MANILA, Philippines — Comedian Dennis Padilla reacted over daughter Julia Barretto's interview with Karen Davila.
In a now deleted Instagram post, Dennis said he worked hard for his family back then.
“Nung malakas pa ako kumita at maliit pa kyo... Kanino ba naubos lahat? Sa inyo... Kasi gusto ko maginhawa ang buhay nyo,” he said.
“14 times kami lumipat ng bahay... Tama julia... Sino ba nagbabayad ng paglipat... Ako yun!!!!” he added.
Dennis took offense when Julia said she couldn't turn to her own father when things get tough.
“Ako ang dapat takbuhan mo julia.... I defended you pero nagalit pa kayo sa akin... Sobra kayo... Ano etong mga kwento mo kay karen??” he said.
Dennis said he already apologized for his shortcomings, but it was still not enough for his children.
“Ang buong bahay ko... Ang halaga katumbas lang ng isang kotse mo julia. Ano pang revenge ang gusto niyong gawin? Lahat ng blessings nasa inyo na... Humingi ako ng apology sa mga pagkukulang ko.. Ano pa gusto nyo?... .. Pati kay gerard (Gerald Anderson) humingi ako ng apology... Ano pa?” he said.
Julia sat down with news anchor Karen Davila for the latter's YouTube channel. She said that she's scared to open up her feelings to her dad.
“I’ll be very honest. We have not spoken and it's because there’s just so much fear inside me now if I’m being open. I’m just really scared,” Julia said.
“Because over the years, it’s a cycle of making up and getting hurt. I want to huminga muna from that cycle. I don’t know. Maybe in God’s time, may ways mag-meet kami in the middle without getting hurt again," she added.
