“Parang never naman kami naano (affect) sa tingin ng tao sa relationship namin. Never naman kami na-pressure dun. Yun ang hindi namin hinayaan mangyari, na diktahan ng tao kung ano dapat maging ano kami. Hindi dapat diktahan na maging kami. Hindi puwedeng ganun. Kung ano man yung nakita niyo sa huling sampung taon eh totoo lahat yun,” he shared during The House Arrest of Us finale blogcon held last January 13.

Keeping their relationship romantic is a challenge DJ said he is always willing to do.

“Siyempre iba yung kilig ng dati, iba pag bago pa, iba yung kilig nun. Ngayon mas more on, hindi naman basta yung kilig, mas more on paano mo ba mapapakita yung pagmamahal mo sa isang tao. Yung kahit matagal na kayo hindi mo nakakalimutan yung maliliit na impormasyon na importante sa kanya. Ibabalik mo lang naman sa ganun, sa mas maliliit na bagay. Kasi hindi naman kami masyadong materyolosong tao. Maski sa maliliit na bagay matandaan mo lang ano ba yung mga paborito niyang pagkain, ano ba yung paborito niyang bulaklak, ano ba yung paborito niyang chocolate. ‘Yun lang naman yun eh. Tapos maging consistent. Dapat consistent lang tayo lagi.LOOK: Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla Show Off Lot Where Future Home Will Be Built - When In Manila

“Madali lang naman mag-surpresa. Alam ni Kathryn na mahilig ako mang-surprise. Madali na yun eh. Pero yung mahirap is yung malilit na bagay na tandaan. Consistency is the key,” he shared.

During the event, when asked if he thought Kathryn was the one for him, DJ did not hesitate to confidently answer right away.

“Yes, perfect siya for me. For me she is perfect because una, I will always say this, she makes me a better person. Yun lang naman yung sa akin. Pag nawawala na ako sa sarili, binabalik niya ako ng binabalik. Masyado akong makulit na bata. Siya ang gumagabay sa akin. Kumbaga siya yung ilaw ko lagi,” he said.
