Ate niya ako</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Despite being compared often to each other, the actress remarked that there is no competition between the two of them. “‘<i>Yung tao sa paligid namin pinagbabangga kami,</i> <i>pero dahil nga magkaibigan kami at bago pa lang kami magsimula iba na ‘yung</i> friendship <i>namin. Hindi lang ‘yung</i> friendship <i>dahil magka</i>-work<i> lang kami. Kumbaga may lalim. Kahit anong pagbangga sa amin, wala</i>, never <i>naging </i>issue <i>sa amin,</i>” she commented.</div><div><br/></div><div>On the issue that Julia is already upstaging Kathryn when it comes to acting because she’s doing more mature roles, the <i>Muling Buksan Ang Puso</i> star commented, “<i>Siguro kasi nasasabi ‘yan lang ng tao kasi mas</i> matured ‘<i>yung tinahak kong role at siya ‘yung nasa age niya pa rin pero pareho pa rin naman kami. Iba lang talaga ‘yung kumbaga ‘yung </i>category <i>ng</i> work <i>namin</i> as teenagers, as Kathryn and Julia.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Another star is being compared to her is Julia Barretto who is also to top-bill a new show soon. When asked by the press if she’s threatened by the budding star, the actress commented, “<i>Ako po para sa akin, hindi naman po siguro kasi magkakaiba naman kami,</i> <i>bawat artista may sari-sariling personalidad, </i>character.” She added that they all started differently in the industry, thus, there is no need to compare. “<i>Siguro ibang-iba kami kasi ako galing ako sa</i> kiddie shows, <i>kumbaga iba ‘yung pinagmulan namin.</i>”</div><div><br/></div>
