Hindi naman nila ako binibigyan ng</i> special treatment, <i>wala namang ganun.</i> Feeling <i>ko</i> normal student<i> lang ako pag</i> Saturday. <i>Kilala yung </i>school for culinary but they also offer marketing and then <i>yun ang kinukuha kong</i> course,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Kath said there is definitely no celebrity treatment on their campus. “<i>Parang</i> no <i>naman. Parang wala namang ganun. Hindi naman pumapasok yung mga</i> fans<i> sa </i>school.<i> Pag</i> taping <i>nga, yung mga</i> fans <i>na-e-</i>excite<i> rin sila para sa akin dahil sa</i> schooling <i>ko. Nagigin</i>g normal college girl <i>ako</i>,” she shared.</div><div><br/></div><div>Despite her hectic work schedule, Kath said she still wants to prioritize her studies after putting them on hold for<i> Princess and I.</i> “<i>Kinakaya ko pa naman siya. Basta pag</i> Tuesdays after <i>ng</i> morning class <i>ko puwede na akong dumiretso</i> from work and then <i>pag</i> Saturdays as in blocked off for my school lang the whole day. <i>Wini</i>-work out<i> naman </i>with production <i>yung</i> schedule so okay <i>lahat sila tumutulong para mapagsabay ko yung </i>school <i>ko</i> with my work.<i> Kinakaya ko pa naman siya ngayon</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Even though she does not get to go out as much, Kath said she is happy to be pursuing her studies again. She says going on “gimiks” have to take a backseat for now. “<i>Wala na eh</i>, actually M-W-F sched yun for my taping and then yung iba dun Tuesday or Thursday for my shooting for <i>Pagpag</i> (her upcoming MMFF horror film with Daniel Padilla under Star Cinema) then Saturday <i>sa</i> school <i>ako tapos</i> Sundays <i>naman ASAP</i> so<i> wala ng </i>time<i> talaga</i>, she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>When it comes to her finances, Kath said she is lucky to always have her mom Min Bernardo by her side to put aside her earnings for her education and future investments. “<i>Yung</i> mom<i> ko nag-ha</i>-handle <i>ng</i> money<i> ko kasi ako hindi ko pa rin kaya na ako lang. Pero sinisigurado naman niya na meron din akong</i> allowance for my shopping or for <i>kung ano yung gusto ko. Pero hindi naman yung parati. Yung pag</i> you work hard for it, <i>may</i> reward <i>ka, ganyan</i>. And my mom <i>naman talaga, siya yung nag-aasikaso ng lahat ng kinikita ko kaya </i>super sure<i> ako na</i> safe<i> naman siya. Hindi rin naman ako yung parang pag may nakita ako bibilhin ko na agad siya kahit</i> pricey <i>yung isang bagay. Ayun, kailangan talaga pag-isipan lalo na ngayon na</i> aware<i> ako na mahirap kitain ang pera</i> (laughs),” she admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>Watch Kathryn Bernardo with Daniel Padilla in the upcoming Primetime Bida series <i>Got to Believe</i> starting August 26 on ABS-CBN.
