Help from Kim Atienza and General Gregorio Catapang

According to Faith, she met her dad through the help of host Kim Atienza and former AFP General Gregorio Catapang. She had been talking to them as early as the first quarter of 2023.

Gusto ko sana na my birthday kami magkikita. April po iyon,” the TiktoClock host shared. ” Ang layo na narating…naging busy na si Kuya Kim, naging busy na din ako. Tapos hindi na rin ako naging sure kung magiging possible pa siya because in a way, hindi naman sa nagigive up ako pero sinurrender ko na lang talaga kay God. And if nandiyan yung divine timing, it will come.

Recalling the moment she saw her dad, Faith could not help but be emotional. “Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na for the first time in my life na nasa arms ako ng father ko. Until now, I still have mixed emotions about it because more than anything, I am grateful na it happened pero parang gusto ko pa ng more.”

As much as she still wants to be with him and talk with him, Faith explained that she is just happy to see him after a long time that her brother Silas met him and that their mom was supportive of the moment.

Faith Da Silva on why she wanted to see her dad

When Boy asked why it mattered for her to meet Dennis, the Sang’gre star replied, “Because I love him. I love him a lot. Yung love ko kasi sa kanya nung una was coming from a place of longingness. Because he was not present nung time na iyon.”

She recalled how she had an imaginary father when she was a child and would talk to him. Her mom would even say that she is her father’s daughter.

Iniisip ko na kailan kaya na I would have time and moment with my dad. Yung pagmamahal ko sa kanya is I felt like I was seeking for it. Hindi siya normal Tapos hindi ko pa siya shina-share sa ibang tao.

She admitted she also went through the phase of why her dad was not around and why the focus was on the new family. Nevertheless, she chose to understand the situation. She also said that she is happy to see him doing well.

Faith also shared that her father asked for her forgiveness. He also asked if she and her brother were okay now that they were connecting.

Asked how their mom explained the absence of their dad as she and her brother were growing up, Faith said their mom emphasized that the love of their dad was real. ” Sinasabi niya na yung tatay mo mabait talaga na tao. And aside from my mom, marami ding mga tao nagsasabi sa akin, people who worked with him and for them to say he’s a happy person. Doon ko narealize na when I saw him, I see myself in him.

Faith is currently seen as a host for TiktoClock and will star in the upcoming Encantadia Chronicles show Sang’gre scheduled for release this 2024.
