MANILA, Philippines – Kathryn Bernardo is still fresh from the success of her film Hello, Love, Goodbye, and amid all the celebrations, she wrote a touching message to her boyfriend, Daniel Padilla, who she said was her "source of inspiration while I was filming the movie."
On Instagram, Kathryn posted a series of photos of her and Daniel.
"He was my support system, my rock, my strength. We were hundreds of miles away from each other but not once did he make me feel alone," she wrote in the caption.
"There were times I almost gave up—I felt exhausted, drained, and too lonely as I was too immersed in the character of Joy. It was one of the hardest things I’ve experienced both on and off cam. But this guy, he kept me going."
She said that the photos she posted were the ones they sent each other every day while they apart and she was filming in Hong Kong – "just random silly selfies, but they kept me going."
"I had a pillow with his t-shirt and scent on, which I hugged every night and every time I felt like crying. I know it sounds a bit childish, but that also kept me going. DJ, my love, YOU KEPT ME GOING," she said.
"Since day one, you were my biggest supporter and my number one cheerleader. I know how hard it was for you to let go of my hand, but despite that you still allowed me to fly.You know how scared I was being away from you too, but you stayed strong for the both of us. You kept reminding me, 'Kaya mo yan, mahal. Konti nalang (you can do it, love, just a litte bit more)!' You never gave up, you never gave me a reason to doubt myself or us," she continued.
She ended her post by saying that "thank you" would not be enough to express how she feels, and said "it was your love that made all of this possible."
"I hope I made you proud, my love. I couldn’t have done this without you by my side," she said. "Your success is mine; my success is yours."
View this post on Instagram So I just came from our thanksgiving party and was finally able to thank the many people who were instrumental to the success of #HelloLoveGoodbye (you guys know who you are). However, there is one person I wasn’t able to mention—and he deserves this ENTIRE post. This person was not only my source of inspiration while I was filming the movie. He was my support system, my rock, my strength. We were hundreds of miles away from each other but not once did he make me feel alone. There were times I almost gave up—I felt exhausted, drained, and too lonely as I was too immersed in the character of Joy. It was one of the hardest things I’ve experienced both on and off cam. But this guy, he kept me going. These are just some of the photos we sent each other every day—just random silly selfies, but they kept me going. I had a pillow with his t-shirt and scent on, which I hugged every night and every time I felt like crying. I know it sounds a bit childish, but that also kept me going. DJ, my love, YOU KEPT ME GOING. Since day one, you were my biggest supporter and my number one cheerleader. I know how hard it was for you to let go of my hand, but despite that you still allowed me to fly You know how scared I was being away from you too, but you stayed strong for the both of us. You kept reminding me, “Kaya mo yan, mahal. Konti nalang!” You never gave up, you never gave me a reason to doubt myself or us. So to be honest, “thank you” is not enough to cover everything I feel—because it was your love that made all of this possible. I hope I made you proud, my love. I couldn’t have done this without you by my side. Your success is mine; my success is yours. A post shared by Kathryn Bernardo (@bernardokath) on Sep 3, 2019 at 8:12am PDT
