During Kathryn’s recent contract renewal signing with Star Magic, Goin’ Bulilit show director Edgar Mortiz sent his congratulatory message, and praised Kathryn’s good deed to a co-star. The actress appeared in the children’s sketch comedy show from 2005 to 2008 as part of its first batch.
According to the director, Kathryn had pitched in for her co-star’s educational fees, in light of the death of her unnamed cast member’s father.
“Nakita ko ’yung nanay ng isang ‘Bulilit,’ tapos kinuwento niya sa ’kin nung namatay ang tatay ng ‘Bulilit’ na ’to, ang nagpaaral sa kanya, si Kathryn. Doon ko lang nalaman,” he noted.
The 27-year-old actress hinted about the closeness of her relationship with her castmate, who had halted their showbiz career because of the tragedy.
“Naging kaibigan namin ni Mama [’yung dad niya]. Sabay [kaming] kakain and then for a time nag-stop [siya] mag-artista, and naka-receive kami ng message from the mom na ito ’yung nangyari sa dad,” she explained.
Because of this, Kathryn endeavored to fulfill the wishes of her co-star’s deceased father. “Bilang nakasama mo, siyempre tutulong ka hangga’t kaya mo,” she said. “’Yung ’yun na promise namin ni Mama sa dad niya na tutulungan namin [siya]. Ito ’yung isa sa dreams ng dad niya sa kanya, na makatapos ng college, because he's so smart. Alam mo rin ’yung mga tao na masarap tulungan kasi masipag.”
“Tuwang-tuwa ako na hindi pala siya nakalimot sa mga kasama niya,” the director remarked. “Proud na proud ako kay Kathryn.”
Hats off to you, Kathryn! What a great friend!
