Daniela Stranner got emotional during the premiere of her latest movie, The Last Goodbye. In an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, the Kapamilya actress shared how overwhelmed she felt by the support, even though her family couldn’t be there.<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1746867359007Daniela-Stranner-opens-up-about-a-personal-farewell-ahead-of-The-Last-Goodbye-premiere-1.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="EXCLUSIVE: Daniela Stranner opens up about a personal farewell ahead of ‘The Last Goodbye’ premiere"/></div>“I wish my family were here to see the movie with me. Yun talaga po yung naisip ko. But I&#x27;m more emotional kasi you know, sitting, while I was watching the movie, it felt like it was (just) okay. Tapos nung pagtayo ko dito, like sa harapan ng lahat, that&#x27;s when I saw everyone and then that&#x27;s when I realized na marami po palang sumusuporta. Naging emotional ako na I saw all my handlers and everybody was supporting me even if my family wasn&#x27;t here,” she said.Daniela earlier revealed in an interview with Bianca Gonzalez on the TFC talk show BRGY that her mother is moving to the U.S. to live there.Before leaving for the U.S. ahead of the premiere, Daniela shared that her mother assured her of her full support.“Wala siyang message sa akin pero when I already knew na she wasn&#x27;t going to come here na tonight, she was hugging me. She was hugging me but she wasn&#x27;t saying anything anymore and all she said was, pag May 7 na, she&#x27;s going to go to the nearest mall and watch my movie daw. Hindi kasi kami ma-talky na family, more on actions kami,” she shared.The Kapamilya actress shared how the experience motivated her to push herself even more.“I want to do even more. Siyempre, for me na rin (with) what I&#x27;m doing with my craft, with my work. I want to do this for myself. But mostly, I want to see my family proud. Kahit na malayo yung mom ko, I want her to watch all my shows and still be proud of me kahit na nasa ibang bansa na siya,” Daniela added.Meanwhile, Daniela admitted that taking on another leading lady role feels like a breath of fresh air, especially after her unforgettable turn as Z in Senior High and High Street, where she feared being defined by her intense, antagonistic scenes.“I&#x27;m excited lalo ngayon kasi at least now alam ko na kahit na magkaroon ako ng kontrabida roles or different genres, I know that I can always still come back to Rom-Com. Mas natanggal yung worry ko and lungkot,” the actress admitted.<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1746867366989Daniela-Stranner-opens-up-about-a-personal-farewell-ahead-of-The-Last-Goodbye-premiere-1-.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="EXCLUSIVE: Daniela Stranner opens up about a personal farewell ahead of ‘The Last Goodbye’ premiere"/></div>In The Last Goodbye, Daniela plays Heart, a beautiful and kind-hearted high school student who captures the affections of her classmate, Xavier. As their bond deepens, they must confront the painful reality that Xavier is bound to leave for abroad.Daniela also shared what it was like bringing the character to life.“Honestly, mas madali po emotionally. It was easy for me to release all these. Siyempre, masakit kapag umiiyak ka. Pero, it was a good pain for me. Physically, (challenging) yung pag-akyat ko sa bundok,” she candidly shared.<div><iframe width="1521" height="534" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JVdHvmXk-Wo" title="The Last Goodbye | OFFICIAL TRAILER | Matt Lozano | Daniela Stranner" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>The Last Goodbye is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
