But Daniel says he and Kathryn are “best friends” and not a couple. Still, he does not dismiss the possibility that the friendship can blossom into something deeper.
“Pwede naman (to go beyond friendship), wala namang problema doon. Kaso wala pa siguro sa tamang panahon,” he said at the launch of his debut album “Hinahanap-hanap Kita” in SM Skydome on Monday, June 4.
Willing to wait
He added that he’s willing to wait for Kathryn, who said in an interview that she can give Daniel a chance if he is sincere and loyal to her.
“Maghihintay ako kahit maputi na ang buhok at kahit umabot man ako sa langit,” he said, smiling.
Daniel said Kathryn is different from all the girls he knows. He even dedicated “Prinsesa,” a song in his album to her.
“Iba po talaga si Kathryn sa mga babaeng nakilala ko. Na kay Kathryn yung mga tipo ng babae na gusto ko. And siya yung nagpapasaya talaga sa akin.”
Although his parents, Rommel Padilla (Robin Padilla’s brother) and Karla Estrada are separated, they made Daniel happy by showing up at the album launch to give their support.
“Masaya po kasi kahit hiwalay na sila, magkasama po sila (dito). Parang best friends. Sobrang nakakatuwa kasi dumating yung mga magulang ko and mga kaibigan ko. Yung mga fans, kahit wala pa ako, sobrang sigawan sila,” Daniel shared.
Daniel stays with his mom. So her presence did not surprise him. It was his father’s presence that was unexpected.
The new singer said he suddenly felt shy as he doesn’t usually sing in front of his family.
“Nagulat po ako kasi pati si Erpats andoon. Nahiya po ako bigla kasi wala pa po talagang nakakakita sa aking kumanta. Tapos ngayon may album pa ako,” Daniel said in jest.
He credits his parents for raising him well.
“Kaya nakakatuwa kasi walang away-away. Kaya siguro lumaki ako na hindi nagrerebelde dahil sa pagpapalaki nila Mama at Papa.”
The “Princess and I” actor said he got his singing talent from his mom; his charm or “carino” from his dad.
“Yung pagiging marespeto, kay Mama at Papa. Sa pagkanta, si Mama. Sa pagiging ako, si Papa. Sa carino.”
Making fans happy
Daniel admits he didn’t see himself as a singer, but is enjoying singing and making fans happy.
“Natutuwa po ako kasi nakakapagpasaya ako ng mga tao. At gusto ko pang lalong maging makulit, energetic. Kasi kapag sumisigaw sila, mas nagiging komportable na ako,” Daniel said.
Thousands of fans attended and bought Daniel’s album at the launch. They helped it reach number one in sales, as announced during Daniel’s fans’ day.
Tracks included in Daniel’s Star Records album are “Hinahanap-hanap Kita,” “Pagsubok,” “Paniwalaan Mo,” “Princesa,” “Grow Old With You” and “Ako’y Iyo Ika’y Akin Lamang.”
