In a rare and emotional revelation, actress Kylie Padilla has finally broken her silence about the online bashing and criticism aimed at her father, Senator Robin Padilla. The actress admitted that while she tries to stay silent most of the time, she can no longer ignore the pain caused by the cruel remarks directed at her father — especially on social media.

💬 “It hurts… he’s still my dad.”

Kylie shared in a recent interview that no matter their differences, reading hateful comments, memes, and public attacks about her father deeply affects her.

“We don’t always agree, especially on politics. But he’s still my father. And it hurts to see people talk about him like that.”

😢 Quiet Doesn’t Mean Numb

Kylie, known for being calm and private, confessed that she has been quietly carrying the emotional burden of seeing her family dragged into political controversy.

“I don’t always defend him. But I hope people remember we’re human too. We feel things. We get hurt.”

👨‍👧 Kylie and Robin: A Complicated Father-Daughter Bond

Kylie has previously opened up about her difficult relationship with Robin Padilla during her younger years. But now, as a mother herself, she says she has grown to understand her father’s struggles — and her love for him remains unchanged.

“He’s not perfect. But I love him. Always will. Even if we love each other from a distance.”

💬 Netizens React: Mixed But Understanding

Supporters: “Kylie’s just being a daughter. She has every right to feel that way.”

Critics: “Being her dad doesn’t make Robin immune to criticism.”

Neutral voices: “Her message was honest and heartfelt. We need more empathy.”

🧠 Behind Every Politician Is a Family That Hurts Too

While public figures are subject to criticism, Kylie’s statement reminds everyone that families often suffer in silence behind the headlines, the hashtags, and the heat.

“You don’t have to agree with someone’s politics. But you can choose to be human.

Kylie Padilla affected by criticism of Sen. Robin Padilla
Kylie Padilla admitted that she is hurt, offended by the reactions, scolding, criticism of her father Sen. Robin Padilla.

“Yes, I get offended. Of course it’s my dad.

“Before he became a politician, he’s my dad first!

“Of course, I do feel for my dad!

“So when we meet, I say to him, ‘How are you, are you still able to do it? Is there anything you need?’

“My dad is good at focusing on one thing, eh. But his family, we were really affected.

“But he said, he’s still able to do it. We can see that he’s still a game in the game of politics,” Kylie said.

But, don’t they argue about their political beliefs? Or does he always agree with his father’s views on politics?

“Do I agree? I don’t agree in everything.

“But I know my dad, I know where he comes from. And I’m sure, he knows himself. What he’s up against!” Kylie said.

Anyway, Kylie is back in a teleserye, ‘My Father’s Wife’ and she’ll clash with Kazel Kinouchi. It’s crazy that just in the teaser, there’s already a lot of arguing, the two of them will be slapping each other, ha!

Kylie and Kazel reportedly requested a workshop, just the two of them. Because they knew there would be a lot of scenes where they would be arguing.

“But during our taping, in our scene, I don’t see her as Kazel. Well, I see her character. But, it also cut right after the intense scenes.

“Because she’s so pitiful. Hahahaha! Especially me, I feel sorry for Kazel!” Kylie laughed.

Anyway, there were scenes where their directors really pushed them to give their best acting, especially the slap, because they felt like they were being cheated.

“But they really told us to go ahead, more! When the director said more, we gave it. Nothing personal. We talked, we had a foundation outside of the camera.

“We had a workshop,” Kylie said.

Crazy! Whose face is swollen and red every afternoon?
