In StarStudio magazine’s July issue, Padilla shared the fruits of his hard work and a looked back at the world he had before.
Before having the five-bedroom house with a four-car garage located along Commonwealth Avenue, Padilla did not live in a home that speaks of grandeur. He and his family had to transfer from house-to-house and apartment-to-apartment for reasons he never asked his mother, actress-singer Karla Estrada.
He admitted, however, that he somehow liked that idea of moving places. “Pag lumilipat kami, parang marami akong nadi-discover na bagong lugar at marami akong nakikilala,” he said.
The Teen King is not exaggerating when he said that he has been through a really hard life. According to him, there were times that they do not have enough to eat and there was no electricity in their household.
Those moments made him realize that he needs to help his mother and promised to never allow his siblings to experience further hardships in life.
As fate would have it, Daniel was led to a world of opportunities. He landed roles in ABS-CBN shows like Gimik 2010 and Growing Up and slowly, he made his way to the top as the Teen King with successful movies, jam-packed concerts and numerous endorsements under his belt.
Now, with a house standing on a 1000-square feet land, vehicles such as a Dodge Challenger and 2014 Ford Explorer Limited, multi-platinum albums, an upcoming movie, a Teen Queen beside him and an undeniably large fan base worldwide, no doubt that the Teen King will continue his reign for a long time.
“Magtuloy-tuloy lang sana ito at sa buong family ko. Gusto ko lang nakikita na ang mga tao sa paligid ko masasaya. ‘Yon lang ‘yon. Magtuloy-tuloy lang itong nangyayari sa akin ngayon. Pagbubutihin ko naman,” he added.
