Comedian Dennis Padilla revealed how he patched things up with daughter Julia Barretto when they recently reconciled for the very first time as part of his effort to make her daughter happy especially with the actress upcoming debut on March 10, 2015. The revelation of Dennis Padilla was shared by the actor during an interview with “Aquino & Abunda Tonight.”
According to Dennis Padilla during the time when Julia Barretto made a surprised visit to the him, Dennis clarified the issue that Julia is not her legitimate child and that’s the reason why he kept on fighting for his family name with Julia. Dennis Padilla was cordially invited by her daughter on her debut.
The actor was quoted as saying “Sinasabi ko sa kanya na, ‘Julia, you are a legitimate child, that’s why I am fighting for my family name.’ Sabi ko, ‘Alam mo, anak, kung sinabi mo sa akin earlier na gusto mo ipatanggal ‘yung family name, kung anuman ‘yung reason mo, mas matatanggap ko. Sige, Julia, if you will be happy with it, sige, papayag ako.'”
Based on earlier reports, the brewing rift between Dennis Padilla and Julia Barretto first surfaced in July 2014, when the actress supposedly sought to legally change her surname to Barretto, her mother’s surname.
The mother of Julia Barretto, Marjorie also claimed that the teen star was “scared” on her father after Padilla allegedly said hurtful words to the actress in relation to the petition to change her surname.
When Dennis Padilla was asked by the host of Aquino & Abunda Tonight, whey he is willing to let Julia change her surname, the comedian replied, “Siyempre pag mahal mo ‘yung anak mo, ang una mong iisipin… Pag ang sinabi niya sa akin, ‘Yeah, Pa, it will give me peace’ o ‘magiging maligaya ako,’ papayag ako.”
The comedian also revealed that he also admitted to Julia, that he had shortcomings as a father after his separation from Marjorie but his love for his family was always there.
