Daniel offered this newest recognition to his legions of fans who have been supportive of his career for many years.
"I'm just doing my job. I always give 100 percent all the time. I want to thank all the fans because they are the ones who put me in that position. That's why I thank them with all my heart," said Daniel during the launch of his latest endorsement for KPC Express Corporation held at the BGC in Taguig City on July 28. "It's an honor to represent the Philippines on the international stage."
At the KPC event, Daniel was welcomed by Khelvin P. Cruz, Chief Executive Officer of KPC Express Corporation, his wife, Mary Cruz, co-founder, and Kathrine Garcia, KPC managing director.
Daniel said he would travel to South Korea in October to receive the award. When asked who would join his trip to Seoul, Daniel said, "I think my mom will join me in South Korea. I'm sure she would like to join me at that moment. I will go there not to represent myself but to represent the Philippines."
The actor admitted he couldn't be happier than the blessings he receives.
"These endorsements and partnerships are blessings. The right people are coming to me, so I thank the Lord very much," he also said.
