Kapamilya star Kathryn Bernardo turns 18 on March 26, and although at first she did not like to have a grand debut party, she changed her mind when she realized how big a milestone it is. “Gusto ko lang sana mag-travel to Europe, but I finally decided to celebrate my debut para na rin sa mga fans.”
Her first 18th birthday celebration will happen today on “ASAP 19.” Her grand debut party will be held on March 29 at The Blue Leaf Filipinas. The debut “#Kathryn18 My 18th Birthday Vlog” will be aired on April 6 on ABS-CBN “Sunday’s Best.”
So now that she’s officially becoming an adult, will Kathryn agree to kissing scenes with her leading men? Will she be allowed to have a boyfriend now?
She answers both with a resounding “no.” Her mom, whom she described as a “cool mom” will still be with her anywhere she goes. Her mom will also remain as her financial manager because she feels she cannot handle her own finances yet.
So what does she want to do now that she’s becoming an adult? “I want to travel to Europe, as I’ve always wanted to explore the world. And I’d like to drive my own car now.”
Living on her own is far from Kathryn’s mind. “Hindi pa ako puwede magsarili, I want to still be with my family. Becoming an adult comes with responsibility, alam mo na ang tama at mali.”
Dubbed as the “Teen Queen,” Kathryn started out on “Goin’ Bulilit” when she was seven and went on to appear on “Mara Clara,” “Princess And I” and “Got To Believe.”
Kathryn is very much involved with the preparation of her debut. She had a hand on the theme and motif (which is black, white and pink). Her two gowns are designed by Francis Libiran and Vania Ramoff.
Kathryn said her onscreen love team Daniel Padilla volunteered to be her escort, and he will also be her last dance.
Highlights of her debut are the traditional 18 Roses and 18 Candles where most of her friends in and out of showbiz will take part, including Teodoro Bernardo, Kevin Carlo Bernardo, Lino Cayetano, Neil Coleta, Robi Domingo, Dominique Roque, Khalil Ramos, John Manalo, Enrique Gil, Jhong Hilario, Steven Fermo, Joshua Dionisio, John Valle, Mike Bawa, Marco Alcantara, Dominic Ochoa, Ian Veneracion and Daniel Padilla. In the 18 Candles rite are Julia Montes, Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina, Gretchen Barretto and Kris Aquino.

Il Divo, Lea Enchant Newport Audience
The top multinational operatic-pop quartet, Il Divo, together with our very own Lea Salonga, enchanted Filipino fans when they performed together at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila last March 19.
The sold-out concert was part of Il Divo’s “A Musical Affair” world tour, in celebration of their 10th anniversary in the music industry.
Carlos, Sebastian, Urs and David sang their versions of Broadway hits “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina,” “Somewhere,” “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?” and “The Impossible Dream,” among others. Lea rendered “Defying Gravity,” “I Dreamed A Dream” and “On My Own.” She also did “A Whole New World,” with the group, as with “The Music Of The Night” and the encore, “Time To Say Goodbye.”
