It was only in 2016 that actress Julia Montes first met her biological father, German national Martin Schnittka, after years of praying that she would meet him one day. It’s known that Montes grew up in the care of her mother, Gemma Hateau, and grandmother Flory after Martin left them when she was still a baby. Her parents are both deaf-mute.
Today, Montes has developed a close relationship with her father, as she regularly posts pictures of him on social media during their trips. Montes recently took to Instagram where she shared a picture of her with her father giving her a kiss on the cheek.
“DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE…” wrote Montes, obviously over the moon and grateful, on Oct. 25. “Every Europe trip mapa show or shooting sa ibang bansa lagi kong iniisip kailan ko kaya makikilala ang Papa ko…”

But nothing beats God’s timing, it seems, as she wrote, “Habang tumatagal lalong lumalakas ang pananalig ko sa Diyos na ang lahat talaga ng nangyayari sa buhay natin ay may ibig sabihin kaya magantay at maniwala lng tayo sakanya.”
God’s perfect time—these are Montes’ favorite words now, as it encapsulates what she experienced with her father and family.
“Gaya ng paborito kong mga salita ‘God’s Perfect Time’ dahil para sakin this time with my Dad and my family here is always a (Perfect Time) at syempre Everything in God’s will is worth the wait.” /ra
