In a recent, heartfelt message to her massive fanbase, the “Asia’s Phenomenal Superstar” Kathryn Bernardo offered more than just the standard thank-you. She credited her supporters with a rare gift in the industry: the respect to let her grow.
“They let me fly,” Bernardo shared, reflecting on her journey over the past year. “They didn’t just stay; they gave me the space to find out who Kathryn is on her own.”
Kathryn’s statement highlights a shift in how Filipino fans interact with their idols. It’s no longer just about “shipping” or possessing; it’s about empowerment.
“They trust me with the projects that I do, the way I want to present myself, and even the decisions I make, even if they don’t always agree,” said Kathryn.
“I think doon na pumapasok yung respeto, na if you really trust me, you have to allow me to grow and allow me to make mistakes and learn from my mistakes.” she said.
“Na-appreciate ko ‘yung fans and ‘yung brands na nakakatrabaho ko na they don’t try to change me, parang they just give their support. They let me fly. I’m just grateful to my fans who stayed with me through the good times, especially the not-so-good times,” added Kathryn.
By stating that her fans “let her fly,” Kathryn is acknowledging that her current success isn’t just her own. It’s a collaborative effort between an artist and an audience that refuses to hold her back. She has moved from being a “Teen Queen” to a woman who defines her own trajectory.
This mutual respect has allowed her to take bolder risks, sign unexpected endorsements, and speak more candidly about her aspirations. In the end, Kathryn Bernardo isn’t just soaring because of her talent; she’s soaring because her fans decided to be the wind, not the cage.
