Just recently, Kathryn Bernardo did not discard differences with Daniel Padilla would cause misunderstandings. She admits being exact opposite with him in many ways. This has led others to opine their lassitude for each other might cause the duo’s break up sooner than expected.

“Frankly, the more we take each other for what we are. We feel our relationship goes stronger, not bound to split as what others predict. And we accept each other faults. Yan ang susi sa pagtibay ng aming relasyon.” Kathryn was quoted as saying.

Trivia:
A showbiz pal recounted to me that she came across seasoned, multi-awarded actress Perla Bautista who sent best regards to me, praying for my good health. Naturally, my decades of friendship with Perla rang a bell anew in my mind. For it so happened she’s my original chum in showbiz.
Bur prior to her acting job, Perla was already my chum. As a college student at Lyceum of the Philippines, she joined the Miss Manila Red Cross where I met her through my dentist- sister who was a Red Cross volunteer. We had developed instant closeness, especially when she emerged a runner up in the said tilt.
One time, Perla contacted me to report that she was discovered by LVN Pictures under the late Narcisa de Leon who handed her an introductory role in a film titled Venganza. As a tyro Perla received at once the FAMAS best supporting actress nomination which proved her inherent versatility.
Eventually, the late producer Atty. Esperidion Laxa of Tagalog Ilang Ilang outfit launched Perla to stardom via Markang Rehas, opposite Joseph Estrada. Interestingly, Perla, Joseph won the FAMAS best actress, actor awards in that flick. Thus, both made several movies together with the distinction one of the top three love teams then.
In often communication, Perla confided her real romance with Joseph which she opted to discontinue upon the return of Erap’s wife Dr. Loi Ejercito from abroad who reconciled with him. Curiously, rather than having ill-feelings, Perla and Loi became chummy to one another. To the point, she opened up to Perla about her problems with Erap.
For some time, Perla spent years in Hong Kong where she tackled a lead role in a Chinese film, opposite a famous Hong Kong star. Later, it was our mutual friend Amalia Fuentes who told me that Perla married businessman Dodong del Rosario of the noted DRB Brothers business, sired their only child Jude del Rosario.
Due to unsuccessful partnership, Perla enplaned back to the Philippines, with Jude. Many producers still hired her to star in flicks, even a reteaming with Erap in Patapon that was a blockbuster that put to the fore anew their popularity. The two garnered anew acting awards anew for Patapon and later she got best supporting actress trophy in Nang Bumuka ang Sampaguita and Mga Bulaklak sa City Jail.
This writer can’t forget that Perla gave me rosary and a prayer book before I left for Canada, knowing my religious nature just like her. This time Perla’s still active in TV shows and indie films. Our communication still exists through the face book account of his son Jude.
