In an interview with entertainment site Pep, Padilla said these bashers do not have the right to criticize because they do not know his family personally.
“Nalungkot po ako dahil malungkot po 'yung nangyayari sa social media. Kaya ayoko niyan eh. Nakakalungkot na ang babata pa nung mga kung anu-ano ang sinasabi sa amin. Akala mo kung sino nang may mga alam. Kaya 'yun talagang ikinalungkot ko, kahit si Papa, si Tito Robin (Padilla) dinadamay. Masyado silang nagmamarunong. Masyado silang maraming alam,” he said.
Although he usually does not mind his detractors, Padilla said he got irked this time because hurtful words have been thrown their way.
“Magaling nga sila eh. Medyo tinamaan nila ako ngayon. Dati hindi naman nila ako tinatamaan eh. Kaso ngayon, medyo bumanat sila sa pamilya ko. Medyo nakakalungkot na ganun sila. Masyado silang nagmamarunong,” he said.
Padilla said he understands why some fans are too possessive when it comes to him and his onscreen partner Kathryn Bernardo, admitting that he wouldn’t be where he is now if not for their love team.
However, the actor said this does not give fans the right to malign his father nor any member of his family.
“Kung wala si Kathryn, wala naman ako. Totoo 'yun. Kaya malaki ang pasasalamat natin kay Kathryn. Ngunit 'yun nga ang sinasabi ko, may mga nagmamarunong na. Na akala mo sila 'yung nagpapakain sa amin, sila yung nagpalaki sa amin. 'Yun ang malungkot,” he said.
According to Padilla, he always reminds his fans not to engage with others who are spreading negativity.
“Kahit naman anong sabihin ko, hindi naman titigil. Ilang beses ko nang sinubukan. Kahit 'yung last time kong get-together diyan sa malapit sa bahay, sinabihan ko na 'yung mga supporters ko na 'yun, 'yung talagang mga solid, limang taon ko nang kasama. Simula pa lang, nandun na hanggang ngayon.”
“Sinabihan kong marami nang magulo eh. Kahit nga ako ang gulo ko na eh. 'Wag na silang sumali, sabi ko.’ Sabi ko, 'Huwag niyo na lang pansinin. Magkaroon na lang tayo ng sarili nating mundo. Maging suplado na lang tayo para wala na lang masabi,'” he said.
Setting aside controversies, Padilla said he will just do his best in all his projects and give whatever his fans deserve.
The latest project of Padilla is "Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo" which is an entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.
