Nash Aguas, Alexa Ilacad on KathNiel: Sila yung king and queen

Kapamilya teen stars Nash Aguas and Alexa Ilacad feel flattered about being tagged as the next KathNiel (the Daniel Padilla-Kathryn Bernardo love team).

“Thank you po sa mga nag-isip ng ganoon. Sobrang idol namin ang KathNiel. Love na love namin sila, kaya para ma-compare kami sa kanila, haba ng hair namin. Sila ang king and queen eh,” Alexa said at the press conference of the teleserye “Bagito” on Sunday, November 16.

Sensitive topic

But Nash feels he and Alexa can’t replace KathNiel.

“Kahit idol ko si kuya DJ (Daniel), talagang wala sigurong makakapalit sa KathNiel dahil sa generation namin, sila na talaga iyon. Sana po, pero sila na talaga iyon.”

“Bagito” sees Nash playing Andrew, a 14-year-old dad.

Nash admitted the story’s sensitive topic made him feel nervous at first.

“Noong una, nagulat ako, pero inexplain sa akin na talagang nangyayari ito sa totoong buhay. So marami po kaming matutulungan dahil madami pong magiging aware sila sa problem.”
His fans’ reactions have put Nash’s fears to rest.

More open-minded

“Nung pinalabas yung trailer, nakita ko yung mga tweets ng fans namin, mas open-minded sila. And alam naman nila na ginawa yung teleserye para maging aware ang mga tao.”

“Bagito” also stars Ella Cruz, Agot Isidro, Angel Aquino, Ariel Rivera, Paolo Santiago, Alex Diaz, Joaquin Reyes, John Bermundo, Grae Fernandez and Brace Arquia.
