Daniel Padilla and JK Labajo were involved in this rumored conflict
Supreme Idol Daniel Padilla and singer-actor JK Labajo were seen in a group photo with other celebrities at the ABS-CBN Ball 2025.
The annual Kapamilya event became a trending topic these past few days. This year’s gathering of stars took place on April 4, which was organized to support the ABS-CBN Foundation.
People were talking about the attendees, who walked the red carpet together, and the dashing outfits of the stars. Despite the good intention of the event, a negative story circulated online.
It was alleged that Daniel Padilla and Kyle Echarri had a conflict. Several versions of the story circulated. Allegedly, the conflict started when Kyle was being too touchy to Kathryn Bernardo, which irritated Daniel.
It was alleged that a commotion happened that allegedly involved JK Labajo and Richard Gutierrez. Rumor has it that JK defended Kyle while Richard defended Daniel.
According to the sources of veteran showbiz insider Critsy Fermin, Kathryn has nothing to do with the conflict, and that it was Kyle who started this by confronting Daniel about something. However, according to social media personality Xian Gaza, a self-proclaimed Pambansang Marites, this issue was fake news, and allegedly, it was just created to hype the ABS-CBN Ball.
Amid the issue, people who were allegedly involved in the issue remained silent. Just recently, Reina Hispanoamericana 2025 Dia Mate, the girlfriend of JK, stressed that she saw everything and the speculated “bugbugan” did not happen.
Netizens also took notice of a group photo in which Daniel Padilla and JK Labajo were among the people in this. X, formerly Twitter, user @chaiteaa28 shared a group photo which included Daniel, JK, Karla Estrada, Ian Veneracion, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Vina Morales.
This was shared on a popular showbiz site, and many netizens commented that the rumored “bugbugan” was just a made-up story. A netizen pointed out that the photo might have been taken before the supposed conflict happened.
