After opening his first business venture as one of the co-owners of a bar in San Juan, Daniel Padilla admits he is learning a lot from it.

“Okay naman. District 8 is okay, malakas naman. Ang importante kasi, hindi kung kamusta yung business kundi kamusta yung mga tao. Yun ang lagi kong tanong sa kanila and very happy yung mga tao natin sa District 8. Pag nagtatanong ako ng feedback dun sa mga pumupunta, minsan lang daw may mga delays pero siyempre normal yun. Ang dami na kasi tao (laughs). Medyo nahihirapan din yung mga waiter namin ah. Pero masaya dun,” he told PUSH during the launch of the DJP i2i New York eyewear line last January 27 in Taguig City.

As the celebrity ambassador of local eyewear brand i2i, DJ revealed that his love affair with shades started years before he even entered showbiz.

“Bata pa ako, hindi pa ako nag-aartista. Siguro yung sa akin talaga na binili ko na unang shades, hindi ako sigurado pero hindi sa nag-po-promote ako pero i2i pa yung nabili ko dati. Kasi yun yung mga sobrang budget meal kaya ayun na (laughs). Ang panget kasi parang promotion yung dating pero totoo yun,” he recalled.

DJ said that wearing shades has always been part of his everyday look, even for night wear.

“Ang shades kasi talaga sa akin sobrang comfortable ko na naka-shades ako lagi and I think kasi minsan hindi ko talaga maiwasan na ang daming nakabantay sa akin, alam mo yung ang daming mga matang nakapaligid sa akin? Pag naka-shades ako tinitingnan ko sila ng hindi nila alam (laughs). Hindi nila ako mahuhuli kung kanino ako nakatingin (laughs),” he shared.

The business-minded actor admitted he had a lot of input in choosing which designs would go into the DJP Collection. “Masyado akong na-inspire sa street fashion ng Tokyo. Ang galing nilang lahat manamit at ang eyewear nila sobrang kakaiba. Dito naman nag-collaboration talaga kami kung ano ang gusto nila at anong gusto ko. Yun ang ginagawa namin sa i2i kaya ako very happy. Nagagawa namin ng grupo ko yung trip naming shades and parang yung chance to create parang ang saya na kung anong puwede ko gawin at anong gusto ko gawin, may chance akong magawa yun in reality. So masaya lang,” he said.

The La Luna Sangre star remarked that he has one more item to tick off his bucket list so early in the year.

“Talagang isa ito sa mga dream come true para sa akin, na magkaroon ng isang line ng shades,” he added.
