MANILA, Philippines -- Young actor Daniel Padilla denied that he was drunk during a performance at a private event.
"Hindi ako lasenggero. Astig, ['yun ang reaction ko] parang rock star na rock star ang dating. 'Yung mga banda ginagawa 'yon, pero hindi ko naman pwedeng gawin 'yon. Bakit ko naman gagawin yon?" he said during the launch of his newest endorsement on Tuesday. "Minsan kasi kapag kumakanta ako mukha yata akong lasing pero hindi ko na lang pinapansin."
Asked of the reaction of his mother, Karla Estrada, on such reports, Padilla said: "Hindi naman [nagagalit si mama]. Pareho kami, parang wala kaming pakialam. HIndi naman natin lahat mapi-please. Pero okay lang wala naman [akong ginagawa]. Kung ayaw mo sa akin eh 'di bahala ka."
"Sabi nga ni mama, 'Nakainom ka daw anak?' Sabi ko, 'Oo nga mama sana ay uminom na lang ako. Para totoo na lang 'yung sinabi niya,'" he added.
The actor, who has also successfully branched out into singing, said that unlike other artists, he does not need the help of alcohol to perform.
"HIndi naman ako nerbiyoso, bakit naman ako iinom? Hindi naman 'yon makakatulong," Padilla said.
Fan throws bra
In the interview, Padilla also reacted to reports that a fan threw her bra at him while he was performing.
"Matagal na po yata 'yon. Ano po ba ang gusto niyo, mag-wow ako? Wala akong ginawa, hindi ko naman kinuha," he said.
As a professional artist, Padilla said he just have to ignore the wild acts of some of the fans.
"Bakit ko naman iha-handle, sila naman ang may gusto noon eh. Hindi ko naman sinabi sa kanila na ihagis niyo 'yung bra niyo sa akin. Oo [deadma] na lang bakit naman natin ie-entertain eh hindi maganda 'yon," he said.
"Alam niyo sobrang conservative po talaga ako. Hindi ko nakikita 'yung mga ganyan, ayaw ko 'yung mga ganyan," he said.
Padilla is now busy working on ABS-CBN's upcoming series "Got To Believe" with leading lady Kathryn Bernardo. Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, the series is set to premiere this month
