Nadine said in an interview with ABS-CBN News that she is open to the idea of working with Kathryn provided that they will be given good projects.
“Bakit naman po hindi, ‘di ba? Kung mayroon namang magandang material para sa aming dalawa. I mean hindi naman kami (magka-away), okay naman po kami e hindi naman kami nag-aaway in real life. So I guess, okay naman,”Nadine answered.
For this year the Multimedia Princess bagged three best actress awards from FAMAS, Gawad Urian, and Young Critics Circle for her movie Never Not Love You. But Nadine remained modest and reiterated that she was just lucky this year.

“I guess maybe, it’s my time lang now, I don’t think it’s going to be forever like that. Like what I said before, iba-iba kami pero baka ngayon lang siguro ‘yung moment ko, next time iba naman,” Nadine explained.
In a separate interview, Kathryn also said she is open to working with Nadine on a good project.
“Game ako, basta may magandang materyal, okay sa VIVA Artist (Agency), okay sa Star Magic. Kasi may mga proseso ‘yan, hindi naman porke’t gusto natin, pwede na agad,” Kathryn said in an interview with ABS-CBN News and some entertainment press on July 24, Thursday.
“Pero kung ako personally, basta may magandang materyal, yes!” Kathryn added.
The actress said that their collaboration may be possible citing that she was recently teamed up with Kapuso actor Alden Richards.
“Kasi ito ngang kay Alden (Richards), nagawan naman natin ng paraaan. What more ito na, pareho kaming nasa ABS-CBN? Sabi ko nga, hello to opportunity this year, so yeah I’m open naman,” she explained.

Kathryn believes that they both have different edges as an actress and are unique in their own ways.
“Naniniwala ako na magka-iba kasi kami ni Nadine. Mayroon kaming uniqueness in our own ways, mayroon siyang strengths, meron din ako, so iba. Singer siya, hindi naman ako singer, alam mo? Magkaiba po kami,” she concluded.
