It was not the Kapuso actress’ first time to be told that she is a mirror image of her Kapamilya counterpart.
According to her, a celebrity doctor for which she and Kathryn were both endorsers told them that they look like each other.
“Nasabihan n’ya (celebrity doctor) kami na we’re together, kami ni Ate Kath, and we just looked at each other and, ‘Oo nga!’,” Kyline recalled.
“So kinikilig ako kasi Ate Kath is such a beautiful person – inside and out. So it’s a great honor! OA (over acting) man ‘yung honor, pero it’s such a great honor na maging kamukha n’ya kahit papaano.”
When asked what project would suit them if they are to work together, Kyline agreed with sisters, but not as rivals.
“I cannot play a rival of Ate Kath. Sa totoong buhay at sa ano (showbiz project). Parang feeling ko hindi ko s’ya kayang tarayan,” Kyline professed.
“But definitely sisters pero sana, drama. Heavy drama kasi nakita ko si Ate Kath sa ‘Hello, Love, Goodbye,’ nakita ko s’ya sa ‘A Very Good Girl,’ masterpiece talaga!”
When teased that they should be twin sisters, Kyline exclaimed, “Grabe naman!”
