A hopeful Dennis Padilla declared that his relationship with his children Julia, Claudia, Leon Barretto is “starting to heal,” although he admitted that it would take some time due to “deep wounds.”

Padilla opened up about the current status of his relationship with his children with Marjorie Barretto, during an interview in “Cristy Ferminute” on Tuesday, May 21.

“Well, okay naman. Nung birthday ko nag-text sa akin si Julia para i-greet ako, tapos si Leon din. I think this will be the start of the healing process,” he said.

“Sometimes, ‘yung healing process [ay] medyo matagal lang [kasi ‘pag] medyo malalim ang sugat, may katagalan bago siya gumaling… ‘Pag may malalim na pain, medyo it takes time bago magkaroon ng healing. Ang importante [ay] the healing is starting now,” he underscored.

Padilla also spoke about his wish to have an opportunity to talk to his children in person, and tell them the whole and unfiltered version of their family’s story.

“Nung maliliit pa sila, hindi ko pa pwedeng ipaliwanag sa kanila nang buo kasi hindi nila mauunawaan totally. Pero ngayon na lahat silang tatlo ay adults na, they can listen and they can fully understand… Mas mabilis nilang mauunawaan kapag nagpaliwanag [ako],” he stated.

Padilla then revealed that while he already has open communication with Julia and Leon, the actor’s daughter Claudia has yet to reach out to him.

“Darating ‘yon; sa darating na mga araw, anytime, I know dadating ‘yon,” he hoped.

Further talking about his children and fatherhood, he continued, “Ang lagi nilang tinatanong sa akin, ‘Bakit ba hindi ka napapagod mag-effort na mag-reach out?’ Tayong mga magulang, mag-reach out ka lang nang mag-reach out kahit walang bumabalik [ay] itutuloy mo pa rin kasi hindi naman kabawasan sa parents ‘yon e. Kumbaga maliit na lang na bagay ‘yon bilang magulang.”
