Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin has shared unverified information claiming that actor Daniel Padilla is reportedly often intoxicated following his widely discussed breakup with long-time partner Kathryn Bernardo.
The KathNiel couple officially announced their separation on November 30, concluding their decade-long relationship.
During a segment of ‘Cristy Ferminute,’ Fermin mentioned the circulating rumors about Daniel Padilla’s alleged excessive drinking. She raised the question of whether this behavior could be part of a promotional strategy for an alcohol brand he is currently associated with.
Addressing Romel Chika, Fermin said, “Kasi ang balita, lagi raw lango, lagi raw lasing ngayon si ano, si Daniel. Ano bang masasabi mo doon?” Romel responded by suggesting that, given the challenging circumstances of a breakup, such behavior might be a natural coping mechanism.
Romel further commented, “Naku, eh siyempre natural lang naman ‘yan sa mga naghihiwalay ‘di ba ang lalake, siyempre ‘yun ang pampalakas, pampalipas oras at pangtanggal ng kung anu-anong iniisip, ang pag-inom. Pero ito kasi, kitang-kita sa boses niya na parang nabubulol na, kaya sinabi ko rin na nag-live siya na medyo ngenge na.”
Cristy added, “Alam mo, ako rin naman si Daniel, kung ganyan kasakit ang naganap sa akin, siguro ang kakampi ko rin ngayon eh alak, huwag na lang sana siyang kumampi pa sa ibang bisyo, alak na lang. At least wala siyang problema… Ang masakit lang pagkatapos ng espiritu nung alak, balik sa reyalidad ‘di ba.”
The unexpected breakup of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla surprised fans who believed the couple, together for 11 years, was on the path to marriage. Despite the confirmation of their separation, Daniel did not explicitly state the reasons behind the split.
