Letter from a Reader: Another Perspective of the Bad Father


After blogging for more than three months, this is the first time that I have received an email from a reader sharing a different perspective about a story that was featured in Fashion PULIS. I think it is just fair for me to share this version of the story with all of you. Here goes:

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am writing you in connection to the story of The Bad Father that was featured in your blog. I hope you can give me a chance to share with your readers another side of him that many people do not know.

When he was sharing the latest updates in his life, he mentioned that the mother of his daughter made an overseas call trying to ask more money from him. Apparently, she heard on the news that he has been travelling all over the world. He told us that his entire salary from the station automatically goes to the support fund of his daughter. He is one of the highest-paid talents in the station so you can imagine the amount of money that goes to the fund. He even told us that the mother of his daughter legally cut off his daughter's ties with him. This means that in paper, he is no longer the father of their daughter but in spite of this, she still asks support money from him. When we asked him if they (mother and daughter) know about what he is going through lately, he said they don’t even have any idea, and if but they did, and I quote, "For sure, they would be happy." When he told us this, I could feel the pain and emotion in his heart. He loves his daughter very much. Not many people know that he loves photography and he has displayed one of his greatest works inside his condo, a picture of his beautiful daughter.

I am telling you this because in my heart I know that he is a good person. He is completely the opposite of the image that he projects on TV. He is the sweetest, most generous and kindest guy I have ever met. Any girl in our circle of friends would gladly take the place of his most recent ex-girlfriend’s in his heart. People who do not know him have been quick to judge him. He is going through a very rough time now and it doesn't help that people keep hitting him. He seems like one tough cookie but he is soft to the core. I just hope people see past his image on TV and see the real him.

Thanks for your time, FP.

Yours truly,
Miss C.
