Miguel Lorenzo Padlan, son of Dr. Mike Padlan, Kris Aquino's rumored boyfriend, has defended his father from allegations that he never loved her.

On March 18, Miguel posted on Facebook to confirm that his father and Kris had broken up. Despite the separation, his family continues to love and respect Kris.

However, Miguel said that he could not remain silent because of the false stories being spread about his father.

"I am the son of Dr. Padlan, and I am speaking up because I love my father. I cannot remain silent while false stories are being spread about him.

"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.

"The truth is simple yes, my father and Mama Kris separated because the spark between them was gone. However, that does not mean my father never loved her. He truly did. 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.

"What pains me the most is that during their relationship, my siblings and I often felt neglected because my father was constantly traveling to America to be with Mama Kris. 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. However, let me make one thing clear-my father never asked her for anything. He never begged for money or gifts. Whatever Mama Kris gave-whether financial support or presents-she did so out of her own kindness and generosity.

"Despite all the hardships he faced, both emotionally and financially, my father never abandoned us. He 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.

"Good people cannot be brought down.

"Soon, my father will leave the country to care for my aunt, who just had surgery. Because that is the kind of man he is-always putting others first.

"My respect for Mama Kris remains immense because my father truly loved her. It may hurt to admit that my siblings and I sometimes felt neglected by our father, but we understand-Mama Kris needed him, and we respected that. All we ask is that she does not spread stories that are untrue. My father's friends and patients know who he truly is, and they can attest to his character.

"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," Miguel ended.

On March 16, Kris said that she and her doctor-boyfriend have ended their relationship.

"Enough time has passed: he did not love me. In my defense, he did receive the correct professional fees, even when we were a couple. End of that chapter (never akong natakot umamin ng katotohanan)," wrote Kris on Instagram.
