AltABSCBN, a famous Twitter parody account, retweeted about an ongoing issue about certain celebrities who only rose to fame by borrowing the popularity of a relative or their families.
The account used Daniel Padilla as an example.
“The reason why Daniel Padilla rose to fame because he is a Padilla not because he was good.
Sure, he mastered his craft but his surname placed him in front at first. But we are not ready for that conversation.”

This caught the attention of Daniel’s mother, Karla Estrada, who posted a screenshot and tweeted that before they give out a heavy statement such as that make sure that they reveal their identity first,
“Pakilala ka muna, otherwise your opinion Doesnt Matter. No identity, no bearing. #TooLow”

Most of the netizens didn’t agree with AltABSCBN’s opinion, that yes maybe they’re right that Daniel being a Padilla became a factor but no Padilla has reached the same level of fame as Daniel.

I'm not a Kathniel fan and I'm only a fan of three artists in the industry but I must say that even tho Daniel carries the surname of Padilla, it is was not the main reason why he got famous. People loves his acting and his loveteam with Kath.

He starred in She’s Dating the Gangster, Crazy Beautiful You, Barcelona: A Love Untold, and Can’t Help Falling in Love which were all box office hits and established him as a promising actor.
He has received awards in television, film, and music including FAMAS Award for Best Actor, PMPC Star Award for Movie Actor of the Year, Luna Awards for Best Actor, GMMSF Box-Office Entertainment Awards for Box Office King, Awit Awards and has received three World Music Awards nominations in 2013.
Daniel Padilla recently went viral because of the kindness that he showed. His car was accidentally bumped by a tricycle driver but instead of getting furious, Daniel showed compassion to the tricycle driver who mistakenly struck the actor’s luxury vehicle.

As of now, Karla hasn’t taken any legal action against the said netizen who remains anonymous.
Malinaw ang post ko, no identity no bearing. So Walang pangalan. Let’s not assume guys lalo na pag Walang katibayan. It’s not @kenquenito . One soon lalabas din ang Tunay na Saladin. Chill Lang. pic.twitter.com/4BI0lSCOo1
