Dennis Padilla talked about the recent controversy regarding his daughter, Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia. In a recent episode of Tonight With Boy Abunda, Joshua cried out an apology to Julia. Joshua also went under hot water after a private message to mystery girl.
The said exchange with the said mystery girl caused a huge fight between him and Julia.
When Boy asked about Dane’s identity in Joshua’s life, the young actor admitted that he didn’t know her personally. Joshua said that he only wanted to compliment her, not flirt with her. Dennis, then, expressed his disappointment on what happened between Joshua and Julia. Dennis also last talked with Julia during the Holy Week over dinner.
When Dennis asked about rumors of their break-up, Julia only told him that they were actually just busy with work.
“Yun ‘yung dinner namin and there was a portion ng conversation namin na… Wala akong alam eh. Kaya lang may mga nagku-kuwento sa ‘kin during the Holy Week. So, ako ‘di naman ako basta naniniwala, so gusto ko magtanong. Eh di ‘yun tinanong ko. ‘Nagkikita pa ba kayo ni Joshua?’ Diretso tinanong ko kaagad. Sabi niya, ‘Oo naman, Pa. Kaya lang busy ako sa work, busy rin siya sa taping.’ Ah, oo nga pala may teleserye rin siya. So I felt na ayaw niya i-discuss so pinutol ko na lang din out of respect.”
Dennis also continued that Julia is an adult. She could also make her own decision and possibly, learn from her mistakes.
“Atsaka adult na ‘yang mga ‘yan eh. Pero nun pictorial namin para sa photoshoot nito (Funny Ka, Pare Ko), medyo iba na narinig ko sa na-confirm ko ‘kung alam ko totoo pala na nagkaroon ng problema.”
Dennis recalled his message to Joshua in the morning show, Magandang Buhay. He continued that he will become an action star if Joshua ever hurt his daughter.
“Di ba meron akong previous interview o guesting sa Magandang Buhay and then nag-guest si Joshua and si Julia. So during the interview sa Magandang Buhayinterview ni Joshua and ni Julia, ni-replay ‘tung portion nang interview ko regarding him. So ang sabi ko sa portion ng interview ko na basta ‘wag mo lang lolokohin ‘yung anak ko, ‘wag mong sasaktan ang anak ko. Nakatawa naman ako. Kaya lang nagiging action star ako if you’ll do otherwise.”
Dennis also continued that Magandang Buhay replayed his message during Julia and Joshua’s guesting. He asked Joshua to make sure that he will never become an action star.
“Tapos during the live portion, natuwa naman ako dun sa sagot niya sabi niya ‘Ah naiintindihan ko naman Tito Dennis, ‘di ka magiging action star,’ kaya ayun lang angmessage ko kay Joshua, siguraduhin mo Joshua ‘di ako magiging action star kasi anak ko ‘yan alam mo ‘yun.”
Dennis revealed that he already had a man-to-man and heart-to-heart talk with Joshua during Father’s Day last year. He didn’t want to believe in rumors and remarked that he would want someone to confirm a story than believe in rumors.
“Father’s Day ‘yun ‘di ko makakalimutan. Nag-usap tayong dalawa. So lalaki ka, lalaki ako. So kung magkakaroon ng problema, kausapin mo din ako kasi nag-usap tayo ‘di ba? Iba ‘yung nag-uusap ng personal kaysa d’un sa nababalitaan mo lang ‘yung kuwento. Eh siyempre ayoko namang gawing basis ang kwento. Gusto ko ang sa tao mismo (manggaling).”
Dennis usually greets Joshua once in a while. He also revealed that Joshua would also give him presents whenever the young actor could.
“Kasi once in a while I also greet him. Oh, kumusta na anak? Ganun naman ako. And nagtetext din naman siya saken. One time nga nung nag-e-edit ako nung The Barker nung October nag-text pa siya sa ‘kin. May pinadala pa nga siya na Johnnie Walker. Sabi ko ang bait na bata.”
Dennis expressed his disappointment over Joshua’s recent controversy. He also noted that Joshua and Julia are already adults.
“Oo naman. Siyempre anak mo ‘yun eh. ‘Di ba? Anyway, kung ano man ang problema niyo, matatanda na naman kayo, puro kayo mga adult na. Alam niyo na ang dapat gawin.”
Dennis gave an advice to Julia who he knew will make her own right decision.
“And kay Julia, kung alam mong di ka na masaya, umalis ka na diyan. Ngayon kung masaya ka pa diyan, maintain ka lang. Kasi ganun lang naman ‘yun eh, kung masyado nang mainit sa kusina, anong gagawin mo? Umalis ka na dun sa kusina mainit eh. Pero kung kaya mo pa ‘yung init sa kusina at masaya ka pa sa kusina na ‘yun, stay with him.”
He also shared his moment on seeing Joshua’s interview in Tonight with Boy Abunda. He, then, approved on Joshua’s sincere apology.
“Nung umpisa hindi, pero nung bandang huli, medyo naniniwala na ako, especially nung sinabi ni Boy Abunda na eto I remember the phrase, ‘Joshua, you have my respect’ so nung sinabi ni Boy Abunda ‘yun, sabi ko, ‘Okay approve.'”
Dennis also hoped that Joshua would apologize to him soon.
“Mag-sorry lang sa ‘kin, okay na ‘yun. Sabihin niya, ‘Sorry, Tito Dennis.’ ‘Pag inulit niya ‘yun magiging action star na talaga ako. Wala nang makakapigil nun. Tsaka ‘di na ako nagpapatawa nun.”
