PIOLO PASCUAL BREAKS HIS SILENCE: REVEALS TENSION BETWEEN DANIEL PADILLA AND KYLE ECHARRI OVER KATHRYN BERNARDO

In a surprising turn of events that has shocked fans across the country, seasoned actor Piolo Pascual has spoken out for the first time about the rumored feud between Daniel Padilla and Kyle Echarri, both of whom have been romantically linked—directly or indirectly—to the country’s “Box-Office Queen,” Kathryn Bernardo.

Behind the Scenes: The Growing Cold War

According to Piolo, he personally witnessed the growing distance and tension between the two Kapamilya stars during a project where all three of them were present. Although he initially wanted to stay neutral, he could no longer ignore the evident emotional divide.

“You can feel it. There’s definitely a wall between them. They used to be warm with each other, but now… they barely talk. Something happened, and it’s personal,” Piolo shared in an interview.

Kathryn at the Center?

Rumors began swirling when Kyle Echarri was repeatedly spotted with Kathryn at various social gatherings and media events. While both have insisted that they are “just friends,” Daniel’s close circle suggests otherwise. Sources claim that Daniel, who dated Kathryn for more than a decade, still harbors deep feelings for her, and he felt blindsided by Kyle’s closeness to his former girlfriend.

“Even if they’re no longer together, there’s a thing called respect. And that seems to be the issue here,” said Piolo.

Daniel’s Alleged Confrontation

An insider reported that Daniel confronted Kyle in private, telling him:

“I thought we were brothers. If you respected our past, you wouldn’t be doing this.”

The confrontation reportedly left Kyle shocked and defensive. While he denied having any romantic intentions toward Kathryn, Daniel felt betrayed, believing Kyle had crossed a line.

Online Reactions: A Divided Fanbase

As soon as the news broke, netizens took to social media, sparking heated discussions and divided opinions:

“Daniel deserves respect. You don’t go after your bro’s ex.”

“Kathryn is free to love whoever she wants. Don’t pin this on her.”

“Kyle is young. Maybe he didn’t realize how deep Daniel’s wounds are.”

Some fans even trended the hashtag #RespectDaniel and #ProtectKathryn, showing their support for both stars.

Piolo’s Plea for Peace

Piolo, who is known for being a mediator in the industry, ended his statement with a hopeful message:

“They’re both talented, and this industry is too small for grudges. I just hope they sort it out like men. We all go through heartaches, but friendship should always be bigger than pride.”

What’s Next?

As the entertainment world watches closely, several questions remain unanswered:

Will Kathryn break her silence and address the rumors?

Will Daniel and Kyle reconcile?

Could this rift affect future projects in ABS-CBN?

One thing is certain: this real-life drama is far from over—and the Filipino showbiz industry may never be the same.

DANIEL, KYLE FIGHT OVER KATHRYN
There was no fight, in fairness, but there was some tension, because Daniel noticed that his ex-girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo was uncomfortable with Kyle being “touchy.”

Kyle and Kathryn were together at the ABS-CBN Ball after-party themed “Brighter Together.” Also with them were Dolly de Leon, Donny Pangilinan, and Belle Mariano.

So, the two almost got sick at Skybar, and other artists were caught up in the chaos.

The stars of the fight did not talk. No explanations, no comments.
