In a recent segment of ‘Cristy Ferminute,’ columnist Cristy Fermin discussed the apparent divergence in career trajectories between former love team partners Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

Cristy Fermin also feels 'vindicated' after KathNiel split

During the episode aired on Friday, February 23, Fermin and her co-host examined the professional activities of various celebrities, including Bernardo and Padilla.

Fermin noted the remarkable frequency of Kathryn’s recent projects, endorsements, and upcoming commitments, suggesting a thriving career and busy schedule.

In contrast, Daniel’s professional endeavors appeared relatively subdued, despite his recent renewal of an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN.

Reflecting on Kathryn’s flourishing career, Fermin remarked, “Latest kay Kathryn Bernardo, alam mo magkakasunod-sunod siguro yung mga ginagawa na TVC o TV commercial ni Kathryn Bernardo ngayong mga panahong ‘to. Sandamakmak! Ano ba yan!”

This observation prompted speculation among viewers that Daniel might feel overshadowed by his former partner’s achievements.

“Dahil dito, sinasabi nila, ‘kawawa naman talaga si Daniel Padilla naiwanan na ng milya-milya ni Kathryn Bernardo’. Hindi po hiningi yan ni Kathryn. At lalong hindi rin hiningi ni Daniel Padilla. Nagkataon lang na ito ang naging kapalaran nilang dalawa,” Fermin elaborated.

Adding to the discussion, co-host Romel highlighted the stark contrast in the professional activities of the two stars. While Kathryn has lined up numerous projects and endorsements, Daniel’s career trajectory appears less defined.

Despite Daniel’s seemingly muted career, his fans remain steadfast in their support, eagerly awaiting his return to the spotlight.
