MANILA, Philippines -- Love must wait for young actor Daniel Padilla, who must slug it out for another year to win the heart of his leading lady Kathryn Bernardo.
In an interview on Thursday during the press conference for their movie "Must Be... Love," Bernardo admitted that her mother, Min, had requested her not to have a boyfriend until she turns 18 next year.
"Sana hindi muna. Pero gusto niya din ako na maging normal girl na may nanliligaw pero sana ay huwag muna. Pero pwede magpaligaw," Bernardo said.
Asked to describe her current relationship with Padilla, the young actress replied:"Parang ganoon (mutual understanding or MU) siguro. Kasi iba-iba ang definition ng MU sa atin. Kaming dalawa nagkakaintindihan kami. Siguro parang high school 'yung stage naming dalawa. Basta hindi minamadali."
"Siguro masasabi ko na nade-develop talaga ang feelings habang nagtatagal na nakakasama ko si DJ kasi mabuti po siyang lalaki," she added.
Despite this, Bernardo stressed that she is not prohibiting Padilla from pursuing other girls.
"Hindi ko naman siya binabawalan na manligaw sa iba kasi wala pa akong right kasi choice niya kung ano ang gusto niya," she said.
Not jealous of fans
In the interview, Bernardo also cleared that she is jealous of Padilla's fans.
"Hindi totoo 'yon lalo na sa mga babae kasi ma-a-attract sila kay DJ kasi kumakanta. ...Bakit ko naman sila pipigilan?" she said.
Bernardo even stressed that she is proud of Padilla's success.
"Nakaka-proud nga kasi ang daming nagkakagusto kay DJ kaya 'yung sinasabi nilang isyu na nagse-selos ako lalo na sa mga fans hindim hindi po yon totoo," she added.
Aside from acting, Padilla has also successfully ventured into singing. Apart from his best-selling CD, Padilla was also chosen to participate performance at last Sunday's Himig Handog P-Pop Love Song finals.
His song "Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat" was the biggest winner in the various listeners' choice awards done by online voting, CD purchases or music video requests.
