PABORITONG awitin ngayon ng Brazilian-Japanese model-turned-actor na si Daniel Matsunaga ang hit song ni Sean Mendez na “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.”
Ayon sa Brapanese hunk, ang naturang awitin ay naging inspiration niya noong dumaan siya sa matinding problema sa kanyang relasyon noon sa Kapamilya actress na si Erich Gonzales.
Ngayon ay kaya na ni Daniel ngitian ang nakaraan na iyon dahil naka-move on na siya.
“I don’t want to think of the past anymore. What’s important to me right now is the present and the future.
“Tapos na ‘yun kasi. That was January pa.
“Matatapos na ang taon pero ‘yun pa rin ang tinatanong sa akin ng mga tao.
“It’s okay because it’s a part of what happened to me.
“But as much as possible, gusto ko na move on na tayong lahat.
“I’m happy and like what the song says, there’s nothing holding me back,” ngiti pa ni Daniel.
Hindi naman itinago ni Daniel na nagiging maingat na siya pagdating sa usapang lovelife.
Mas natutunan daw muna ni Daniel na mahalin ang sarili niya bago ang ibang tao.
“I learned that in order to gain love, you have to have love yourself first.
“People who knows me, they know that I wear my heart on my sleeves. I like the feeling of love. Pero dapat pala unahin ko munang mahalin ang sarili ko.
“Kaya wala munang serious relationship. Just dating and working. Like now, I just finished this horror movie, ‘Spirit of the Glass 2: The Haunted’ that will be shown on Nov. 1.”
Inamin ni Daniel na may dine-date siya ngayon. Hindi raw ito Pinay at hindi rin taga-showbiz.
“Sometimes we need to unwind and be in the company of friends.
“Working friends lang po kami ng dine-date ko ngayon. We just hang out and enjoy the company ng ibang friends namin,” pagtapos pa ni Daniel Matsunaga.
