Custom filter menu issues updating currentFilter

Hi, there, so atm I'm trying to implement a custom filter menu, with kendo multiselect component, but I'm having some issues. So, what's happening it's that the filtering it's not working properly and I think the issue comes beacuse it's not getting the right currentFilter state. When I open the filter button it seems to do the filtering ok, but when I reopen the button, the filters selected previosly don't appear in the ui, despite the filtering persisting and I'm not able to unselect any filter at all, and if i try to filter again selecting new values it will just add the values to the currentFilter and perfoms the filtering adding the new values, plus the ones before.

custom-component.ts

export class CustomMultiSelectFilterComponent implements AfterViewInit {

  @Output() public handleFilterChange = new EventEmitter<CompositeFilterDescriptor>()

  @Input() public data: string[] = []
  @Input() public textField: string = ""
  @Input() public valueField: string = ""
  @Input() public filter: CompositeFilterDescriptor = { logic: "or", filters: [] }
  @Input() public preFilterValue: string | null = null
  @Input() public filterService: FilterService
  @Input() public currentFilter: CompositeFilterDescriptor = { logic: "or", filters: [] }

  public constructor(
    filterService: FilterService
  ) {
    this.filterService = filterService
  }

  public filterChange(filter: CompositeFilterDescriptor): void {
    this.filter = filter
    this.data = filterBy(this.data , filter)
    this.handleFilterChange.emit(filter)
  }

  public onChange(values: string[], filterService: FilterService): void {
    filterService.filter({
      filters: values.map((value) => ({
        field: this.valueField,
        operator: "contains",
        value,
      })),
      logic: "or",
    })
  }

  public ngAfterViewInit(): void {
    if (this.filterService) {
      this.filterService.changes.subscribe((filter: CompositeFilterDescriptor) => {
        this.currentFilter = filter
        console.log("Current Filters:", this.currentFilter)
      })
    }
  }

}
