Kathryn Bernardo Doesn't Want to Assume That She is a Big Star Already

Parehong naging emosyunal sina Kathryn Bernardo at Julia Montes, ang mga bida ng pelikula ng Star Cinema na Way Back Home nang ganapin noong Martes, August 16, ang premiere night. Nawala daw ang kaba nila nang makita kung gaano kadami ang nagpakita ng suporta sa kanilang launching movie. Puro good reviews din ang nakuha ng pelikula mula sa mga nanonood.



“Masaya kasi nakita namin sa mga scenes kinikilig din sila, naiiyak din sila,” kuwento ni Kathryn nang ma-interview after the screening. “So natutuwa kami kasi effective. So sana ‘yung mga ‘di pa nakakapanood sana magustuhan din nila.”



Dahil sa magandang review sa pelikula, inaasahang lalong kikilalanin ang dalawa bilang promising young actresses. Confident na ba sila ngayon na lalo pa silang sisikat? “Hindi pa rin po ganun ka-confident,” sagot ni Kathryn. “Siguro na-lessen din po [ang kaba] pero hindi mo pa rin masasabi ‘yon. Ayoko pong mag-assume so sana ‘yung mga tao willing silang magbayad [para mapanood ang pelikula]. Wag bibili ng fake DVDs ganyan. ‘Yun ang talagang wino-worry ko. Tingnan natin ang week na ito kung susuportahan nila.”



Dahil sa phenomenal success ng kanilang pinagbidahang remake ng Mara Clara, marami ang nagsasabing sina Kathryn at Julia na ang next big stars. Dahil din sa magandang launching movie, sinasabing hindi raw ito malayong mangyari.



Pero para kay Kathryn, masyado pang maaga para mabansagan silang young superstars. “Hindi ko rin nilalagay sa ulo ko na young superstars kasi hindi naman parating kami lang. May darating [na bago]. ‘Yung sa akin po ibinibigay ko lang po ‘yung best ko sa lahat. Ayoko namang mag-expect na ako lang kasi maraming kakompitensya din. So ngayon ine-enjoy ko lang po ang blessings.”



Sa nasabing premiere night, sa lahat daw ng papuring narinig ni Kathryn, pinakagusto raw niya ang pagbati sa kanya ng ABS-CBN executives na sina Star Cinema Managing Director Malou N. Santos at ABS-CBN Entertainment Productions Head Cory Vidanes. “’Yung makita ko lang na happy po ‘yung mga boss, sina Tita Malou, Tita Cory, makita ko lang na kino-congratulate kami at umiiyak sila, ‘yun eh. Sobrang magandang prize na ‘yon. Makita ko lang ang Mara Clara family, ‘yung Growing Up family na proud na proud sila sa akin, para sa akin okay na ‘yun eh.” Ang Growing Up ay ang upcoming teen-oriented teleserye na pagbibidahan nina Kathryn at Julia soon.



Bukod din sa dalawang dalaga, umani rin ng magagandang reviews ang kanilang mga leading men sa pelikula na sina Sam Concepcion at Enrique Gil na nagpadagdag kilig sa mga manonood. “Kasi sina Enrique at Sam talaga tinutulungan ako para kiligin ang audience. Kahit na first time naming magka-love team natutuwa ako kasi kinilikig ang mga tao sa mga scenes namin, sa fish jokes namin [ni Enrique] so salamat kasi effective actors sila.”

In an interview with ABS-CBN's "Showbiz News Ngayon," Bernardo said that they are not sure if the people they invited can make it to the premiere, which will be held at SM Megamall on Tuesday night.



"Kinakabahan kami siyempre kung makakapunta ang mga taong makakapunta sa aming [premiere] at kung ano ang reaksyon nila kapag nakita nila ang movie," she said.



"Sana po makita namin kayo sa August 16, sa SM Megamall na po 'yan."

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes, Like Sisters in Real Life

Currently busy promoting her latest project, the Star Cinema drama Way Back Home, Kathryn Bernado admitted that she is excited to be back in the limelight along with former Mara Clara co-star Julia Montes. “I’m busy talaga dun sa movie and sa Growing Up. Siyempre aabangan nung fans sana kasi matagal na din yung pagkawala namin sa TV sa Mara Clara so dito mapapanuod nila kami ulit ni Julia tapos ibang Kathryn din ang makikita nila. Talagang pinaghirapan namin ito ng sobra kaya sana maagustohan nila,” she said.



