Pero pag naman kasi ako lang, hindi ko rin pinapansin yung mga</i> haters <i>eh. Wala, hindi naman ako naaapektuhan masyado kasi </i>part <i>yun eh, hindi mo naman ma-pi-</i>please <i>lahat so okay lang</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The 17-year-old admitted she was affected when the trolls (online bashers) started sending her unpleasant messages earlier this year. “<i>Siyempre nung </i>start<i> naaapektuhan ako pero ngayon parang pag pinansin mo kasi sila, mas gusto nila yun eh </i>so <i>ba’t kailangan mo sila pansin. Mas marami naman yung nagpapasaya sayo, yung nag-su</i>-support<i> sa ‘yo di ba?</i> So <i>ba’t mo ba-</i>badtrip-<i>pin sarili mo dahil lang sa isang </i>basher or <i>kung iilan ilan lang sila</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Kath also did not like the fact that her mother also  became a target for bashing. “<i>Dun ako nainis kasi pati si</i> mama <i>jinu</i>-judge <i>nila, ganun. Pero sinabi ko kay</i> mama <i>na huwag pansinin kasi kawawa na lang sila kasi naaawa ako sa kanila kasi bakit sila ganun magsalita, siguro hindi sila nakapaag-aral </i>or bored<i> na</i> bored<i> na sila sa buhay nila. Pero ewan ko, ayoko na lang sila patulan, kung bata man yun or matanda kumbaga. Parang respeto na lang din sa mom ko na huwag naman nila idamay. Sana huwag na lang nila idamay si </i>mama <i>pero wala, hindi na lang naming pinapansin, ganun. Yun na lang siguro yung </i>best <i>na gawin. Sana huwag na lang nila idamay si</i> mama<i> kasi parang ako yung nababastusan sa ginagawa nila eh pero ayun kung ayaw pa rin talaga nila, </i>well <i>deadma lang, hindi na lang naming papansin. </i>You can’t please everyone <i>talaga. </i>So <i>sa </i>bright side <i>naman, ang dami naming nagtatanggol at sumusuporta</i> so <i>hindi naming sisirain yung araw naming sa isang nag-ba-</i>bash <i>di ba?</i>” she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>As a guest performer for Daniel's upcoming birthday concert, Kath said she is not yet sure what she will be performing with DJ. Although she has already reportedly given DJ a bass guitar, Kath said she has yet to prepare a gift for him on his actual birthday. “<i>Wala pa talaga, hindi ko alam. Nag-iisip pa. Yun yung isang pinoproblema ko ngayon kasi ilang </i>days <i>na lang di ba?</i> So I don’t know, <i>wala pa. Hindi ko alam kung magpapa-</i>party <i>ba sila Tita</i> Karla (Estrada, DJ’s mom) or <i>anong plano pero parang</i> concert <i>na yung parang</i> celebration<i> niya,</i>” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The teen actress said she might even have a surprise gift for her “ka-M.U.” “<i>Siyempre kung ano man ang meron, hindi ko naman sasabihin kasi </i>surprise <i>nga siya</i> (laughs)<i> basta tingnan na lang natin kung ano ang mangyayari,</i>” she added.</div><div><br/></div><div>Kath said she and DJ are already starting preparations for their next series together. “<i>Sa</i> May <i>ata pero parang </i>next week <i>mag-lu-</i>look test <i>na kami. Nag-</i>makeup test<i> pa lang kami</i> eh <i>pero wala pa talaga, wala pang</i> story. So<i> siguro baka sa</i> May <i>pa kami mag-</i>start so <i>ngayon </i>more on <i>sa</i> school <i>muna talaga ako</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The morena beauty also gave a message for her fans who weren't able to attend her post-birthday fans’ day held last week in Marikina city. “Sorry <i>muna kasi </i>limited<i> lang kasi yung mga kinuha naming mga</i> fans<i> parang </i>ten persons per group <i>para maasikaso din sila at saka</i> organized. <i>Pero</i> hopefully <i>magkaron ulit ng</i> part two <i>para lahat naman sila ma-</i>accommodate. Thank you <i>sa mga nag-ti</i>-tweet <i>sa akin, yung mga nagtatanggol sa akin at sa aking</i> mama. <i>At sa mga nanunuod ng Must Be Love na tuloy-tuloy pa ring nanunuod</i> until now. <i>Maraming salamat and sana magkita kita tayo sa susunod na</i> fans’ day,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>For more Kapamilya updates, log on daily to Push and follow <a href='https://twitter.com/Push_Mina'>Push_Mina</a> on Twitter.</div><div><br/></div>
