A heartwarming story about an unlikely friendship between a teacher and a student takes the spotlight in the July 24 episode of Claudine. Two-time Metro Manila Film Fest Best Child Performer Robert "Buboy" Villar joins Claudine Barretto in this episode titled "Teacher's Pest."
Claudine, who has a soft spot for children, was particularly eager to portray her role as a teacher. "It's always refreshing to be around kids. Their energy is simply infectious and brings about positive vibes on the set," shares Claudine. "It's such a pleasure working with Buboy. He's very professional and mature for his age. I invite everyone to catch this episode because everything about it, the story, the script, is really uplifting."

On her way home, she was surprised to see Borgy (Buboy Villar), a problem student in one of her classes, sleeping on the street. She single-mindedly takes the homeless boy into her own house, and in the process forms a special bond with him. In return, Borgy provides Anne with the inspiration to find the missing pieces in her life.
