Karla Estrada reiterated her and her son Daniel Padilla’s vow to stay with ABS-CBN through thick and thin, with the celebrity mother stating that the actor will always be a Kapamilya until he grows old.
Estrada extended her congratulatory greetings to Padilla during the latter’s contract signing event with Star Magic, the talent management arm of ABS-CBN, on Monday, Feb. 12.
“Anak, walang hanggang congratulations. Kami, ang buong angkan mo, ay talagang masayang-masaya dahil sa pagtupad natin—at syempre sa pagtupad din ng ating mga salita simula nung nangyari sa ABS-CBN ito,” she said, addressing the actor.
(Son, congratulations. We, your family, are very happy that we have kept our promise even after everything that happened to ABS-CBN.)

Estrada recalled telling her son that no matter what happens, they will stay with the Kapamilya network—a commitment that ABS-CBN executive Cory Vidanes witnessed.
“Yes, hindi [natinag] kahit kailan si Daniel na aalis sa ABS-CBN. Kaya hanggang pag-tanda, anak, kasama mo siya,” the actress-TV host continued. (Yes, Daniel never thought of leaving ABS-CBN even once. So until you grow old, [ABS-CBN] is with you.)
Advising her son, Estrada said, “Anuman ang dadaanan mo, kalsada mo ‘yan. Galingan mo ‘yan at ang importante ay masaya ka dyan, anak.”
(Whatever path you take, it’s your road to your journey. Do your best and what’s important is that you’re happy, son.)
“Lahat ng gagawin mo ay ialay mo sa Panginoon at hinding-hindi ka magkakamali. I love you,” she concluded her message. (Dedicate all that you do to God and you will never go wrong. I love you.)
Aside from Estrada, other family members present at the contract signing were Padilla’s sister, Magui Ford, and their cousin, child actor Jordan Lim.
During the event, Padilla thanked his family, loved ones, the ABS-CBN executives as well as his ex-girlfriend, actress Kathryn Bernardo, who also renewed her contract with the talent management company earlier.
