Playing a central character on “La Luna Sangre” has given Kathryn Bernardo a plethora of firsts.

First time kong maging ganito ka-hands on sa character ko. Kami ni DJ, lahat kami, sobrang team kami. Ngayon ko lang na-realize na kapag gusto mo ang project or mahal mo ‘yung project (you’ll do anything)," sjhe said. Nagpapa-revise kami ng script. Every scene, minsan kami ni direk Frasco (Mortiz). First time naming maging ganito ka-hands on,” she said. Recall that once in the story, she had to disguise herself as boy Miyo while in Manila only to transform back into the foxy Malia later. Kathryn feels she somehow matured while doing the soap as it allows her to become independent. “Nag-mature kami talaga at natutong maging independent,” she intoned. “Hindi ko naman maitago na kay direk Cathy (Garcia-Molina), kay direk May, medyo naging dependent kami na okay nandiyan sila, aalagaan tayo. Pero dito, kahit saang unit ka ibato ay alam mo kung ano ‘yung nangyayari. Hindi nagkulang ang mga directors namin, team work talaga ang show na ito.” With “La Luna Sangre” coming to a close in a few days’ time, Kathryn couldn’t help but feel a bit of separation anxiety. “Halo-halo ang napi-feel ko kasi una, nahirapan ako sa paggawa ng ‘La Luna Sangre’ dahil hindi biro (ang mga eksena). Ang laki ng adjustments na ginawa ko for Malia, ang daming learnings kaya hindi ko rin malilimutan. “Ang pinakaimportante ay ‘yung relationships na nabuo ko dito sa show. Feeling ko ‘yun ang pinakamami-miss ko, ‘yung LLU (La Liga Unida), Moonchasers and everyone. Hindi ko na makikita sina Joross (Gamboa) and everyone pero at the same time, masaya kasi parang hindi namin namalayan na naka-10 months na kami. Hindi siya naging madali para sa lahat, hindi lang sa amin but also for the staff, sa mga director. Importante dito ang nabuong pamilya sa set, ‘yung natutunan namin na dadalhin namin pagkatapos ng show.” What did she learn from Malia? “Na ang pagmamahal, yan pa rin ang pinakamakapangyarihan sa lahat. Kasi ang daming pinagdaanan nina Malia at Tristan, Miyo at Tristan pero at the end of the day, kahit gaano kasama ang tao, ay puwede mo ‘yung mabago dahil sa pagmamahal. Hindi naging madali ang journey ni Malia pero ang importante doon ay hawak-kamay sila para malagpasan lahat ‘yon. In real life, ganoon naman talaga. May mga challenges na darating. Hindi lahat ng panahon ay makikisama sa amin pero ang importante ay hawak-kamay naming haharapin.” Asked if she felt limited in showing her love for Daniel Padilla, her rumoured boyfriend, Kathryn said, “Lahat naman ay may mga kapalit ‘yan. May mga hindi kami nagagawa pero kung iisipin mo may mga nagagawa kaming hindi nagagawa ng iba. So pros and cons ‘yon.” The actress added: “Like kami, dahil nakakatrabaho kami, nakakabili kami ng ganito para sa pamilya namin at a very young age. Kami ni DJ, hindi namin maipa-promise sa lahat na magiging perpekto kaming ehemplo sa inyo. Ang maipapangako namin ay magpapakatotoo kami sa inyo. Nagpapasalamat kami lalo sa mga bata na tumitingala sa amin, na naging inspiration nila kami. Parang ‘yun ‘yung malaking bagay sa amin na parang ginagawa namin nang maayos ang trabaho namin.” She expressed appreciation for the fans that supported the show. “I really appreciate it, na 'yung mga fans especially ng ‘Lobo’ and ‘Imortal’ (ay) talagang inaaral nila 'yung bawat character, from the Moonchasers, to Prof T, to LLU (La Liga Unida), gano'n sila ka-hands on. "Nanonood kasi ako sa TFC (The Filipino Channel), ta's nakikita ko 'yung comments nila, na parang ako, 'Oh my God, ang galing ng mga fans.' Ang dami nilang questions, ang dami nilang theory na OK, ang galing nila manghula."
