JERRY OLEA

Is Kathryn Bernardo the Most Desirable Filipina today?

Rumors swirled that Alden Richards was courting Kathryn even before their reunion movie Hello, Love, Again was released on November 13, 2024 .

The KathDen reunion movie is the highest-grossing Filipino movie in history, not adjusted for inflation. It grossed PHP1.6B at the box office.

There are rumors that Kathryn and Alden will team up again in the Filipino adaptation of the K-drama Queen of Tears .

JERICHO ROSALES

There was an overlap in the rumors that Jericho Rosales was also flirting with Daniel Padilla ‘s ex .

Take note that 45-year-old Jericho played Angelo Buenavista in the original teleserye Pangako Sa ‘Yo (November 2000-September 2002), where Kristine Hermosa played Yna Macaspac.

In the remake of Pangako Sa ‘Yo (May 2015-February 2016), Kathryn plays Yna, and Angelo is Daniel.

Andrea Brillantes is also in the cast as Lia Buenavista, Angelo’s younger sister.

The romance between the OG Angelo and the new Yna was interrupted.

MARK ALCALA AND DONNY PANGILINAN

There are other cases linked to 29-year-old Kathryn.

There was the 28-year-old mayor of Lucena City , Mark Alcala , who is Ashley Ortega’s ex-boyfriend.

In Season 7 of Pilipinas Got Talent ( PGT ), Kathryn will be joined as a judge by Freddie “FMG” Garcia, Donny Pangilinan , and Eugene Domingo.

Rumor has it that this is a litmus test for KathDon’s chemistry. It’s said that Kathryn and Donny might be better suited to team up in the remake of Queen of Tears.

Someone threatened PGT host Robi Domingo. He said he shouldn’t ship 27-year-old Donny to Kathryn, or else…

Take note that Donny’s loveteam, Belle Mariano, guest starred in the Kapamilya teleserye Incognito , where Daniel Padilla is one of the seven stars.

DAVID LICAUCO

At Body of Work: The Bench Show on March 21, 2025 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, Alden was the opening act and Kathryn was the finale.

There was no highlight of them going out together. The star-studded fashion extravaganza — where Kapuso and Kapamilya joined forces — was Kathryn and SB19.

During the curtain call, Kathryn had a moment with David Licauco.

30-year-old David has always been vocal about his idols being Kathryn and Daniel, and David’s dream is to be in a Star Cinema project with Kathryn, even if it’s just for support.

KathDav is exciting, or is it KathVid?

CHRISTIAN SINGSON

During the press conference for the movie Beyond the Call of Duty on April 1, Tuesday, at former Governor Chavit Singson’s mansion in Corinthian Gardens, his son Christian Singson admitted that it was his dream to work with Kathryn.

“He’s so good. I salute his acting!” exclaimed 28-year-old Christian.

It was just a dream and Christian had no intention of wooing Kathryn because he was already engaged.

Christian is also in the cast of the movie Samahan ng mga Makasalanan starring David Licauco, which will be released on April 19, Black Saturday.

Chavit is the producer of Samahan ng mga Makasalan and Beyond the Call of Duty .

What if Chavit produces a movie starring Kathryn, and Christian is in the cast?

ABS-CBN BALL 2025

At Brighter Together: The ABS-CBN Ball 2025 on April 4, Friday, at Solaire North, Quezon City, the brightest stars were Vice Ganda and Kathryn.

Daniel was also present, as was the eye-catching Andrea Brillantes.

As far as I know, this is the first event that Pangako Sa ‘Yo stars Kathryn, Daniel, and 22-year-old Andrea have come together — after the official announcement of the KathNiel breakup on November 30, 2023.

And here it is… the intriguing case of Daniel and Kyle Echarri getting heated because of Kathryn surfaced.

Juan Karlos (who was in the remake of Pangako Sa ‘Yo ) and Richard Gutierrez are involved in the matter.

Is this Incognito vs Senior High ?! Kathryn’s hair is so long!!!

NOEL FERRER

Yes, it seems like anything Kathryn Bernardo does becomes big news.

It was as if Team Incognito and Team Senior High were involved.

But I got this from an insider — it seems like Daniel Padilla was no longer naive during those times regarding the alleged chaos at the ABS-CBN Ball involving Kathryn and Kyle.

At least, na-set ang record straight.

Another class too!

If at the GMA Gala in July 2024 the aftermath was sexual harassment, at the ABS-CBN Gala it seems the effects of flowing alcohol are being discussed.

Is it really like that when there are parties?!

Oh, we’re already at the uncle-aunt stage and are somewhat exempt from these kinds of concerns.

GORGY RULA

Several people close to Kathryn Bernardo’s camp were questioned by the PEP Troika.

The actress was reportedly accompanied by others throughout the event at Solaire North, even though Kyle Echarri, Dolly de Leon, Piolo Pascual, Juan Karlos, Donny Pangilinan, and Belle Mariano were there.

As far as they know, Kathryn did not go up to Skybar for the after-party.

Someone noticed right there at the ABS-CBN Ball that Kyle and Daniel were already having a bit of a fight.

Richard Gutierrez was also there with the rest of Incognito .

That could be the reason why Kathryn didn’t go to the after-party, so she has no idea if there was really a problem at Skybar.

Maybe Kyle’s touchy-feely attitude toward Kathryn was just misinterpreted.

One person we interviewed said that Kyle is like the “baby-baby” of the group, as he is the youngest and has a mischievous nature. Kyle’s closeness to Kathryn is not malicious, he said.

But because of that issue, the Box-office Queen became even more desirable, and even those linked or involved with her became the talk of the town.

WHO IS KENNETH?

On Sunday night, April 6, 2025, #Kenneth, which Kathryn mentioned on Pilipinas Got Talent, was trending .

Kenneth was said to be the actress’s first crush when she was still in Grade 2.

Kathryn told this to her fellow judges and hosts on Pilipinas Got Talent.

He said: “My crush, I was probably in Grade 2 in our province.

“The first time ever, he was a mixed-race man. Well, if I had a crush on him, I wouldn’t talk to him even more.”

“You won’t even feel it, even if you hang me, I won’t admit that I have a crush on you, that’s what.”

Melai Cantveros forced him to tell her who it was.

“Okay. His name is Kenneth,” Kathryn said with a smile.

There you go! Netizens have been searching for who this “Kenneth” was, Kathryn’s first crush, and they found a post on Facebook that he is now a doctor.

A picture appeared on X, but it was not confirmed whether he is really the Kenneth that Kathryn was referring to.

It seems that the life of “Kenneth,” Kathryn Bernardo’s first crush, is now in turmoil.
