Kathryn still prefers 'teenybopper' roles

Young actress Kathryn Bernardo said she is not yet ready to follow the path of her “Mara Clara” co-star Julia Montes.

Unlike Montes, who is now Coco Martin’s leading lady in the television series “Walang Hanggan,” Bernardo said she still prefers to portray “teenybopper” roles.

“Ako kasi, kahit patandain mo ako hindi rin kapanipaniwala eh. For teenybopper roles lang yung sakin muna,” she told Push.com.ph.

Meanwhile, Bernardo said she is saddened now that her youth-oriented Sunday show “Growing Up” is about to end.

"Ito yung show na 1st time ko kinonsider na family lahat. Ang saya-saya, super. The best sila,” she said.

Bernardo and Montes are on “Growing Up.”

Julia OK to be paired with different actors

Julia Montes has no complaints that she is being paired with different actors in her various projects.

Speaking to Push.com.ph, Montes said what she considers more important is the quality of the projects given to her.

“Para sa akin, wala naman akong against sa paiba-iba ng love team. Go lang ako basta maganda yung project at yung character ko,” she said.

Montes is currently paired with actor Coco Martin in the ABS-CBN primetime series “Walang Hanggan.”

The actress said she is really comfortable working with Martin because he is a great and professional actor.

“Si Coco, maalaga siya in a way na kapag break aasikasuhin ka niya, tapos sa scene aalalayan ka. Lalo na kapag yung mga scene na alam mong alanganin. Tulad nung eksenang binuhat niya ako sa burol, he made sure na talagang hindi ako masasaktan dun sa pagbuhat niya sa akin,” she said.

Apart from Martin, Montes is also set to work with actor Enrique Gil for a movie under Star Cinema.

“Nakatrabaho ko na noon si Enrique sa ‘Way Back Home’. Excited ako kasi doon kami ni Sam Concepcion yung magka-partner, tapos naging Sam-Kathryn (Bernardo). Tapos kami naman ni Enrique ngayon so interesting yung switch,” she said.

According to the actress, she does not mind having two partners. She said she is just grateful that a lot of blessings are continuously coming her way.

“Sana forever ng 2012! Siyempre masaya ako. Hindi ko ma-explain kasi hindi ko ine-expect na itong taon na ito magiging ganito ako ka-blessed. Sabi nga nila magiging fruitful itong taon na ito para sa akin, sana tuloy-tuloy lang,” she said.
