'Intimidating': Daniel Padilla on working with big boss Charo Santos

MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actor Daniel Padilla admitted that he felt intimidated working with his ABS-CBN big boss Charo Santos in the Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Kun Maupay Man It Panahon.”

In his interview with Star Magic's Inside News, Daniel shared his experience working with Charo. 

"Siyempre very intimidating. Hindi naman intimidating na tinatakot niya ako. Hindi. Siyempre 'yung presence ni Ma'am Charo. Nasanay ako na boss ko 'yon si Ma'am Charo. Na sa Star Magic Ball ko na nakikita, kapag may kailangan aakyat ako sa kanya, alam mo 'yon, 'yung ganoon," Daniel said.

"Pero 'yung makasama siya sa film -- intimidating. Pero at the same time very welcoming si Ma'am Charo. Tatanggalin niya 'yon sa 'yo (yung pagiging intimidated mo), para makapagtrabaho rin kayo ng maigi," he added.

Daniel narrated a scene wherein he made a mistake using the Waray language even if he was from Tacloban. 

"Nakakatakot magkamali. Ayaw mong magkamali, ka-eksena mo si Ma'am Charo. Kaya nga one time ako pa 'yung nagkamali sa Waray-Waray ko buti na lang si Ma'am Charo 'it's okay.' Alam mo 'yon hindi naman 'yon nagagalit. Very supportive, ang sarap kasama ni Ma'am Charo, napakabait," Padilla said.

“Kun Maupay Man It Panahon” follows a family in the aftermath of super typhoon Yolanda directed by Carlo Francisco Manatad. — Video from Star Magic YouTube channel
