The popular Filipino couple Kathniel's breakup shocked many Filipinos as both of them announced the end of their relationship on Thursday, Nov. 30.
A few weeks before their separate official breakup announcements, many Filipinos speculated that the two were no longer dating. Most of the rumors claim that Daniel John Ford Padilla, aka DJ, cheated with another actress.
The Kathniel breakup is not just saddening for Filipino fans. It is also a big deal for the showbiz industry, as well as the business sector since their decoupling could negatively affect some brands, especially those endorsed by Daniel Padilla.
But, show business will be mostly affected... In a good way. Philstar reported that Kathniel's separation could inspire more future Filipino love teams since the 11-year relationship between Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla offers lots of lessons.
These include how they treated (and will still treat) each other with respect during their relationship and after the breakup. The impact they made with Filipino fans could also pressure other on-cam couples to greater heights, especially in their performances as partners in teleseries or movies.
Aside from these, the separation of Kath and DJ could also inspire Filipino writers to write movies that don't revolve around two characters; leading to more unique films that viewers will certainly spend their time on.
