Gwy Saludes, the author of "The Rain in España", can't help but smile as she told her dream of working with one of the most well-known love teams in the industry: Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.
During her intimate press conference at the Limbaga 77 Restaurant in Quezon City on June 14, Gwy shared that KathNiel has always been a huge part of her inspiration since she started writing.
"Before po kasi yung mga sinusulat ko po is puro Kathniel fanfiction po lahat yun, before the university series po Kathniel po lahat ng stories ko," Gwy said.
(Before when I started to write all of Kathniel fanfiction, before the university series my stories were all about Kathniel)

The 22-year-old writer said that she dreams of working with KathNiel in the future with one of her book adaptations.
"Yung Twitterserye ko po na 'Along in España,' Kathniel din po yun, so sila po talaga yung dream ko na makawork in the future, kung mangangarap po talaga ako Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla po talaga," she added.
(My Twitter series, Along in España, is also inspired by Kathniel, so they are the ones that I dream of working with in the future. If I had that dream, it would really be Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla
Gwy also said that during the time that she was making her Twitterserye, Kathryn had read it from start to finish, she even sent her a video message after reading the story.
"Binasa po ni Kath yung Along in España kasi sila po yung portrayer ko dun, and nakarating po sa kanya and after that po nagbigay po siya ng video greet sa akin," Gwy said.
(Kath read Along in España because they are my portrayers there, and it reached her and after that, she gave me a video greeting)
Being a big fan of Kathniel, Gwy and the couple met for the first time during the Guillermo Awards in 2019.
Young writer
Making waves with her university series, Gwy started writing her stories on Wattpad when she was 12. Since then her fans got a glimpse of different stories of love, heartbreak, and friendship through her words.
Now 22, Gwy also mentioned that pressure still reels in whenever she writes a new story.
"Happy po ako pero at the same time nandun yung pressure kasi syempre maraming nagaabang, maraming nagbabasa and maraming expectations sa akin, kunwari nagboom itong story na to tapos yung susunod, merong pressure na kailangan ko isurpass yung reads nung nauna," she said.
(I'm happy but at the same time there's pressure because of course there are a lot of people waiting, reading, and a lot of expectations for me. For example, this story blows up and on the next one, there's pressure on me that I have to surpass the viewers of the first story).
But despite the pressure on her writing, Gyw continues to keep her passion going and create stories that the readers can relate to.
Aside from becoming a writer, Gwy is now a graduate of Legal Management at the Ateneo De Manila University. According she plans on taking law school to fulfill her dream of becoming a Lawyer.
