Actor and singer Juan Karlos Labajo couldn’t hide his sadness after his short encounter with his German father, Oliver Otolz.
In an interview, JK said that during the pandemic, he successfully traced his father’s number and quickly messaged him.
However, instead of receiving a reply from his father, JK has been blocked.
“I was able to find my Dad’s number, I messaged him. During that time hindi ko alam sasabihin eh. Sabi ko, ‘Hi, my name is Juan Karlos Labajo. I’m not asking for any financial or material aspect from you, I just would love to get to know you.’ Tapos seen zoned, blocked,” he said.
According to JK, he questioned himself why his father was evading him.
“Bakit? Anong ginawa ko? Anong kasalanan ko? Anong mali ko? I was brought back to that feeling that I felt when I was 8 years old when I had the first question of why. Umiyak ako non, sobrang hagulhol,” he stated.
It can be recalled that his father left him when he was still a baby. JK’s mother also passed away when he was twelve years old.
Having no parents made JK’s life challenging.
