Seemingly exasperated over criticism against his father, Miguel Padlan, son of Dr. Mike Padlan, explained on social media what transpired with his father’s relationship with Kris Aquino which ended in a breakup.
“It is disheartening to see how some people twist the truth and create baseless narratives that only cause unnecessary drama. I kindly ask everyone to stop spreading lies and fabricating stories that are unfair and misleading,” Miguel initially wrote on his Facebook page March 18.
In his post, Miguel explained that his “Mama Kris” and his dad lost “spark” during the ephemeral relationship.
“Their relationship was real, and he cared deeply for her. But love alone is not always enough to make a relationship last forever. Sometimes, two people are simply not meant to be together in the long run, no matter how much they once loved each other,” he wrote.
Miguel also noted how he and his sibling “often felt neglected” when his father was still in a relationship with the Queen of Talk, as he frequently traveled to the US.
“He gave so much of his time and energy to her, even at the cost of his own well-being. There were times when he had little to no money left and was losing patients at his clinic, yet he still chose to be with her,” he shared.
Miguel clarified that his dad “never asked her for anything” and that everything that he received from Kris was out of her “kindness and generosity.”
And despite struggling “emotionally and financially,” his dad “remained present in our lives, even during the most difficult times.”
“That is the kind of man he is selfless, loving, and strong.
“And that is why I am speaking up now. I cannot stand by and watch his name be dragged through the mud with false accusations and misleading narratives,” he related.
While Miguel loves his Mama Kris, he was almost pleadingly asking her not to spread stories that are far from the truth.
“We love you, Mama Kris, and we love our father as well. Family is family. That is why I am here to support my father and stand by my family,” he said in conclusion.
Recall that Kris revealed why she and Dr. Padlan broke up in her edited March 16 Instagram post.
“DR. M did not love me. He chose to leave when my autoimmune conditions were multiplying. In my defense, the MD received the correct professional fees—even when we were a couple. Alvin is calculating if he is still owed more,” she said.
“[I] edited because there are [two] children whom [I] LOVE; they will remain in my heart. BIMB is my source of strength, while M and M made me smile, laugh, and value life’s simple pleasures,” she further said, noting how she brought Mike’s kids to school and gifted them iPads.
“’Iniwan kita, masikip ang paligid.’ My prayer now is that we leave others out of our failure. I did cling and ask for too much because you restored my hope. [I] don’t regret loving you completely,” she added.
Kris initially revealed about her doctor-boyfriend in June 2024 in her interview with Ogie Diaz. (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
