Claudine Barretto remember Rico Yan death anniversary


It's been 18 years since Rico Yan's tragic death.

Eighteen years have passed but versatile actress Claudine Barretto still mourns the death of her ex-boyfriend and on-screen partner Rico Yan to this day.

The former matinee idol died on March 29, 2002 due to hemorrhagic pancreatitis while on vacation in Palawan.
