“Hindi naman masamang sundan ang yapak ni Tito Robin kasi magaling naman talaga si Tito Robin at napakabait po. Pero siyempre, gusto ko rin na makagawa ng sarili kong pangalan,” Daniel said in an interview.
Even though he won over Richard Yap, Diego Loyzaga, Slater Young and AJ Muhlach at the Yahoo! OMG! awards, Daniel doesn’t let success get into his head.
“Hindi ko naman po nararamdaman iyon masyado. Hindi ko po pinapasok sa utak ko na sikat ako. Dapat chill lang.”
His parents, Rommel Padilla and Karla Estrada have become more visible, some say due to Daniel’s popularity. Rommel stars in the new ABS-CBN TV drama “Lorenzo’s Time” while Karla guests in number of Kapamilya shows.
“Pero dati naman po, kahit hindi pa ako artista may proyekto pa rin si Papa. Pero kung ganoon po niya tinitignan iyon, gusto ko lang din magpasalamat sa mga tao na nagbigay ng oportunidad kina Mama at Papa na umarte ulit,” he said.
Daniel’s TV drama “Princess and I” is rating well and his self-titled debut album has reached gold. Daniel is still hesitant in calling himself a singer, but said singing is one of his passions.
“Hindi ko nga po in-expect na magkaka-album ako eh. Hindi ko rin naman talaga gustong kumanta. Ilagay na lang natin sa pagiging hobby ang pagkanta ko.”
Steady lang
Many people are also curious about the status of his relationship with “Princess and I” partner Kathryn Bernardo.
Do they already have a mutual understanding (MU)?
“Okay naman po kami. Steady lang,” Daniel replied.
But Daniel hopes he and Kathryn have already reached the MU stage, which he describes as “nagkakaintindihan kayong dalawa pero hindi kayo.”
“Hindi ko po alam kung MU ang tawag doon eh. Pero sana MU nga ang tawag doon,” he added.
Since they’re not yet officially a couple, Daniel insists he has no say on Kathryn’s admirers.
“Wala tayong magagawa doon, hindi naman maiiwasan na may mga magkagusto kay Kathryn. Wala namang harangan, iparang inaangkin ko siya na wala pa naman talaga kaming something. Pero mahirap din naman kapag may nagkakagusto sa kanyang iba kasi, malay mo, magustuhan din niya.”
Daniel shrugged off intrigues pitting him against fellow actors Enrique Gil and Khalil Ramos,
Enrique and Khalil
“Close ko sila Enrique at Khalil. Walang magkaaway at yung mga taong nagsasabi na parang galit ako sa kanila, alam ninyo yung mga taong ganyan, wala silang magawa. Kapag bumisita kayo sa set, wala kayong makikita na away, okay kaming lahat. Lahat kami trip-trip, para kaming magkakatropa,” Daniel said.
