It seems like Kathryn Bernardo’s rumored relationship with Lucena Mayor Mark Lacala is slowly stepping into the spotlight after their “PDA” moment in Bangkok.
The two sparked buzz anew after photos of them holding hands at a mall made the rounds online. The candid shots, taken during their trip to Bangkok, quickly caught attention, especially since previous sightings of the pair in Makati were more low-key.

Fans also picked up on a subtle clue in Kathryn’s Instagram posts, where she was seen leaning on a mystery guy’s arm, complete with a bracelet that netizens say looks like the politician’s.
The two were earlier spotted together at Suvarnabhumi Airport, fueling rumors of a private getaway. With the latest hand-holding moment, many believe this could be their way of confirming things without actually saying it.
Reactions online are split with some fans not thrilled, especially with the timing during Holy Week and Mark’s trip abroad—while others are defending the politician, saying everyone deserves a break.
The two has yet to confirm their relatiosnhip but this recent cozy sightng was enough for fans to call it a “soft launch.”
