Controversial actor Daniel Padilla has been spotted at the Philippine airport, reportedly en route to Dubai, as per talent manager Ogie Diaz’s YouTube channel, Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update.
Sources claimed to have seen Padilla discreetly queuing for a Dubai-bound flight, with airport staff later escorting him, likely due to fan attention. A netizen allegedly captured a video of Padilla on the flight, although it remains unclear whether his trip is for work or leisure.
Padilla’s departure comes amidst swirling rumors following his breakup with actress Kathryn Bernardo, his long-time girlfriend and on-screen partner. While Bernardo has remained silent about the breakup, her sister’s vague social media post hinted at possible “cheating moments” by Padilla dating back to 2014. The former couple, known for their blockbuster movies and affectionate performances, like their 2023 show in Abu Dhabi, have a highly anticipated movie scheduled for release in 2024, directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina.
In light of the intense scrutiny and backlash from the public, particularly from fans of the beloved KathNiel duo, Ogie Diaz suggested that Padilla should take a break from social media for his well-being. Diaz highlighted the severe criticism and speculative comments about Padilla’s career, emphasizing the sensitivity and high emotions surrounding the issue.
