Amid their ongoing legal battle, estranged pair Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto were recently together to celebrate the 20th birthday of their daughter Sabina.
Santiago attended the birthday party organized by Barretto at an events place in Marikina, as seen in the official photos shared by Nice Print Photography on Thursday, July 4.
The pair, however, only opted to be photographed with their children; hence, they were not seen in one frame together.
The former couple’s son, Santino, was present in the festivities alongside his two younger siblings. Actors Nova Villa, Boy 2 Quizon and Inah de Belen were also among the celebrities in attendance.

In an earlier Instagram post, Barretto greeted birthday girl Sabina, calling the latter an “angel on Earth” and her “chosen one.”
“June 21, 2004—I became a mother at 24. God sent me an angel in a form of a beautiful child,” the actress said. “My soul has long been dead till my daughter made me live again. I was once alive again.”
“To my chosen one, you are the reason I chose to live again, Sab. God really loves me. He gave me you,” she addressed her eldest child. “Happy 20th birthday anak. You make this world a better place by existing [and] by being you. I [love you] more than you’ll ever know.”

Earlier this year, Santiago and Barretto made headlines after the actress accused him of taking “hundreds of millions” from her.
Santiago’s legal counsel, in turn, revealed that a gag order had been issued amid the pair’s pending annulment case.
“We will not address, dignify, or respond to any statements made by Ms. Barretto regarding our client, for doing so is a breach of the Gag Order issued by the Honorable Court where the parties’ case for nullity of marriage is undergoing trial,” the actor’s camp said.
