Dennis Padilla has spoken out against comments made by his daughter Julia Barretto during a recent vlog interview with Karen Davila.

In a series of deleted Instagram postings, Padilla stated that he worked so hard in the past to provide a better life for his children with Marjorie Barretto.

“Nung malakas pa ako kumita at maliit pa kyo… Kanino ba naubos lahat? Sa inyo… Kasi gusto ko maginhawa ang buhay nyo,” He mentioned this before requesting Davila to interview him as well, so he could clarify the situation.

Padilla stated that he was the one who financially assisted them in the past while they were moving from one house to another since they did not own a home.

“14 times kami lumipat ng bahay… Tama julia… Sino ba nagbabayad ng paglipat… Ako yun!!!!”

When Barretto informed Davila that she couldn’t run to her own father when things became bad, he took offense.

“Ako ang dapat takbuhan mo julia…. I defended you pero nagalit pa kayo sa akin… Sobra kayo… Ano etong mga kwento mo kay karen??”

Padilla stated in another remark that he has previously apologized for his errors, but it appears that the act is insufficient.

“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 humingi ako ng apology… Ano pa?”

Barretto stated in the interview that she and Padilla haven’t communicated in a long time because she is afraid of being wounded again after making apologies, which occurred to them some years ago.

“You know, I kinda just want to huminga lang muna from that cycle. And, you know, I’ve just been praying also na, I don’t know, maybe in God’s time and way na, you know, mag-meet kami in the middle without having to get hurt again,” Julia stated.

Padilla, according to the actress, has tried to contact them again.

“I won’t lie, I mean, he’s tried. I’m just really not ready. I don’t wanna force myself also. Because if you force yourself, then it’s not genuine, hindi siya totoo. So, I want to get to a point na when we speak, it’s when I’m ready,” she stated.

Padilla resorted to social media in June to express his displeasure when his children “forgot” to welcome him on Father’s Day.

This irritated his children, particularly Leon, who reacted with a long explanation, also on Instagram.

In response to Leon’s post, Padilla apologized and wrote: “I am sorry Leon… Miss ko lang kyo… God bless you more.” 

Padilla and Marjorie Barretto have three children: Julia, Claudia, and Leon.
