“I ended up learning so much about that person. Ang fulfilling nung feeling after.”

CREATED WITH COLGATE

Kathryn Bernardo is arguably one of the most loved celebrities in the Philippine showbiz industry. On top of her many accolades throughout her 21 years in the industry, she is regarded by many as one of the friendliest and most genuine celebrities. Despite her packed schedule, her colleagues gush that Kathryn will always be the first one to greet them with her warm “hi’s” and “hello’s”.

Growing Up In Front of the Cameras

As much as you’ve seen her confidently portray characters on screen, it turns out that even Kathryn was not as confident in her younger years. “I didn’t know how to start a conversation lalo na kapag ‘di ko kilala.” she confesses. However, her family’s encouragement helped her step out of her comfort zone.

According to Kathryn, through her family’s support, she started reaching out to people outside her circle. Eventually, she started getting into her stride and enjoyed initiating conversations. She realized that there is so much you can discover about yourself and the people around you when you push yourself to make that connection. “When I connect with other people, lumalaki yung mundo ko, I get to learn new things and opportunities open up!”, Kathryn shares.

Building Bridges to Confidence

Of course, there have been challenging moments. Take Kathryn’s recent first solo trip abroad, where she watched Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Australia, for example. From the first time traveling alone abroad with a layover to exploring new cultures and interacting with foreign Swifties, it was an unforgettable experience that got Kathryn out of her shell and the personal story that inspired her latest Colgate Fresh Confidence film.

“It was my first time riding a plane alone. Yung nakatabi ko was a foreigner. I really pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and initiated the conversation.”, Kathryn shares. “Tapos, I ended up learning so much about that person. Ang fulfilling nung feeling after,” she gushes, reflecting on making that fresh connection.

Even little things like exploring unfamiliar turfs and initiating interactions have become Kathryn’s testament to her burgeoning self-reliance.
