Netizens and dedicated fans of ABS-CBN actress Kathryn Bernardo were immersed in nostalgia upon the viral spread of the actress’ yearbook photo from her younger years.

On Tuesday, December 19, 2023, Facebook page Kapamilya Online shared Kathryn’s throwback yearbook photo, which has since gained widespread attention.

What amused netizens the most was Kathryn’s humorous “quotable quote”: “Titser, wala yung writing ko, magco-color na lang ako.”

Before entering showbiz, she went to Flowerlane Montessori Children’s House in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, and later moved to OB Montessori Center in Quezon City.

Some fans thought this photo was taken before Kathryn started acting in 2003.

Some remembered Maya, her role in Super Inggo (20060).

Before this, a set of Kathryn’s kiddie photos were posted by her classmate Kiko Santelices on X (formerly Twitter) last May 23, 2020. They were taken during her summer class at Kee-Dee Personality Development and Learning Centre in Cabanatuan City.

In one of the pictures, Kathryn was quoted as saying, “I cherished the Kee-Dee class because I learned the proper walking, sitting, posing properly. And I develop my self confidence in preparation for my ‘Miss U’ contest.”

In another post, Kiko clarified that the “Miss U” pageant Kathryn referred to in her quote was the “Munting Miss U” segment of the now-defunct Kapamilya noontime show, Magandang Tanghali Bayan.
