Claire De La Fuente On Tiff With Director Who Wants Tried To Claim Her Assistant's Daughter As His Own

 
CLAIRE DE LA FUENTE was in the news recently for asking the help of a broadcaster to get a child back from a certain director. At the presscon of “Timeless OPM”, her Valentine concert with Rico Puno, Imelda Papin and Rey Valera at Newport Theater at Resorts World on Valentine’s Day, we asked Claire about this and she clarified what happened.

“Tinulungan ko lang yung assistant kong si Gretchen para mabawi ang anak niya,” she says. “Kasi, iniwan lang niya sandali yung bata sa isang director, na huwag na nating pangalanan, tapos ayaw nang ibalik sa kanya. Pinapirma pala siya sa blank paper. Tapos, pinalalabas na nung director na siya ang tunay na ama ng bata, e hindi naman. So tinulungan ko lang yung tauhan kong makuha uli ang anak niya.”

Her assistant and the little girl were there with her at the presscon, happily united with each other. Claire is tagged as the Karen Carpenter of the Philippines and was one of our popular jukebox queens. She is best known for her hit song, “Sayang”. She admits she and Imelda Papin belong to a different era.

“Iba na ang gusto ng millennials ngayon at iba na rin ang paraan ng pagbenta ng kanta, wala ng CD kundi digital na sa iTunes,” she says. “Hindi naman sanay ang fans namin sa ganyan. Hindi sila ganun ka-techie. Pero ang nakakatuwa sa fans namin, naririyan pa rin sila hanggang ngayon. Kapag may concerts kami like itong ‘Timeless OPM’, nandiyan pa rin sila to buy tickets and support us. At dahil diyan, we’ll forever be grateful sa kanila.”