The 15-year-old actress admitted that she and Julia have gotten even closer than before, even off-cam. “Close na naman talaga kami ni Julia. From Goin Bulilit and Mara Clara, lalong na-develop yung friendship namin and hindi ko lang siya kaibigan pero tinuturing ko na siyang kaipatid eh. Parati kami lumalabas or tatambay siya sa bahay ko, ganyan. Supportive din siya sa akin. Close na din ang families namin. Si Lola pati si mama sobrang gusto rin siya,” she shared.



Kathryn revealed that one of their favorite bonding activities is going to the mall during days when they don’t have work. It also doesn’t hurt that they both share a passion for shopping and have even gotten matching outfits together. “Mahilig kami mag-malling tapos bibili kami ng magkapareho na damit. Marami na kaming nabili na mga gamit na pareho. Tapos nagpapa-foot spa kami, ganyan. Tapos tambay lang sa bahay,” she said.



Kathryn shared that although she enjoys hanging out with friends at home, she really enjoys being out and about. “I really like malling and shopping. Ayokong nasa bahay parati, guso ko nagmo-mall ako. Ikot-ikot lang sa mall, Masaya na ako dun,” she added.



After the almost overnight popularity she got with the success of Mara Clara, Kathryn said she has not allowed fame to get to her. “I try to stay the same. Ayoko talaga magbago. At saka feeling ko ayaw rin ng family ko ng ganun, pag may nakikita sila sa akin, pagsasabihan nila ako agad para ma-correct. Pero so far, wala pa naman yatang ganun. Bawal maging ganun,” she stressed.



The Way Back Home actress said that the only difference now is that she is more ready to face the crowd after becoming more recognizable in public. But other than that, she is still the same down-to-earth person that she has always been. “Pareho lang ako ngayon. Siguro lang naging confident ako, kasi ngayon medyo kilala na ako ng mga tao kahit saan ako magpunta. Hindi katulad ng dati na hindi ka nila papansinin. Ngayon kailangan may image ka na aalgaan kasi bawat labas mo may makakakilala sa ‘yo,” she admitted to Push.com.ph.



The Star Magic talent also admitted that she would rather focus on her career than boys at this moment. “Hanggang admirers lang sila. Wala muna ngayon. Open ako sa manliligaw pero hanggang dun lang. Wala munang commitment,” she shared.



Kathryn said she hopes to be able to do a different kind of project someday where she can play a lighter kind of character. “Siguro yung malayo naman sa character ni Mara. Yung hindi paawa. Siguro yung medyo love story na comedy, yung malayo sa drama para iba naman. Parang yung roles ni Sarah Geronimo, mga My Girl na type of role ni Kim Chiu. Or like yung Thai movie na Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Mga pa-tweetums na makaka-relate yung mga teenagers,” she said.

Kathryn Bernardo Doesn't Mind Being Compared With Julia Montes

After being catapulted to star status by their hit teleserye Mara Clara, Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes will clash once again, this time on the big screen via Star Cinema’s upcoming offering Way Back Home. Those who got hooked on the rivalry between Kathryn and Julia’s characters in their TV series are in for a new treat in Way Back Home. Kathryn shared, “Iba po itong movie, hindi tulad ng Mara Clara na maraming sampalan and sabunutan. Walang masyadong sakitan, more on the dialogue.”



Kathryn confessed that she is feeling the pressure to follow up the success of Mara Clara by making their launching movie a box office hit. “Nararamdaman talaga namin ‘yung kaba kasi iba na ang pelikula. Sa TV isang click lang makakapanood na ang mga tao. Pero sa movie kailangan nang magbayad. Iba rin ang acting sa movie kaya mas challenging.”



