Comedian and talent manager Ogie Diaz refuted allegations that he was the source of speculations surrounding the breakup of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, as well as the rumored connection between Padilla and Andrea Brillantes.
Diaz clarified that he merely mentioned speculations he had heard, consistently noting that these claims were “not confirmed.”
“Ang kinakalat namin ay sana hindi totoo…at laging may ‘hindi pa ito confirmed,'” he said. “Ito naman, ‘yung issue dito [sa Kathniel], ‘yan ‘yung mga kumakalat at bali-balita. Hindi naman sa akin unang nagsimula ‘yan.”
Diaz’s co-host, Mama Loi Villarama, added that only the involved parties can confirm or deny the speculations. Diaz emphasized that it is normal for couples to face misunderstandings and occasionally take some time off.
“Ako naman, naniniwala ako na si Daniel at Kathryn, sila pa rin naman ang ending,” Diaz stated. “Tulad ng hiling ng mga KathNiel at tulad din ng hiling namin sa mga nakaraan na episode, sana hindi totoo ‘yung mga naglalabasan—na hindi sa akin nagsimula ito. Gusto ko lang linawin.”
In Diaz’s previous vlogs, he discussed rumors about the power couple parting ways and Padilla allegedly meeting secretly with Andrea.
Diaz faced criticism from Bernardo and Padilla’s fans for citing unconfirmed information.
While Padilla, Bernardo, and Brillantes have yet to publicly comment on the matter, the actor seemed to dismiss the breakup rumors as he expressed admiration for Bernardo in her recent fashion magazine cover.
