climax, the mother issued a chilling and uncompromising spiritual warning to Raymart Santiago. She declared that he has a debt that will be collected, not by her, but by a higher power. While stating that her family does not harbor hatred, she strongly suggested that Raymart’s actions were driven by a Satanic influence, promising that “God is gonna get you. You watch. Pababayaran ka!” She also issued a stern, public caution to Jodi Sta. Maria, suggesting that if she is influencing Raymart, she should consider the devastating pain inflicted on Claudine and their grandchildren, warning her that she could become “the next victim.”

Mommy Inday concluded her intense declaration by stating that this property standoff was the “last straw” that forced her to reveal these dark family secrets. She explained that she had long kept silent, hoping to preserve Raymart’s public image as a “hero,” but his refusal to sign the crucial document—which represents Claudine’s own hard-earned money and a promise he allegedly broke—proves that his campaign of torture against her daughter is far from over. By going public with every detail, she has placed the entire matter before the public, allowing them to act as the ultimate judges of Raymart Santiago’s character and alleged actions.
