Santino, the son of ex-couple Claudine Barretto and Raymart Santiago, recently celebrated his 17 birthday.
In an Instagram post, the seasoned actress shared some photos that were taken during Santino's birthday celebration and penned the sweetest message for her child.
“17 years ago, July 19, 2007 7:44am 7.8 pounds Medical City. I gave birth to a son who for 17 years has only brought me immense joy. I gave birth smoothly, hardly no pain and out on my 5th push and out you came,” she wrote.
The celebrity mom then told her son, “You, Santino, are my life, protector of mom and especially your Ate, Q, and Noah. Please grow up to be the man God made you to be. Never hurt a woman, never hurt anyone. May all your dreams come true, my son.”
Claudine also promised her son that she “will do everything in my power to help you achieve them.”
She went on, “I love you more than my life [because] you are my life. Enjoy exploring the world [because] that's exactly what I will give you my son, the world.”
Santino is Claudine's child with her ex-husband Raymart. In early July, the former couple reunited at their daughter Sabina's 20th birthday.
