Kathryn Bernardo on Daniel Padilla: ‘Akala n’yo lang mayabang, maangas na playboy’

 While Kathryn Bernardo’s pairings with each of her three leading men—Daniel Padilla, Khalil Ramos, and Enrique Gil—in Princess and I have been successful, it is her partnership with Daniel that enjoys the biggest following. The fans of the love team are so enthusiastic that they wish that it partnership will spill over to real life. Many of them were thrilled when Daniel declared in an interview that after the teleserye is done, he will court Kathryn to prove that his feelings for the actress are not just for publicity.

Kathryn was asked for a reaction about Daniel’s declaration and she said, “I think dapat siyang manligaw ‘pag legal age na,” she said. “Ako naman open sa manliligaw pero bata pa eh, enjoy muna.”

The 16-year-old actress shared that she can’t tell if Daniel is already courting her, but said that the actor makes her feel that he cares for her. Kathryn explained, “Siya siguro kino-consider niya ako as a very special friend, napi-feel ko naman very caring siya, gentleman. Siyempre ‘pag babae ganun, napa-flatter ako kasi may iba na nagki-care sa akin na tao besides sa family ko at friends ko ‘di ba?”

While some of Daniel’s critics dub the actor as “bolero” and “playboy”, Kathryn defended him by saying that others should not be quick to judge Daniel. “Siguro ‘yung pagiging Padilla lang niya [ang nakikita nila]. Pero ‘pag nakilala n’yo po siya in person, kung ano talaga ‘yung character niya, ibang-iba sa akala n’yong mayabang, maangas na playboy.”

When Kathryn was asked how Daniel courts a girl, the actress answered quickly, “Hindi pa naman niya ako nililigawan, paano ko masasagot ‘yan?” If Daniel does court her, would he have a chance to win her heart? “Kung sincere naman po kahit sino may pag-asa,” replied Kathryn.

The former Mara Clara star laughed when asked to react to Daniel’s previous statement that he is willing to marry her at the right time. “Talaga? Let’s see after 20 years. Matagal pa. Joke lang ‘yun ni DJ (Daniel), hindi ‘yan totoo.”

Push.com.ph then asked Kathryn how she is able to deal with the pressure of fans that she and Daniel should end up together. “Hindi naman napi-pressure kasi kilala ko naman si DJ, kino-consider ko siya na best friend kong lalaki. Hindi ako napi-pressure na kailangan kami ang magkatuluyan. Basta ang importante ‘yung ngayon, ‘yung present [at] hindi ‘yung future.”
