Leon Barretto, the 19-year-old son of Dennis Padilla and Marjorie Barretto, took to Instagram to post an open letter addressed to his father.
According to Leon, since social media is Dennis' "preferred way to reach" his children, he thought he might also try it by posting his message publicly.
"Sorry if I wasn't able to greet you a 'Happy Father's Day,'" Leon began. "It's always been an awkward day for us cause we never seem to know where we stand with you every year," he said. Leon said that he has always envied people who never even have to "think twice" about greeting their Dads on Father's Day. He added that for the past 10 years, their relationship with Dennis has been rough, mainly when the actor talked about their "private matters" in press conferences, 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? Did you think it does not pain all of us to not feel protected by their own father?" Leon said.
