In response to a flurry of fake news circulating about the supposed breakup of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, ABS-CBN and its talent management arm, Star Magic, have issued a firm denouncement.

In an official statement released on Saturday evening, the media giant conveyed its understanding and respect for the decision made by Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla to part ways.

The statement urged the public to refrain from misinterpreting their statements and cautioned against the creation and dissemination of false narratives.

The statement reads:

“ABS-CBN management and Star Magic respect and understand the mutual decision of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla to part ways.

Let’s respect their statements and refrain from adding more to what was already said or create fake news. They have not done any interviews or issued any new statements as they have already expressed their sentiments on their social media accounts.

We ask everyone to respect them and allow them to heal and move on.

ABS-CBN management and Star Magic remain steadfast in our unwavering support for Kathryn and Daniel.”

Meanwhile, it appears that Daniel’s camp is actively addressing the surge in fake news, particularly those falsely quoting his mother, Karla Estrada. Legal action is being considered against those responsible for spreading misinformation.

Amidst the tumult, the majority of KathNiel fans are making their stance clear – a resounding “No to fake news!” is echoing through social media channels.
