Kathryn Bernardo is on a week-long break from taping her new series with James Reid, as she reportedly flew to Bhutan early this week to celebrate her 30th birthday.
According to reports, she was accompanied by her rumored boyfriend, Lucena Mayor Mark Alcala, along with some friends. They were allegedly spotted together at the airport.
This could explain why Bernardo’s co-star, Maja Salvador, threw her a surprise party on the set of their series last week. Salvador may have known that Bernardo would not be available this week as she planned to celebrate her birthday in the country.