In the movie, Kathryn will play Joanna who after years of living with amnesia comes home to her real family. But the lost time has alienated Joanna from everyone, most especially to her elder sister Jessica, played by Julia. Kathryn explained that she doesn’t mind being typecast playing goodie-oppressed roles on screen. “Hindi ako natatakot na ma-typecast na api-apihan lagi. Pero sana mabigyan din ako ng chance na gumawa ng bago para maiba naman. Nasa management po ‘yun kung anong roles ang bagay sa akin.”



For her impressive acting talent, Kathryn is now being tagged as Judy Ann Santos’s successor. But the teen actress said she prefers establishing her own name in the industry. “Sobrang thankful kasi sobrang laking artista ni Ms. Juday. Malaking compliment na maikumpara sa kanya. Pero sabi na sa akin ni Ate Juday noon na ayaw naman niyang pati ‘yung pag-arte niya e gayahin ko. Gusto niya gumawa ako ng sarili kong name. Kaya ngayon happy siya sa nagiging takbo ng career ko.”



Both Kathryn and Julia are predicted to be on their way to superstardom. That’s why aside from playing rivals onscreen, they are also being pitted against each other as to who is more talented and popular. However, Kathryn said that despite the intrigues, she and Julia remain good friends. “Hindi talaga maiiwasan ang comparison sa artista lalo na sa aming dalawa ni Julia. Pero alam namin pareho na hindi kami dapat magpaapekto. For as long as alam naming dalawa kung ano ang totoo friends pa rin kami. Kapag work, work lang. Wala namang personalan sa amin ni Julia. Effective si Julia kapag eksena kaya makaka-react ka talaga nang tama.”

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes Regarded as Next Superstars

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes are now regarded as the newest breakthrough stars, having starred in the top-rating teleserye Mara Clara and now in the upcoming movie Way Back Home. During the press conference for the film opening August 17, the two young stars talked about their experience making the jump from teleserye to movie. They described Way Back Home as the fulfillment of their dream to see themselves play lead roles on the big screen.



Director Jerry Sineneng attested to the observations of fans and critics alike that Kathryn and Julia both have the makings superstars and have even been likened to Judy Ann Santos and Claudine Barretto. Direk Jerry shared, “Deep in my heart nararamdaman ko na si Kathryn ay sumusunod sa yapak ni Judy Ann Santos and si Julia naman sumusunod sa yapak ni Claudine Barretto. Pareho silang magaling, very professional, passionate at committed sa kanilang trabaho. Ginu-groom talaga sila as parehong bida. Pareho silang bida material. Baka siguro maging future rivals sila in terms of popularity, talent, number of fans. They are future superstars.”



The veteran director had some advice for the two young stars so they can stay long in the business. “Always keep your feet on the ground. The more you go up the ladder kasi the more responsibility you have. Mas malaki ang ine-expect sa iyo ng mga tao. You have to learn to embrace those things na kasabay ng pagsikat. ‘Wag lumaki ang ulo at laging lumingon sa pinanggalingan. I’ve been a director for 16 years. Marami na akong na handle na sumikat, pero nasaan na ngayon. Ang nagtatagal kasi talaga aside from talent is ‘yung tingin sa iyo ng mga katrabaho mo. Once trust ang nasira mahirap nang makuha uli.”



Agot Isidro, who plays their mother in Way Back Home, talked about the positive traits she saw in the two stars while shooting the movie. “Nararamdaman ko ‘yung kanilang determination at hard work. They really do the best that they can in every scene. Kapag take na or kapag nagri-rehearse na, yun talagang parang sinasaniban. Ang nakatrabaho nila ay ang kaibigan kong si Mylene (Dizon) sa Mara Clara and I've heard good feedbacks from her.”



Agot added that with the talent and hard work, if Kathryn and Julia will also have the right attitude, they are more likely to become superstars like Judy Ann Santos and Claudine Barretto. “As long as they play their part. I mean, the talent is there, the looks are there, the attitude. As long as they stay that way. Kasi yung dalawang stars (Judy Ann and Claudine), especially Juday, talagang until now she's hardworking. Sana maging ganun din sina Kathryn at Julia.”

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes Named as the Next Judy Ann Santos and Claudine Barretto

During the presscon for the upcoming Star Cinema movie “Way Back Home,” its lead stars Julia Montes and Kathryn Bernardo are being tagged by the entertainment press as the next Claudine Barretto and Judy Ann Santos.



