Newcomer Daniel Padilla replaces "Best Friend" Albie Casino as Kathryn Barnardo's Leading Man in Growing Up

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes relate that they used to lack self-confidence

from Push.com

Sa The Buzz nitong Linggo ay inamin ng dalawa sa pinakasikat na young actresses ngayon na sina Kathryn Bernardo at Julia Montes na nagkaroon ng time na nawalan sila ng tiwala sa kanilang mga sarili. “Lalo na nung wala pa ‘yung Mara Clara parang ang self-esteem ko talaga ‘di ganon (kataas), ‘di ako ganun ka-confident,” pagbabahagi pa ni Kathryn. Pero dagdag ng young star na hindi naman dahil sumikat na sila ay magaling na sila. “Nadagdagan lang po ‘yung self-confidence siguro,” paglilinaw niya.

Umamin din si Julia na nanliliit siya noon sa sarili lalo na kapag ikinukumpara niya ang kanyang sarili sa iba. “Hindi po maiwasan na iko-compare… ako mahilig ako sa kunwari, kinakabahan ako dahil mas maganda siya sa akin,’ parang ganon. Talagang wala po ‘yung confidence sa sarili ko.”

Sinabi naman ng leading men ng dalawang aktres sa TV series na Growing Up na sina Diego Loyzaga at Daniel Padilla na may mga pinagdadaanan din sila pagdating sa mga relasyon nila sa kanilang mga magulang.

Nilinaw ni Diego ang isang interview ng kanyang ina na si Teresa Loyzaga, kung saan sinabi daw nito na pasaway si Diego dahil nagpupunta ito sa mall instead of going to school. “Hindi po ako pasaway. Hindi po (ako pumupunta ng mall), after school po yan, pero late na ako umuuwi.”

Kinlaro naman ni Daniel ang sinabi ng kanyang nanay na si Karla Estrada na hindi raw nagseseryoso ang binatang aktor sa kanyang mga naging relasyon. “Si Mama po nagsasabi na huwag munang magseryoso muna, eh,” pambibisto niya. Pero nilinaw niya na sineryoso niya ang tatlong dating girlfriend niya.

Pahayag naman ng The Buzz hosts na sina Charlene Gonzalez-Muhlach at Toni Gonzaga na normal lang naman sa edad nila ang magkaroon ng mga insecurities bilang mga teenagers.

Daniel Padilla reacts to being perceived as a playboy because of his showbiz clan

Daniel Padilla gets his big break in showbiz as leading man of Kathryn Bernardo in the upcoming teen-oriented drama Growing Up. During the press conference for the show set to air this September 4, he shared how he is pleased to be paired with Kathryn. “Ako dito si Patrick, ang heartthrob na may pagka-bad boy. Ka-love team ko dito si Kathryn. Makikita niyo ‘yung parang aso’t pusa naming away. Nakakatuwa si Kath kasi maganda, mabait, magaling pa. Madali siyang ka trabaho. Approachable siya. Pwede mong makausap nang seryoso kahit kayong dalawa lang. Pero kengkoy din katulad ko.”

The sixteen year-old is the son of actors Rommel Padilla and Karla Estrada. Daniel shared that watching the old films of his parents inspired him to give showbiz a try. “Gusto ko talaga mag-showbiz. Natutuwa kasi ako kapag napapanood ko ‘yung mga dating pelikula nina mama at papa. Para gusto ko ring subukan. Napanood ko ‘yung pelikula ni mama na Kakaibang Karisma. Kinilabutan lang ako kasi siyempre nanay mo ‘yung nakikita mong nagpapa-sexy. Kay papa naman, nakalimutan ko ‘yung title pero ‘yung kwento e nasa bilangguan siya. Gusto ko ‘yung pelikula niya na ‘yun.”

During the press conference of Growing Up, reporters were surprised when Daniel admitted that he already had three girlfriends. Hence he was likened to his father and the other men in the Padilla showbiz clan who have the reputation of being playboys. But Daniel explained, “Si papa naman at ‘yung mga tito ko hindi naman sila babaero. Nagkakataon lang na nauuwi sa hiwalayan ‘yung mga relationships nila kaya nakarami sila ng nakarelasyon, inisip ng mga tao babaero nga sila. Pero ang mga Padilla tapat ‘yan magmahal.”

