Matapos maglabas ng open letter si Leon Barretto para sa kaniyang estranged father na si Dennis Padilla, tumugon naman ang aktor sa naturang sulat ng anak.
“I am sorry [Leon,] Miss ko lang [kayo]," saad ng komedyanteng si Dennis sa Instagram nitong Lunes.
Nag-post si Dennis ng lumang larawan nila si Leon na may kasamang tanong na, "what false narrative [I] said in public? [I’ve] been reaching out to all of you for 15 years in private.”
Nag-post din si Dennis ng handwritten letter na may red heart emoji caption.
“To be your father is the greatest honor I have received,” sabi ni Dennis.
Sa sulat, inamin ng aktor na may mga nagawa siya noon na kaniyang pinagsisisihan.
“In the end, I regret all the moments I let slip by. I regret all the times I hid my feelings from you,” sabi ni Dennis.
“If I could have but one wish, I would love to spend some time with you. After all there is not much more to life than that,” patuloy niya.
Taong 2007 nang mahiwalay sina Marjorie at Dennis. Mayroon silang tatlong anak na sina Julia, Claudia, at Leon.
Una rito, nag-post si Leon ng open letter nitong Linggo para sa kaniyang ama.
Bunga ito ng post ni Dennis na nagsasaad na nakalimutan siya ng kaniyang mga anak na batiin nitong nagdaang Father’s Day.
"Sorry if I wasn't able to greet you a 'Happy Father's Day,'" sabi ni Leon. "It's always been an awkward day for us cause we never seem to know where we stand with you every year." --FRJ, GMA News
