Another Barretto takes the spotlight
Another member of the new generation of Barrettos enters the spotlight. She is Claudia Isabelle, the 13-year-old younger sister of another showbiz newbie Julia. She has been formally introduced Thursday as the newest endorser of hair accessories brand Goody Girls at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

The two siblings are Marjorie's daughters with former husband Dennis Padilla.
"I'm really proud of my mom. She's a woman of hope," said Claudia of mom Marjorie who's currently in the middle of a controversy after her half-naked photos were posted online over the weekend.
But the young bloods of the prominent showbiz clan seemed unfazed amid the feuding older Barrettos. Dominique, the 18-year-old Gretchen with partner Tony Boy Cojuangco, shared on Twitter last Wednesday her bonding time with cousins Julia and Claudia over pizza.
Claudia told the media that she and her cousins don't let controversies affect their good relationship as a family. "We continue with our lives," she said.
When asked if her commercial endorsement signals her entry in showbiz, Claudia said education remains her top priority: "Not yet now coz I think I should prioritize studies first."
This elections, Claudia's dad Dennis runs for board member of Laguna's third district, but she lamented that they couldn't join their father's campaign because of the province's distance.
