Karla Estrada denies son Daniel Padilla performed drunk at a show

Karla Estrada defends son Daniel Padilla on allegations that he was drunk in front of a 20,000-strong crowd.

After recently making a new commercial with her eldest son Daniel Padilla, Karla Estrada said she feels lucky to get the chance to finally do a project with her son. “Siyempre masaya ako, sobrang blessed. Masarap yung pinagkakatiwalaan ka ng hindi naman basta-bastang mga produkto. This came two months ago. Malaking bahagi ito sa kung ano man yung gusto namin matupad na pangarap,” she shared during the Lily’s Peanut Butter presscon held last July 2 in Quezon City. Karla said that she always asks DJ’s opinions when it comes to what products he wants to represent. “Meron din si Daniel na participation, siyempre kailangan namin siya tanungin kung gusto niya yung produkto. Kasi siya ang mag-e-endorse nun eh, hindi ako,” she said.

Karla said that she wants her son to do things that are age appropriate like endorsing only wholesome products for now. “Kasi i-be-base i age and mga fans na nagsusubaybay kasi ang gusto namin kasama niyang tatanda ang mga fans niya. At meron naman tayong nakikitang mga fans as young as four years old,” she shared.

The loving mom also addressed the nasty rumor about her son allegedly performing drunk in front of a big crowd. “Hindi totoo yun, unang-una wala kaming pini-perform-an na may nanuod na 20,000. Bongga sana yun kung totoo noh? Yung may pinakamaraming tao was in Araneta Coliseum, mga nasa 15,000, wala pang 20,000. Hindi totoo yan. Hindi puwedeng mangyari yun, kung gusto niya mag-taping siya ng walang ipin (laughs),” she explained.

After admitting that with DJ’s rising popularity also came a lot of intrigues, Karla said she has learned to ignore it. “Hindi ako naapektuhan kasi alam ko naman every day sinasabihan ko siya, ‘Anak, pag lumabas ka ng bahay, ang number one is huwag kang nagpapasama ng loob ng ibang tao.’ And bilang hindi naman siya perpekto, tao lang din, so hindi natin ma-pe-perfect lahat yun ‘di ba? So kung gumawa siya ng mga bagay na wala na ako sa tabi niya, eh siya na ang haharap na responsible sa mga bagay na yun,” she said.

The talented actress also said she is not a strict parent when it comes to certain things. But she wants her son to act professionally when it comes to work. “Strikto ako sa damdamin ng ibang tao. Pero yung mga paglalaro at pagpupuyat, eh siya naman ang magbabayad nun. Ang important huwag lang siya ma-late. Kasi yung sinasabi ko na huwag magpapasama ng loob ng ibang tao, yan ang magiging dahilan nun, ang ma-late ka, mag-aantay sa ‘yo, hindi ka nag-smile, hindi ka nagpa-picture, lahat lahat kasi yan maraming dahilan so isa lang ang lagi kong sinasabi sa kanya, but of course tao pa rin yan ano, hindi nga nagiging perfect, napapagod din. So sa ganung bagay intindihin ng iba sana minsan. Ang mahirap kasi minsan mas hinahanapan natin ng mali eh,” she admitted.

When not at work, Karla revealed that DJ is more of a homebody. Which makes it easier for her to check up on him. “Not really very strict kasi bata pa eh. So ayoko naman na ang pag-uusapan namin lagi at pag-uumpisahan ng conversation ay yung love life. So I want it very light lang at medyo maluwag. Sorry hindi dahil anak ko siya. Si Daniel kasi doesn’t go out. Wala siyang nightlife so pag after work nasa bahay yan. Pagdating sa bahay andun lahat yan, PS3, basketball. So nandudun lahat so minsan nagmamadali siyang umuwi and okay naman for me,” she said.

Karla said her son is really becoming an adult now because he does not want her to kiss him in public anymore. “Eh minsan hindi ko mapigilan kasi sobra akong cuddly sa mga anak. Tapos bad trip na siya. So eto, nung gagawin namin ang commercial together, talagang hindi niya ito kinakaya. Sabi niya, ‘My God Ma, huwag kang makulit ah.’ Ganyan, ganyan (laughs),” said the new Lily’s Peanut Butter endorser.
