Daniel Padilla will be spending Christmas eve with people close to his heart.
The 27-year-old ABS-CBN actor revealed his Christmas plans and traditions to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and other members of the press at the launch of his endorsement, Mossimo Vibe, on November 19, 2022.
Daniel said a holiday tradition he and his family enjoy is putting up a Christmas tree.
"Importante sa akin is may Christmas tree kami," but more importantly, he is celebrating Christmas with the people close to his heart."Kami naman simple lang, we just invite our friends di ba, friends, families sa bahay."
He continued, "Normal lang, e, ganun lang naman ang mga ano namin tuwing Pasko, basta kumpleto."
Daniel noted that he also plans to spend time with his girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo and her family over the holidays.
"At siyempre kailangan ko rin anuhin ang sarili ko dahil may time naman na... dun muna ako sa kanila Kathryn, sa buong pamilya nila Kathryn magkikita kami.
"So simple, simple lang, ganun lang gusto ko."
STILL BUSY
Daniel has found more time for himself now that the Kapamilya series 2 Good 2 Be True has ended.

But the actor is still busy with other projects, such as his endorsement of the clothing brand.
He said, "I'm very happy, I'm very honored dahil nga iyon... first endorser ako ng Mossimo so I'd like to thank them.
"Siyempre yung mga boss natin, mga presidente natin, I'd like to thank them.
"Isa pa I'm very happy kasi ang bubuting tao nila. I like to work with good people kaya naman natin tinatanggap minsan, yun naman ang reason."
Daniel has two important reasons for accepting the endorsement deal.
He told the press, "They are open for collaboration at importante sa akin yun kasi, like you said, I have my own style, di ba.
"So nung nag-meeting kami before pa, bago pa ito magpirmahan ng kontrata at kung anu-ano, nag-usap-usap muna kami.
"Natuwa ako dahil nga bukas sila makipag-collab di ba, makipag-usap. Importante sa akin yun kasi nga, for me, kung kunin man ako ng isang endorsement or ng isang brand, I think kukunin nila ako because of myself, hindi ba?
"So ayaw ko lang, ayaw ko lang minsan pag kinuha ako tapos babaguhin yung imahe ko. So that's why nagustuhan ko yung ano ng Mossimo, I got very excited.”
He later added, "So before anything else nakipag-usap muna kami. Pinakinggan ko na sila kung ano gusto nilang gawin sa brand nila, ano bang vision nila.
"And sinabi nila, gusto nila makipag-collab sa akin in the future. Kasi I think next year may mga gagawin kaming projects together.
"'Yun ang sabi ko, this is nice, gusto ko yung mga character ng mga tao dito.
"They are very creative and alam nila kung ano dapat naming gawin next year, lahat planado."
