Daniel Padilla asked forgiveness from on screen partner
and special friend Kathryn Bernardo amid the audio clip scandal where
the Kapamilya actor supposedly showed excitement over a text
conversation with another girl whom netizens believe to be Jasmine
Curtis.
Back to normal
“Alam naman natin na talagang nalungkot si Kathryn, dahil misunderstanding eh. Na-explain ko na lahat at naintindihan niya naman. Yung yakap na iyon (in Bench’s Naked Truth fashion show) ay talagang pagpapasalamat na pinatawad niya ako. Talagang kami ay back to normal kaya masayang-masaya ako,” Daniel said in an interview on “Aquino & Abunda Tonight” on Monday, September 22.
While Daniel did not single out those being dragged in the issue, he asked everyone to spare them and just put the blame on him. Jasmine’s boyfriend Sam Concepcion was also dragged into the controversy because netizens assumed the ‘Sam’ mentioned in the clip is him.
Friend’s fault
“Yung mga taong nasangkot, huwag na natin idamay kasi ako na mismo ang nahihiya. Doon lang ako nagkamali, lalaki ako eh. Kung may sisisihin dito, ako lang siguro iyon. Ako na lang po, huwag na yung iba,” Daniel said.
The Kapamilya teen actor admitted it was his friend who spread the audio clip online.
“Wala eh, ganoon talaga. We’re not that close, but (he's) still a friend. Nangyayari talaga.”
Daniel has learned his lessons and realized who his real friends are.
Jasmine Curtis’ story
“Nagpapasalamat na lang ako sa Diyos dahil binigyan niya ako ng ganitong klaseng problema, dahil natuto ka sa mga pagkakamali. Sobrang thankful na ang dami kong nakita na totoong tao sa akin, yung mga sumuporta.”
In a separate interview in “TV Patrol,” Jasmine admitted she and Daniel had a text conversation, where he asked the actress about her father’s health.
“He texted me to ask about my dad. All our conversations were about how my father was doing, kinamusta yung operation niya.”
Hands off
Jasmine, Daniel's co-star in the upcoming film, "Bonifacio," doesn’t want to assume she's the girl being talked about in the text conversation.
“I didn’t hear it properly. It was very muffled. Okay, people are thinking it was me, sige, kayo na lang bahala.”
Jasmine, who is getting bashed online over the issue, added she doesn’t want to meddle in Daniel and Kathryn’s relationship.
Daniel’s mother, Karla Estrada is reportedly planning to take legal action on the issue.
