Daniel Padilla Thankful To Richard Gutierrez, John Lloyd Cruz & Angel Locsin For Supporting Him And Kathryn Bernardo In 'La Luna Sangre'

DANIEL PADILLA and Kathryn Bernardo are so blessed because big stars are supporting their love team’s new TV show, “La Luna Sangre”. This is led by Richard Gutierrez as Sandrino the King of Vampires, John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin no less as the parents of Kathryn, Matteo and Lia. Also in the cast are Romnick Sarmenta as Daniel’s father who dies, Gelli de Belen as his aunt, Randy Santiago as the foster dad of Daniel who raises him in Manila, Victor Neri as the Unang Bantay of the werewolves, Ina Raymundo as his ambitious wife Veruschka, Joross Gamboa as the foster dad of Kathryn, plus Brian Santos, Sue Ramirez and Tony Labrusca.

John Lloyd and Angel will appear only in the first week of telecast but Richard will stay on until the end. Richard says he doesn’t mind supporting the KathNiel love team.

"They seem to be very nice kids, I'm excited to work with them," he says. “We all know that at such a young age, they've already accomplished a lot. They’ve contributed to this industry and I respect it that at such a young age they are entertaining millions of Filipinos here and abroad. I was on that path before and I know how it feels to be grinding and working, I respect that.”


“Nagpapasalamat talaga kami ni Kath kina Kuya Richard na pumayag silang mapasama sa ‘La Luna Sangre’,” says Daniel at the show’s presscon. “Magsisilbi silang magandang inspirasyon sa amin para mas mapaganda at mapagbuti namin ang aming trabaho. We’re sure marami kaming matututuhan mula sa kanila dahil sa mas malawak ang karanasan nila sa amin pagdating sa showbiz.”

As the young lovers Tristan and Malia (taken from Matteo and Lia), the two stars really did a lot of prior preparation for their roles that will involve a lot of action scenes. “Nag-martial arts training kami. Nag-aral kami ng wushu and Pekiti-Tirsia Kali para sa fight scenes namin. Excited din kami to work again with Direk Cathy Molina, na siyang nagdirek sa amin noon sa soap naming ‘Got to Believe’ at sa movie naming ‘She’s Dating the Gangster’. Perfect siyang katrabaho kasi magaling siya sa comedy at sa drama, at pati sa action scenes na rin. Malaking tulong siya sa amin ni Kathryn dahil napakagaling niyang mag-motivate and very comfortable na kami sa kanya.”

Direk Cathy is very pleased with her two main stars. “Talagang kinarir nila ang combat training nila for the show para maging believable talaga ang action stunts na gagawin nila. Bagong hamon sa kanila ang action scenes dito at marami silang gugulatin sa husay na ipinakita nila rito. Kakaiba itong ‘La Luna Sangre’ sa sinundan nitong ‘Lobo’ at ‘Imortal’ kasi it’s less dark, may pagka-romcom at mas maraming action scenes.”
