KathMark Spotted na Naman — Kathryn and Mayor Mark Alcala Go Mall-Hopping, Fans Want the Official Label Na
No more hiding, apparently. Kathryn Bernardo and Lucena Mayor Mark Alcala — a.k.a. "KathMark" to their ever-watchful fans — were spotted together yet again, this time doing some casual shopping at SM Aura in BGC last Wednesday. And this time, they weren't exactly being low-key about it.
Photos and videos of the pair quickly spread across social media, showing them walking around the mall together. Kathryn was wearing a face mask and eyeglasses — her go-to incognito look — but fans easily recognized her anyway and lined up for selfies. Mark, meanwhile, ditched the disguise entirely, and has apparently gotten famous enough in his own right to attract his own fan photo requests.
The couple — if we can call them that, since neither has officially confirmed — appeared careful not to show PDA in public. But netizens noticed something else: Mark's bodyguards were spotted carrying shopping bags for both of them, which sparked a whole separate conversation online.
Not everyone was thrilled, though. Some critics pointed out that it was still a workday, questioning why the Lucena mayor was at a Taguig mall instead of his office. Others defended him, saying mayors are allowed to take leaves too. Classic Filipino internet drama, basically.
With Kathryn's 30th birthday coming up on March 26, fans are hoping the couple will finally make things official by then. But honestly? Kathryn seems to be living her best life regardless of labels. As one commenter put it: "Hayaan na natin siya — nasa tamang edad na naman si Kathryn." Fair enough.