This is simply because both Julia and Kathryn show a lot of promise in their budding career since their last project, “Mara Clara,” has been a nationwide top-rater.



And since both of them have already established solid followers in different parts of the country, ABS-CBN is giving them another TV project (Growing Up) and the network’s film outfit, Star Cinema, is launching them on the big screen via the coming-of-age drama “Way Back Home.”



With the way their careers are moving, there’s no doubt that both Julia and Kathryn will follow the footsteps of their idols.

Kathryn Bernardo Hopes Fans Will Support Her Pairing With Enrique Gil

Fresh from the success of their primetime teleserye Mara Clara, Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes are now headlining a movie. The two young actresses star in the new Star Cinema offering entitled Way Back Home. The film is scheduled for nationwide release on August 17, but as early as now fans of Kathryn and Julia are very much excited to head to the theaters.

But there are also rumors that there are some fans who got very disappointed when it was confirmed Kathryn would be paired with Enrique Gil in the movie rather than her original leading man in Mara Clara, Albie Casiño.

Albie was originally part of Way Back Home as Kathryn’s leading man together with the late AJ Perez who was to be paired with Julia. When AJ died, Sam Concepcion was chosen to take over the role. As to why Albie was replaced by Enrique, Star Cinema management explained that they just want to experiment with different combinations for Kathryn and Julia. There was no mention if it had anything to do with controversies hounding Albie at the moment involving now pregnant ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann.

During the press conference for Way Back Home, Kathryn admitted that she felt a bit nervous thinking if fans will still support the movie even with a new leading man. She said, “Ang totoo po kinakabahan din ako, kung susuportahan pa rin ba ako ng fans kahit wala si Albie. Pine-pray ko pa rin na sana ‘yung mga fans namin ni Albie suportahan pa rin kami ni Enrique kasi ‘yung love team naman namin ni Enrique dito sa movie ibang iba dun sa nakita ng mga tao sa amin ni Albie sa Mara Clara.”

Kathryn lost touch with Albie when Mara Clara wrapped up, until last July 31 when they ran into each other at the Star Magic Games. “Sobrang na-miss ko si Albie kasi siya ‘yung parang kuya na namin. Siya 'yung nagbibigay ng advice.”

For Kathryn, doing Way Back Home could’ve been easier if she had Albie with her. “Siyempre po, si Albie, gamay na namin kasi po matagal kaming nagsama sa Mara Clara,” she reasoned.

She further confessed that at first she felt shy towards Enrique, but eventually they easily became good friends and both found it comfortable doing scenes together. “At first po, naiilang po ako kay Enrique. Pero noong tumagal kasi, dahil sobrang bait naman niya, parang masaya rin talaga na kasama sila ni Sam. So, kapag nagte-take na, okay na kami. Sa mga takes, ibinigay na namin ang best namin kasi, okay na, comfortable na kami sa isa't isa.”

According to director Jerry Sineneng, Kathryn and Enrique were able to forge a palpable onscreen chemistry in Way Back Home. “Sobrang kilig silang dalawa. Unang eskena pa lang nila nakitaan ko na agad ng chemistry. Dun ko nasabi na bagay talaga si Kathryn and Enrique.”

Judy Ann Santos Reacts on Kathryn Bernardo's Doing Remakes of Her Teleseryes

Judy Ann Santos is taking a break from acting to do a reality show as she hosts Junior MasterChef: Pinoy Edition. After over twenty years as an actress, Judy Ann said that she is very much excited over her first time to do a reality show. “Ang pinakagusto ko talaga sa show na ito e masyadong totoo. Since mga bata ang kasama namin walang pine-play up na kung ano pa man. Kung ano man ‘yung mapanood ninyo sa TV, ‘yung ang real emotions ng mga bata.”

She had previously admitted that at first, she was very nervous about having to take on the hosting duties. But as the taping for JMC progressed, she learned that for as long as she remains sincere to her feelings, the words would easily follow. “Mahirap, minsan nakakautal. Pero na-experience ko na, ganun pala ‘yun, kapag galing sa puso ‘yung sasabihin mo, dire-direcho kang makakapagsalita. Minsan nagugulat ako kasi tuloy tuloy ‘yung pagsasalita ko. May sense naman pala ‘yung mga sinasabi ko, ha ha ha!”

