"I've always looked up to Kathryn Bernardo, kasi you can feel the soul in her eyes while she's acting and I just really love her style when she's onscreen lalo na po kapag umiiyak, kaya I do hope na makawork ko po siya in the future," Sofi said.

The two also added that they both have a crush on another Kapamilya actor Donny Pangilinan.

"Showbiz crush ko po for the teens right now is Donny Pangilinan, actually when I first saw him act, na-move po talaga ako sa acting niya. Hindi po pilit, it's very natural how he acts on being in front of the camera, and so I'm looking forward to working with him," Nicky said.
