MESSAGE NI LEON BARRETTO PARA SA AMANG SI DENNIS PADILLA, BINALIKAN NG NETIZENS!
Umani ng ibaβt-ibang komento mula sa netizens nang ungkatin ang old IG post ni Leon Barreto noong 2022 para sa kaniyang ama na si Dennis Padilla, kung saan nakiusap siya sa kaniyang Papa na sana sa tuwing mayroon silang hindi pagkakaunawaan ay huwag na umanong idaan ni Dennis na i-post pa sa social media dahil puro pambabash lang ang natatanggap nilang magkakapatid mula sa netizens.
Narito ang kabuuan ng mensahe niya para sa ama,
Dear Papa,
I've been contemplating whether I should write this to you and if this is even the best way to do so. But It seems that social media is your preferred way to reach us so maybe I can try it too.
Sorry if I wasn't able to greet you a 'Happy Father's Day'. It's always been an awkward day for us cause we never seem to know where we stand with you every year. I've always envied people who never even have to think twice about greeting their dads a 'Happy Father's Day:
For the past 10 years, we have been trying so hard to slowly rebuild the bridge you continuously burn every time you talk about our private matters in your press cons, interviews, and social media. Papa, why does it seem like you enjoy hurting your kids in public? Why do you keep posting cryptic posts about us and allow people to bash us on your own instagram page? Do you think it does not pain all of us to not feel protected by their own father? It's not that we don't want to talk to you, but the few times that we do to resolve the issues, you communicate by shouting, cursing, and using hurtful words that traumatize us.
Is public sympathy really more important to you than your own children? Your words have the power to destroy your children, papa.
For years I watched my sisters get torn into pieces because of your false narratives and not once did they ever explain their side nor speak negatively about you in public. It's exhausting, papa. As the only man in the family, this is me stepping up to protect my sisters.
I need you to know that I want nothing else but to move forward in the safest and healthiest manner possible. I want peace, papa. Can you please stop resorting to public shaming when things don't go your way?
I long for the day when I can greet you a 'Happy Father's Day' and know that it comes from a place of gratitude and healing.
Leon
