What is Karla Estrada’s secret in keeping her son, teen heartthrob Daniel Padilla, grounded?
The celebrity mom said she herself did not allow Padilla’s popularity affect their relationship as mother and son.
“Hindi din naman nagbago ‘yung pakikitungo ko. Hindi ko siya tinignan na sikat na ‘yung anak ko, hindi ko binago,” Estrada said.
“’Yung pagmamahal ko sa kanilang magkakapatid, pantay. I guess malaking bagay ‘yon dahil kung makita niyang mas pabor ako sa kanya sa lahat ng bagay baka sakali (lumaki ang ulo ni Daniel).”
“Pero hindi. Kasi ito naman talaga (si Daniel) naturally maganda ang puso. Kasi kahit ano naman ‘yung pagpapalaki nating magulang, indibidwal pa din siyang tao. Kung magiging masama siya ay choice niya yon. Nagkataon na ang choice niya ay maging maayos at makinig pa din sa akin,” Estrada added.
Estrada noted that aside from being humble, her son is also happy being a homebody.
Meanwhile, Estrada said she doesn’t see anything wrong if Padilla decides to change his religion in the future because of Kathryn Bernardo, who is a member of Iglesia Ni Cristo.
“Hindi naman napag-usapan kahit kailan ‘yon, hindi ko siya tinanong pero ako naman, open naman ako for the better. Okay sa akin, wala akong kwestiyon sa relihiyon,” she said, adding that she herself wants to study the Koran.
For his part, Padilla seemed content with whatever he has with Bernardo right now.
“Yun ang tama,” he said when asked why he’s not being linked to other female celebrities. (MNS)