The young Padilla admitted that he sometimes gets sad whenever anyone in the clan would be reported to have troubles with the law, like his uncle Royette Padilla who recently faced mauling charges filed by his own wife. “Naapektuhan din ako. Siyempre nababalitaan mo na kung ano ano ‘yung nasasabi tungkol sa kamaganak mo. Bilang kapamilya masakit din ‘yun. Pero mas pinaniniwalaan ko ‘yung sinasabi nila kaysa sa mga nababalita.”

Though he belongs to a big clan, Daniel said that he is close to most of his cousins particularly to the children of his uncle Robin. “Every Sunday may training kami sa bahay ni Tito Robin. Nag-train kami ng parkour and martial arts. Kasama ko ‘yung iba kong mga kapatid, nakakasama namin sina Queenie. Si Kylie madalang kasi busy. ‘Yung mga anak din ni Tito Royette.”

After GGV, netizens immediately turned to the internet to express disappointment over Daniel’s brief appearance. Some complained that they were uncontented and wanted to see the teen actor on the show even longer.

Daniel became a search trend on Yahoo! Philippines the following day. Do you think he will become ABS-CBN’s next big thing?

Daniel also shares that he is now more serious about pursuing a career in showbiz now that he has been getting choice projects. “Kasi nung first medyo ayaw ko, siyempre parang ayaw ko mag-artista kasi bata pa ako gusto ko yung labas-labas. Pero ngayon na-e-enjoy ko na siya at saka naiintindihan ko na kasi yung trabaho ko.”

Hindi natin maiiwasang maisip kung sila na ba talaga o M.U. na sla. Maaaring magkaibigan lng sla o Friends w/ Benefits. Diba? Hindi rin natin masasabi. Pero matagal nang inamin ni Daniel na si Kath ang Ideal Girl nya. Kaya siguro hanggang ngayon ay wala pang girlfriend si Daniel. "Open naman ako para sa mga manliligaw.

Princess and I

Episode 1IApril 16, 2012

In the kingdom of Yangdon, Prince Anand falls in love with Isabel, a doctor from the Philippines, who is on a medical mission in their country.

Prince Anand’s father dies of an illness and passes on the throne to his son. Now a king, Anand asks Drukpah, the royal council to allow him to marry Isabel. Although some object because she is a foreigner, Dasho Kencho head of the Drukpah says there is no rule in their constitution stating this is forbidden. Anand marries Isabel and soon they have a daughter, whom they name Ariya. However, Ashi Behati, wife of Dasho Kencho, has plans of taking over the throne as she has promised to her father, who is from the opposing clan of Anand’s family. With Anand marrying a foreigner and his liberal ways of ruling Yangdon, Ashi Behati tries to persuade members of the council that the king’s ideas are bad for the kingdom. A plot to harm the royal family is put into place and during a visit to one of the communities, Isabel’s vehicle gets compromised in a landslide. Isabel holds on to her daughter as their car goes over a ravine.

When “Princess and I” started telecasting last month, it made a good first impression with its exotic vistas (it’s shot in Bhutan) and “modern fairy tale” about a half-Filipino Himalayan princess who visits the land of her birth and, quite without intending to, discovers her royal roots there. It’s all escapist fluff, of course, but the show’s captivating premise made us want to keep viewing it.

These days, however, we watch the series more out of a sense of duty, as its inconsistencies and distractions intrude and obtrude into our enjoyment. Now that the “secret princess” is a teen being played by Kathryn Bernardo, her performance has become such a caution.

Rules

She’s perfectly cast in her bright, lively ingenue role, but she’s made to work too hard at being peppy and chirpy, and comes off as irritating and even ornery.

Imagine, she’s a visitor in the Himalayan kingdom, and yet she breaks many of its rules and caveats, drives her VIP guide (Enrique Gil) to distraction, and isn’t thrown out as a turista non grata?

The production’s excuse for this is that the king’s late wife was a Filipina, so he warms up to Kathryn’s character—but there are limits!

Yes, we know that Kathryn and Enrique are being made to get on each other’s nerves for the requisite “kilig” factor that will delight the show’s teen and tween viewers. But, the irritation level achieved is simply too high for it to be entertaining.

Other distractions include Enrique’s portrayal of the young prince assigned by the king to show Kathryn around. As in “Budoy,” Enrique is too consistently dour and surly here. Does he plan to make this his signature performing shtick? If so, he’s best advised this early that it’s a really bad and unproductive direction to go.

On the brighter side, Enrique should be complimented for coming up with a believable characterization of the Himalayan royal he’s playing in “Princess and I.” He bothers to acquire an interesting “foreign” accent, and his demeanor and physicality are similarly different from his usual projection.
