MANILA, Philippines - Young as he may be, Daniel Padilla seems to be an incurable romantic who knows how to make his leading lady swoon with glee.
For two consecutive Valentine’s Day, the young Padilla never failed to impress his “Must Be…Love” leading lady, Kathryn Bernardo.
In fact, on Hearts Day, Daniel shared, “Nag-movie marathon kami… at nag-order ng maraming pizza. Palipat-lipat kami ng sinehan,” he shared during the movie’s presscon.
But last year’s celebration was more romantic as Daniel exerted effort to really impress Kathryn, pulling off a big “surprise” as “hindi niya alam na nandoon pala ako.”
It happened “sa bahay ng tita namin ‘yon....”
He went on to narrate, “Hindi niya alam na pupunta ako kasi ang sabi ko (ay) may meeting kami kaya hindi ako makakapunta. Pagdating niya, nakasara lahat ng ilaw tapos sobrang daming petals ng roses. Kasi dream niya ‘yung candle-lit dinner so ‘yung ‘yong ginawa ko,” the young heartthrob revealed.
“Kinain namin sinigang na corned beef,” Kathryn interjected.
Confident
While many will think that Daniel and Kathryn are on pins and needles now that they’re being launched to full stardom via “Must Be…Love”, the Kapamilya heartthrob is not at all pressured at the possible result of their first movie team-up.
“Sa akin naman po, hindi po ako kinakabahan,” he unabashedly said.
“Sa totoo lang, talagang wala akong pakialam sa kung anong mangyayari kasi kahit anong kaba naman ang maramdaman mo hindi naman maapektuhan sa resulta kasi ako po ginawa ko ang lahat. Lahat po dito ginawa naming ang lahat ng makakaya namin. At saka may tiwala naman po ako sa supporters namin kaya confident po kami,” he added.
“Hihintayin ko na lang ang resulta. Kahit naman kabahan kami ay hindi naman makakatulong ‘yon, eh, kaya confident kami sa movie na ‘to,” he said.
Feet on the ground
Daniel, it seems, is unaffected with his tremendous success in the business. He credits his parents for keeping his feet still on the ground despite his immense popularity.
“Feeling ko kapag lumolobo na ‘yung ulo (ay) talagang ano na ‘yon, eh, (depende na) ‘yon sa kung sino ang kasama mo, eh. Kung (sino) ang nakapaligid sa ‘yo. Ang nakapaligid sa akin ay erpats ko, nandiyan ang ermats, talagang nandiyan sila para sabihan ako, ‘di ba?
