Bernard Palanca to son: "I'm sorry for not taking better care of your mother...I couldn't keep us together"

Bernard Palanca is devastated over his split from Jerika Ejercito, his girlfriend of four years and the mother of his child. But Palanca is not just sad for himself. He is devastated for his son. In a touching message, Palanca apologized to his son for not taking better care of his mother. Read the rest of the message, here.

Following confirmation of his split from his girlfriend and the mother of his youngest child, Bernard Palanca took to Instagram to post a touching message for his son, Isaiah.

“My son, I’m truly very sorry for not taking better care of your mother and our relationship. I’m sorry I couldn’t keep us together,” the heartbroken actor Bernard Palanca lamented over the demise of his relationship with Jerika Ejercito, daughter of former President Erap Estrada.

The message was accompanied by a collage of photos of two year-old Isaiah.

In his message, Bernard Palanca also promised to always prioritize Isaiah, along with Elijah, another son from his previous relationship with Meryll Soriano.

“I want you to know that despite what happened, you still are and always will be my number one. Both you and you’re brother are my life and always will be my source of strength no matter what happens.”

“One day I’ll be able to explain everything to you in a way that you can understand how life is and works,” Palanca swore.

“I love you with everything that I am @Boobie and please don’t ever forget that I’m just here and will always just be here ok? Papa loves you very much, and misses you so so much more,” he also said.

Missing “Boobie”

Palanca has been posting non-stop about his son, whom he fondly calls “Boobie”, as he reveals he is missing his boy terribly.

A week ago, he posted this picture of Isaiah on Instagram:

I miss you boobie…????????????

“I miss you, boobie,” he said.

In yet another Instagram post, Palanca said he will never abandon his son.

“I will never abandon you my son…Papa is forever gonna love and protect you from any and every harm. You can always and forever count on me my son. I love and miss you so much,” Palanca reassured Isaiah.

I will never abandon you my son…Papa is forever gonna love and protect you from any and every harm. You can always and forever count on me my son. I love and miss you so much! #thankyouabba #ilovemysons! #missingyouboobie #familytilldeath

Palanca also swore to always be there for both his sons in this Instagram post:

This is a gift…true meaning of love, joy, sacrifice and unconditional love. To my sons…Elijah and Isaiah. I promise to forever be here for you in all times both good and especially bad. I will protect you from all harm and evil. From your first crushes to your first heartbreak you can count on me to be by your side always. I love you with all my heart and soul, and will never abandon you ever. I pray to ABBA to forever protect you from any and all harm. I love you both forever. Love…Papa

Third party?

Rumors of Palanca’s split from Ejercito, his girlfriend of four years, surfaced as early as January, but the actor was quick to deny the speculations.

Both Ejercito and Palanca, however, confirmed the end of their relationship just this month.

According to an article by Rachelle Siazon on  PEP.ph, Palanca, in Instagram exchanges with his followers, pointed to Ejercito replacing him as the cause of the breakup.

“For the record, I didn’t let her go. She replaced me,” Palanca clarified.

But Ejercito, PEP.ph said, vehemently denied this.

“To set the record straight…once and for all, no one replaced anyone just like that. I have kept our breakup very private out of respect for the father of my child. There are MANY, MANY PAINFUL reasons why I decided I have had enough and it is my right to keep it between the two of us,” Ejercito said.

“We had a good run for 4 years…but in the end I had to choose the lesser evil. So please stop with the speculations,” she also said.

Ejercito also revealed that they have been apart for almost a year now.
