SEVERAL celebrities got engaged in the past year and in the first few days of 2021, like former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate Patrick Sugui and social media influencer Aeriel Garcia, who announced their engagement after two years together, last month.
And in line with this, the couple’s friends Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo were quizzed if they plan to follow suit, especially since they have been together for almost nine years now.
Speaking during the finale press conference of “The House Arrest of Us” on Wednesday, Padilla stressed that their timeline as a couple remains unchanged and they still do not want to rush into anything.
“Hindi namin puwedeng biglain ‘yung mga ganyang bagay. Sa amin ha? Siyempre iba-iba naman ang trip ng lahat. Pero kami kasi parang nakaplano ‘yun, nakalista ‘yung mga dapat naming gawin para hindi rin kami ma-rattle sa mga decision na gagawin namin,” he said.
The actor noted that if they hurry into getting engaged and eventually settling down, this might just cause problems in the future.
“Kapag binigla niyo ‘yung isa’t isa, doon papasok ang mga problema. Kapag masyadong biglaan ang mga bagay, baka dun kami biglang magkaproblema. Nilalatag muna namin ang mga bagay, pinaplano namin,” he said.
Bernardo, on the other hand, said they would settle with their roles as a bridesmaid and groomsman for now before they think of their own wedding.
“Chill muna tayo. May mga kaibigan kaming engaged. Duty namin maging best bridesmaid and groomsman muna. Iba din naman ‘yung age namin sa kanila. Like what DJ said kanina, iba-iba tayo ng timing lahat. Kami siguro komportable kami na bago tumalon sa ganyang klaseng buhay, kailangan ready kami. Ayaw namin na masira ‘yung relationship just because hindi kami ready pareho,” she said.
“‘Yun ‘yung natutunan namin sa ‘The Hows of Us’ na kailangan pareho kayong ready and ‘yung pamilya namin ready. Baka mahimatay si mama and Tita Karla kapag biglang sinurprise namin sila. Aayusin muna namin ‘yung sa mga kaibigan naming ikakasal. Huwag tayo magpa-pressure just because nag-propose sila, dapat kami na din,” she added. (ABS-CBN)
