• Actress Kathryn Bernardo and Lucena City Mayor Mark Alcala were allegedly spotted separately at NAIA, both reportedly traveling to Australia, fueling renewed romance rumors

• The alleged NAIA sightings add to long-standing dating rumors between the two, which reportedly began in December of last year and included an unconfirmed BGC sighting last month

• Despite the swirling speculation, Kathryn Bernardo publicly stated she was "very happy and yes, still single" during the ABS-CBN Ball in April, providing her latest official statement on her relationship status

• Neither Bernardo nor Alcala has issued any official statements regarding their relationship or the nature of their trips, leaving the public to rely on social media buzz and entertainment reports

Renewed romantic speculation surrounding Kapamilya star Kathryn Bernardo and Lucena City Mayor Mark Alcala has surged across social media platforms following their alleged separate sightings at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), reportedly en route to Australia.

While spotted at different times, the simultaneous Australia-bound trips have intensified ongoing rumors about their relationship.

Photos purportedly showing the prominent actress and the local chief executive at the country's main international gateway went viral online, quickly becoming a topic of discussion among fans and entertainment observers.

Entertainment outlet Pep.ph, citing sources, corroborated the alleged travel plans, confirming that Kathryn Bernardo was headed to Melbourne, while Mayor Alcala's destination was Sydney.

However, these sources did not indicate whether the two would converge during their respective trips in Australia.

The alleged NAIA sighting adds a new layer to romance rumors that first surfaced as early as December of last year.

Speculations about a potential relationship between Bernardo and Alcala began circulating after unconfirmed reports suggested they were spending time together.

These rumors gained further traction just last month when a post on the "Chika PH" Reddit thread claimed the duo was spotted together in Bonifacio Global City.

Despite the buzz, no photographic evidence emerged from that alleged sighting, as both were reportedly whisked away into a waiting vehicle.

The public's heightened interest in Kathryn Bernardo's personal life comes in the wake of her high-profile breakup with long-time on-screen and off-screen partner Daniel Padilla, which marked the end of the popular "KathNiel" tandem.

Since then, her relationship status has been a frequent subject of media attention and fan curiosity.

Amidst the swirling rumors, Bernardo herself addressed questions about her love life during the ABS-CBN Ball last April.

When asked by entertainment reporter Gretchen Fullido if she was in a relationship, the actress simply stated, "I'm very happy. And yes, still single."

This declaration, made just months prior to the recent airport sightings, leaves her official relationship status unchanged, even as public speculation continues to mount.

Mayor Mark Alcala, on the other hand, is a political figure known for his role as the chief executive of Lucena City.

His alleged travel for personal reasons, alongside a prominent celebrity, naturally garners attention, especially in the context of persistent rumors.

Neither Kathryn Bernardo nor Mayor Mark Alcala has released any official statements or comments directly addressing the nature of their relationship or the specific reasons behind their individual trips to Australia.

As with many celebrity-related reports, these alleged sightings and unconfirmed details largely proliferate through social media and entertainment news platforms, leaving fans to draw their own conclusions.

The recent NAIA photos have undeniably added more fuel to the ongoing romantic conjecture surrounding the two public figures.

Kathryn Bernardo is a Filipina actress, model, and entrepreneur, widely regarded as one of the biggest stars in the Philippine entertainment industry. She rose to fame as a child star and became one of the most sought-after leading ladies of her generation. She gained recognition for her role as Mara in the 2010 TV series Mara Clara, a remake of the classic 1992 soap opera. She also starred in two of the highest-grossing Filipino films of all time: The Hows of Us (2018) and Hello, Love, Goodbye (2019). She was once in a long-term relationship with Daniel Padilla for over a decade, but they confirmed their breakup in 2023.

Recently, Kathryn’s reaction has caught the attention of many during a funny moment on Pilipinas Got Talent. Judge Freddie M. Garcia (FMG) asked a contestant if he was related to Daniel Padilla. Kathryn laughed and made a playful gesture, referencing the look-alike’s hairstyle. The moment went viral on social media, with fans loving Kathryn’s adorable response despite her breakup with Daniel in November 2023.

Previously, Kathryn's alleged first crush, Dr. Kenneth Hizon, has provided a fearless answer about his plans now that the world already knew that he was actress' alleged first crush. In a first and exclusive interview with Kath's alleged first crush, Kenneth made it clear that he has plans of reconnecting with the actress. When he was asked if he has already communicated with Kath, he said he hasn't, but was looking forward to and have a catching up time with the actress. Ultimately, Dr. Hizon was asked if he's open to possibilities of reconnecting, deepening his relationship with Kath, and possibly courting her.
