However, that smile showed tension when Daniel appeared to be saying something with a “gigil” expression. Netizens interpreted “gigil” in a negative way. Then, the actor appeared to have attempted to strike Kathryn.

TikTok user @rxman0ff_ shared this throwback clip with red flag icons.

The same clip was shared by the fan account @kath_in_ctrl with the caption, “Teka nagulat ako [loudly crying face emoji].”

In the comment sections of these posts, netizens, especially those who are supporting Kathry, slammed Daniel. They expressed shock that this video resurfaced and they had no idea about this while some already knew that this happened. Here are some comments.