In JMC, kids ages eight to twelve will compete in a series of cooking activities to see who has the making of a future top chef. Judy Ann, together with other renowned Pinoy chefs, will taste and critique whatever the kiddie cooks will serve. The Young Superstar confessed that giving critiques on the childrens’ work had been the most challenging task so far. “‘Yun ang pinakamahirap. Unang-una ayaw naman naming makasakit ng mga damdamin ng mga bata. They are still kids kaya lahat ng marinig nila, dadamdamin nila. But at the same time we have to be honest din, kung masarap ba talaga ‘yung ginawa nila, kung alin ang dapat i-improve. We have to be gentle sa bitaw ng comments. E limitado pa naman ‘yung mga alam kong words. So kailangan ko pang mag-research, ha ha ha!”

Being surrounded by the JMC kids, Judy would often feel nostalgic regarding her early days in showbiz as a child star. Her top-rating ‘90s teleserye Mara Clara was recently revived by ABS-CBN and made stars out of young actresses Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes. Now there are talks that Kathryn is also being eyed by the Kapamilya network to star in the remake of another Judy Ann teleserye, Esperanza.

According to Judy Ann, she is very happy to see someone like Kathryn taking on her past projects. But the original Mara wished that the upcoming star would also be given projects that will allow her to establish her own name. “I think Kathryn Bernardo is doing very good. Nakakatuwa na may sumusunod sa mga ginagawa kong projects. Pero ang wish ko talaga for her is mabigyan siya ng proyektong kanya lang para makilala siya as Kathryn Bernardo talaga. Unfair rin naman kasi sa bata na hirap na hirap magtrabaho, pinaghihirapan niya makilala siya, tapos ipa-pattern lang siya sa mga teleseryeng nagawa ko na. Nakakahinayang naman ‘yung galing niya. Nakasama ko ‘yan sa Krystala.”

Despite this, Judy Ann still expressed her full trust in ABS-CBN, the same network that launched her to stardom, to know what’s best for Kathryn’s career. “I’m sure na may magandang plano ang ABS-CBN sa kanya. Baka umpisa pa lang ito para kay Kathryn. Siguro kapag hasang-hasa na talaga ‘yung galing niya e paliparin na talaga siya nang bonggang-bongga. Ang wish ko lang for her is, kung ano man ‘yung success na naibigay sa Mara Clara, Esperanza, at sa iba ko pang projects, ganun din ang maibigay kay Kathryn at kay Julia.”

Sam Concepcion and Enrique Gil Join Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes in Star Cinema Movie

The breakthrough performances of Sam Concepcion and Enrique Gil in the youth-oriented program “Good Vibes” have paved the way for the launch of their movie career.

Sam and Enrique were recently announced as the partners of teen royalties Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes in a film for Star Cinema.

The two are shoo-ins for the plum roles as they have already established themselves as brilliant actors in “Good Vibes” where they play half-brothers Marc and Troy, respectively.

Furthermore, the two have also developed a clout among youth viewers who are either amazed by their superb acting and dancing skills or are drawn by their good looks and charisma.

Aside from Sam and Enrique, the program has also provided a boost to the career of Arron Villaflor who celebrated his birthday last July 5. Arron first showed his more mature and “sexier” image in “Good Vibes” where his character Franco is in a relationship with an older girl.

Arron shared that there’s still much he wants to do in his career. “I wish more success in my career, like someday I hope to be able to choreograph a dance number in ASAP Rocks. It will be like Good Vibes and ASAP all in one” he said.

A year older, the young actor said he is a fighter now, and he was inspired by his character to be so. “I learned from Franco to fight for what is right and not give up whatever the struggles and circumstances that come,” Arron stated.

Meanwhile, Arron and company continue to bring kilig vibes this Sunday (July 10). Troy will follow the suggestion of Danilo (Joe Vargas) and Jhong (Eslove Briones) to use magic in courting Geleen (Linn Oeymo). Monique (Coleen Garcia) will also witness a tender moment between her ex-boyfriend Marc and Ara (Yen Santos).

