NEW ADOPTION WAS NEVER A SECRET

Sabina’s letter included sketches of each family member—sisters Claudine and Gretchen, and the latter’s daughter, Dominique Cojuangco.
Sabina also drew herself, her siblings Santino and Quia, and a baby she called “Noah.”
A netizen then commented and asked Claudine if she adopted another child and named it Noah. The actress replied, “yes sweetheart.”
