KathNiel Returns To Big Screen in The Hows of Us

The tandem of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla returns to the big screen again with a new film that may bring you to tears.

The film is directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, who previously directed Bernardo and Padilla in blockbuster film She's Dating the Gangster and hit prime time series Got 2 Believe.  Set to retire in 2019, box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina is counting down to her last four films, starting with her fifth major project with two young superstars she considers her "anak-anakan," or children in the industry.

"The Hows Of Us" follows the story of couple Primo (Daniel Padilla) and George (Kathryn Bernardo) who are in a long-term relationship and are already building and planning their future together.

Their love will be put to the test as their relationship faces hurdles - from misunderstandings to different career paths, among others. 

On the grand media launch of The Hows of Us,  KathNiel confirms relationship of 5 years

The media began to squeeze the two more about their real relationship status when Daniel himself volunteered to call himself Kathryn’s “boyfriend.”

“Relasyon na pang-FB. Sa lahat ng relasyon, hindi ganun eh. ‘Yung amin ni Kath, it’s a 24/7 job na maging malupit na boyfriend. Kahit ako struggling ako,” he said when asked what their relationship is like.

Their real relationship status, they said, is “happy.” If they are to label it, they would call themselves “students of love” because they are learning about each other day-by-day.

“Sa personal at propesyonal, s’ya lang ang kasama ko. Happy ako ngayon,” Daniel enthused.

The two attested that they came forward to show the world what they really are, and not just for publicity’s sake.

On the trailer of The Hows of Us, Kathryn has some scenes where she exposed more skin because of her outfits. One such scene was shot in a house where Kathryn’s character was wearing short shorts. When Kathryn asked about this she answered,

“That’s why I take my time, like when they offer me projects, iniisip ko kung, ‘Okay, tama ba ito?’ ‘Pag masyadong sinagad ‘yung maturity, ‘pag masobrahan ka of anything, delikado, kasi saan ka pa pupunta ‘pag na-reach mo na ‘yung pinaka-mature?

“So every time may mga ino-offer or may gagawin, parati lang iniisip kung makakatulong or masasabayan ba ako ng mga fans ‘pag ginawa ko ‘yun.

“Pero with regards with the clothing, siguro ayaw mo din kasi na parating maging safe. Parang once in a while, ‘yung mas sexy na damit pero it doesn’t mean na all-out ka.

“Pero siguro okay lang na once in a while, mag-try ka ng new outfits or gagawa ng ganyan pero balanced pa rin,”

Daniel then said about Kathryn: “I don’t think naman it’s shedding, hindi naman nawala ‘yung wholesomeness. I think it’s just the growth. Tumatanda na rin si Kathryn. And pangalawa, hindi naman bastusin tingnan. Bago maging bastusin, nasabihan ko na. Wala namang maselan tingnan, it’s normal.”