The Jaevon team-up will raise the ante with their own romantic moment. Spencer (James Reid) will try to help Maribeth (Devon Seron) hide from her mom by pulling her close to him, setting them just inches away from each other.

Will the first on-screen kiss of James and Devon finally happen? Find out on “Good Vibes” this Sunday (July 10), after “ASAP Rocks” on ABS-CBN.

Kathryn Bernardo, “Mara Clara” star, casts a spell on “Wansapanataym’s” episode this Saturday.

ABS-CBN’s hit Saturday TV program shares a story about a teenager who’s out to confront typical teenage issues. Under the direction of Erick Salud, the episode revolves around the life of Jenny (Kathryn), a girl who comes from a poor family of magicians. Jenny was only two years old when a fairy granted her family with magical powers. Their special ‘skill’ helped them survive. As Jenny grows up, she starts to confront teenage issues like wanting to be popular and wanting to belong. As she struggles her way through teenage life, Jenny decides to join a talent contest where she can use her magic powers thinking that it will be one way to gain popularity. Though her parents were against her plan of joining, she still pursues. This is where the gap between Jenny and her parents begins to develop.

Kathryn will be sharing the small screen with Renz Fernandez, son of Lorna Tolentino and Rudy Fernandez. Other cast members include Lito Pimentel, Maricar De Mesa, and Perla Bautista.

Meanwhile, “Wansapanataym” retains leadership on its timeslot according to Kantar Media last Saturday (July 2). Earning a national rating of 22.8%, “Wansapanataym” beat GMA 7’s “Andres De Saya” which only got a 14.3% national rating.

Don’t miss “Wansapanataym” this Saturday after “TV Patrol Weekend” on ABS-CBN.

Julia Montes Happy to be Working Again With Kathryn Bernardo

Julia Montes and Kathryn Bernardo are happy to be working with each other again on a new show. “Siyempre masaya kami kasi ang kinakatakot namin noon, what if magkahiwalay kami? Hindi na kami madalas makakapag-bonding. Kasi dati everyday kaming magkasama. So we’re very thankful to ABS-CBN management for giving us another project. Sobrang saya at kulitan lang kami dito sa set,” said Julia who’s best friends with Kathryn in real life.

Best known as a kontrabida in the hit teleserye Mara Clara, Julia can’t wait for the Kapamilya viewers to see her portray a different character this time around. “Dapat nilang abangan yung role ko dito kasi hindi na siya kontrabida. Siya si Tammy, fun-loving girl pero romantic at heart. Ang saya-saya kasi binigyan ako ng opportunity na maipakita yung different side ko sa pag-arte. Hindi na maiisip ng tao si Clara sa bago kong role. Sana maging maganda ulit yung pagtanggap nila sa bagong proyekto namin ni Kathryn.”

Given her rising showbiz career, Julia is determined to make the most out of every project that comes her way. Although she’s being romantically linked to several Kapamilya actors, she maintained that entertaining suitors is far from her mind right now. “Ang plano ko this year, papakasalan ko work ko. Hahaha! Kasi mahirap yung maraming nangyayari [sa buhay mo]. Basta kung anong priority, yun lang dapat ang focus. Happy naman ako na nagpe-pay off naman yung pinagpapaguran ko.”

Since she already bought a new car with her previous earnings, Julia is planning to build a house for her family in the future. “Kakatapos ko lang bumili ng car. Gusto ko naman mag-invest ako next sa bahay. Lahat naman siguro dream magkaroon ng bonggang bahay. Pero para sa akin, magkaron lang ng sariling akin, ok na sa akin. Simple lang naman ang gusto ko.”

Did she feel relieved when people eventually discovered that the she’s actually sweet and simple in real life? “Siyempre mas naging masaya ako, kasi ang tingin nila dati sa akin as Clara, tapos ganon din ang ugali ko sa totoong buhay. At least mas nakikilala nila kung sino talaga ako off cam.”

Catch Growing Up (This is the time of my life) starring Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes soon on ABS-CBN.
