Unstoppable
Metro|August 2018

At the top of their game, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla both know what it takes to make a significant difference in the lives of others using their fame. As the duo, KathNiel, they talk about the future of their careers and their life together, and how their love team is a statement to the fact that staying true to yourself is the key to stardom.

Unstoppable

When Kathryn Bernardo enters, everyone takes notice. What catches their eyes, probably, are her chic sunglasses, her tiny tiny purse, and the mystery of what this petite ingenue is doing here right now. Similarly, when Daniel Padilla saunters in, he turns heads. Tall but of considerable heft, he commands the room with his presence. Yet when KathNiel, hand in hand, walk in, it is pure pandemonium. Chaos. There is a shuffling of feet, a mad rush to get a photo. They position themselves beside the door of the cellar and the sea of bodies part as though on cue. This happens several times. Together they are unstoppable.

It’s been three years since the love team graced a Metro cover. At that time, Pangako Sa ‘Yo was in the works, and the two were nervous about taking on the roles of Yna and Angelo of a teleserye that defined a generation. They only had a few minutes together, yet one could feel the intensity of their presence. That their chemistry is palpable is a given, but in close range, one is engulfed in emotions. This time though, there’s a bit more breathing room. But nothing has changed. Even in this bridal suite, it’s inescapable.

Right now, we train our eyes on Daniel Padilla, who comes in and out of the room to indulge us in this interview. He’s quicker to dress and get fully ready, as most men are in photoshoots. In another room nearby, on and off-screen partner Kathryn Bernardo gets a quick makeup touch up. This is the opportunity to corner DJ, who candidly answers our questions, and he’s a pro at it—all truthfulness and charm.
