“Goin’ Bulilit” Director Edgar Mortiz makes a heartwarming revelation about Kathryn Bernardo
KATHRYN BERNARDO – The actress served as the “sponsor” for one of her former co-stars on the kiddie gag show, “Goin’ Bulilit”, when the latter’s father passed away.
The heartwarming story was shared by the director of “Goin’ Bulilit,” Edgar Mortiz, during the contract signing of Kathryn with ABS-CBN. In a video message, Mortiz revealed how Kathryn sponsored the education of a fellow “Bulilit” actor when the actor’s father passed away.
“Ang hindi ko alam na ginagawa pala ni Kathryn na natuwa ako, nakita ko ‘yung nanay ng isang ‘Bulilit’ tapos ikinuwento niya sa ‘kin nu’ng namatay ang tatay ng ‘Bulilit’ na ‘to, ang nagpaaral sa kanya, si Kathryn. Doon ko lang nalaman,” the director shared. “Tuwang-tuwa ako na, hindi pala siya nakalimot sa mga kasama niya. Proud na proud ako kay Kathryn,” he added.
According to Kath, she simply fulfilled the dream of her batchmate’s father from “Goin’ Bulilit” to see them graduate from college. “During that time, the dad, naging kaibigan namin ni Mama (Min Bernardo), alam mo ‘yun, sabay kakain and then for a time nag-stop mag-artista ‘yung tao na ‘to,” he said. “And then, naka-receive kami ng message from the mom na ito ‘yung nangyari sa dad tsaka hindi na rin siya nag-artista,” the ex-girlfriend of Daniel Padilla shared.
The Kapamilya actress also believes that it’s only right to help the former child star because she knows them to be intelligent and hardworking. She didn’t mention the name of her friend. “Bilang nakasama mo, siyempre tutulong ka hangga’t kaya mo. ‘Yun ‘yung promise namin ni Mama sa dad niya na tutulungan ka namin,” she said. “Kasi ito ‘yung isa sa dreams ng dad niya sa kanya, na makatapos ng college because he’s so smart and alam mo rin ‘yung mga tao na masarap tulungan kasi masipag,” she added.
