Kathryn Bernardo Confident Her Love Team With Daniel Padilla Will Be As Successful As Kristine-Jericho Tandem In 'Pangako Sa'Yo' Remake

KATHRYN BERNARDO says she can feel the pressure of playing the Kristine Hermosa role in the remake of “Pangako Sa’Yo”. “I know malaki ang expectations sa amin ni Daniel (Padilla) na mahigitan namin o mapantayan man lang ang success ng original show,” she says. “But with the support of our directors na sina Inang Olive Lamasan, Rory Quintos and Dado Lumibao, and also our co-stars na sina Jodi Sta. Maria, Angelica Panganiban and Ian Veneracion, confident naman kaming maitatawid namin nang maayos ang sarili naming version ng ‘Pangako Sa’Yo’.”

How does is it feel to be tagged as the number one love team of this generation, so they’re the only one who can star in the remake of “Pangako Sa’Yo”? “Pareho kami ni Daniel, sobrang overwhelmed, pressure din lalo, so, kailangan talaga naming gawin lahat para hindi namin sila mabigo. Nakakakilig din na kami raw lang ang makakagawa nito. Siempre, coming from Inang Olive, si Inang ’yun, eh, and pag siya ’yung nagsabi, nakaka-flatter talaga. Masaya kaming naa-appreciate nila ’yung mga ginagawa namin and happy ako na pumayag siya na maging part ng ‘Pangako’ ulit para i-guide kami kung paano niya ginawa before.”

As we all know, the original love team who did it, Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa, really went steady while doing the show but they didn’t end up with each other in real life. How about them? “Naku, I’m sure our fans would like that to happen, but no one can predict naman what will happen in the future. So let’s just hope for the best. Basta ang importante para sa amin ngayon is the present. Parang ini-enjoy na lang namin what we have now. Kasi mahirap na kapag nag-i-expect, e wala naman talagang makapagsasabi kung ano ang mangyayari. So basta ngayon, ini-enjoy lang namin ang lahat.”

So what’s the real score between now. “We’re okay. Basta chill lang kami at super excited kami pareho rito sa ‘Pangako Sa’Yo’. Naka-focus lahat ng attention and efforts namin ngayon sa roles namin as Angelo Buenavista and Yna Macaspac. Ito ang most mature roles namin. Hindi naman puwedeng parating puro pa-cute na lang. So, this time, we want to make sure na iba talaga ‘yung makikita sa amin ng viewers.”
