Daniel Padilla admits that he gave Kathryn Bernardo a list of do's and don'ts

Daniel Padilla says that he has the best intentions for Kathryn Bernardo and is not merely acting like a demanding 'ka-M.U.'

Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo admitted that part of their mutual understanding is not to date anyone else. During an interview, the dashing actor directly asked Kathryn if she still wants to entertain other suitors. “Ano sa tingin mo, pwede pa ba [tayong mag-date ng iba] kung M.U. na? Pwede pa ba yun? Ang alam ko bawal na yun eh.” When Kathryn didn’t immediately answer, Daniel quipped, “Parang gusto mo pa ha? Wala akong binabakuran. Pero M.U. na nga eh. Nagbitaw na tayo ng salita.” Kathryn seemed shy to discuss their love life in front of the press, but she agreed that she doesn’t want to entertain other suitors.

As it is, many believe that they’re already in a relationship because of the way Daniel protects Kathryn like a boyfriend usually does. In fact, Daniel admitted that he was honest enough to make a few do’s and don’ts that the young actress should adhere to. “Oo, meron akong mga request na huwag niya sanang gawin. Hindi ako mahilig magsulat gagawa pa ako ng listahan? (laughs) Binanggit ko na lang. Ganito kasi ‘yan, kapag nagbabawal ako, hindi lang bawal ng bawal, may kapalit na dahilan.”

When asked to give an example of their do’s and don’ts, Kathryn revealed that Daniel encourages her to be more open-minded. “Siguro maging open-minded ako sa mga bagay bagay. Kasi very closed [off] ako. Mas mari-realize mo na tama naman talaga siya. May point naman talaga siya.”

Daniel added that he just wants Kathryn to be more conscious of her actions. “Masyado siyang nako-caught sa moment palagi. Hindi niya naisip yung mga bagay na pwede niyang gawin. So sinasabi ko sa kanya na dapat sensitive ka sa mga ginagawa mo, sa mga actions mo. Oo naman [mature naman na ako para mag-correct kung meron man siya pagkakamali]. Kung mas bata isip ko, ano ng mangyayari sa amin?”

As for the possibility that he could be a strict boyfriend once they formalize their relationship, Daniel was quick to say that he has good intentions towards Kathryn. “Hindi naman ako magiging mas strikto. Okay lang naman ako. Kapag naging kami na, mas madali na kasi mas alam na [naming ang ugali ng isa’t isa]. Pero ang problema nun, kapag nagkamali mas maba-bad trip ka na.”
