Claudine Barretto, a veteran Filipina actress, was deeply moved by a heartfelt gesture from her brother, JJ Barretto, on social media, one that also touched the hearts of the actress's many fans.

Earlier this week, JJ took to Instagram to share a touching reel — a collection of photos capturing moments he shared with Claudine over the years, showcasing their tight bond as siblings as well.

Alongside the video, he penned a short but emotional message that caught the attention of fans.

"I will be here forever, [behind] your back... I'm so proud of you that you are a fighter... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH," JJ had written. The sweet tribute did not go unnoticed by the actress of course.

Claudine later reposted the reel on her official Instagram account and responded with a heartfelt message of her own: "I love you, J. Thanks for protecting me, always. Love you so much."

The moment touched her followers, especially as it came shortly after Claudine previously made headlines for posting a cryptic quote card about people choosing "silence" and "taking sides."

Her post drew support from fans, who reassured the actress of their loyal presence in her life.

Similar to her previous post, many of Claudine's fans flocked to JJ's account to leave sweet notes.

"Super na-touch ako sa post ni JJ, grabe."

"Nakakatuwa to see JJ being so close to Clau."

"Thank you po, @jjbarretto for loving Claudine."

"May God bless you, Sir JJ, for being with Claudine always."
