Maraming ipinagpapasalamat si Kaila Estrada.
Bago siya nagdiwang ng kanyang 29th birthday nitong March 16, 2025, ni-launch siya bilang endorser ng Barefaced Skincare noong Sabado, March 15.
Ano kaya ang birthday wish niya?
"Madami. Parang feeling ko every year, dumadami yung wishes ko.
"This year, definitely more projects.
"Good health, good health is something that I really want to focus on. I really want to focus on my health.
"And spending time with my loved ones.
"I feel like time is something that you don’t get back, and it’s so valuable.
"I feel like sometimes, kapag busy tayo, nane-neglect natin yun.
"That’s something I really want to focus on: spending time with my family as much as possible."
At dahil Women’s Month din ang March, hiningan din siya ng message para sa kanyang ina na si Janice de Belen.
"My message to my mom—wow, it’s Women’s Month now. I wanna say thank you for being the best mom I could ever ask for, for being an example of a strong woman in my eyes.
"You know, I owe my mom a lot for the person that I am today. So yun lang, I love you, Ma!”

KAILA ESTRADA ON FIRST ACTION STINT
Samantala, isa sa mga ipinagpapasalamat ng dalaga ay ang pagiging bahagi niya ng series na Incognito.
First time niyang sumabak sa action.
"Well, pangarap ko po talaga since nagsimula ako is pumasok sa genre ng action, so grateful ako na kinonsider nila ako to be a part of Incognito."
Paano siya naghanda para sa role niyang si Max Alvero?
“Iba siya, siyempre, kasi may physical aspect yung character, may mga physical na eksena.
"So definitely, I had to really prepare myself for that, physically prepare myself for that para prepared yung katawan ko, di ako magkasakit, to build, you know, the stamina for the shooting days.
“Nag-training din kami right before namin mag-taping. So malaking tulong din yun in terms of picking up choreography pag sa mga action scenes sa set.
"So isa yun sa malalaking factors na grateful akong ginawa namin.
“Tapos nag-training kami talaga, nag-focus kami sa training."
Halos kagaya ng mga dati niyang karakter na sina Sylvia Lualhati sa Linlang (2023) at Bettina Tiu sa Can't Buy Me Love (2023) si Max.
Ang kaibahan, "boyish" ang huli.
Dugtong niya, “She’s also a strong character and I think my characters in the past were also strong personalities.
"Siya, it’s kind of different because she’s a bit more boyish, a bit boyish, a bit of laidback, but still very strong presence and a strong woman."
Nakaka-empower ang personalidad ni Max.
"That's one of the reasons why sobrang mahal ko yung project na ito and also yung character na ito.
"It’s because she portrays such a strong female character in a very male-centered genre.”
Malaki rin ang pasasalamat niya dahil off-cam, kabaligtaran ang mood sa set.
Ang kuwento ni Kaila:
"Sobrang saya ng set namin. I feel like dahil sa training namin and also months na kaming nagti-training together, nag-create talaga kami ng malakas na bond.
"And I feel like nakikita yun onscreen, e, yung bond namin as a group. Sobrang saya.
"I feel like the fact na maganda yung rapport namin really makes a workday a lot easier kasi siyempre, challenging ang action, di ba?
"Paguran, so I feel like the fact na okay kami as a group, we all get along really well, makes the work a lot lighter."

Siyempre, masaya rin siya na marami ang natuwa sa portrayal ni Kaila, na binabansagan ng ilang viewers bilang "girl crush."
Ilang fans din ang tinutukso si Max kay Jose "JB" Bonifacio, na ginagampanan ni Richard Gutierrez.
“Well, first, I wanna say thank you so much. Thank you talaga kasi, uhm, we’ve all worked really hard for Incognito. I put a lot of heart into it as well.
"And kami, as a group, talagang nagtutulungan kami at nagbabantayan kami to make sure that the characters keep getting better every week and that the action scenes keep improving.
“So, I’m super, super grateful. I can’t say anything more than the fact that I’m grateful.
“Grateful ako sa mga nagmamahal kay Max at sa journey ni Max.
"And I’m also very flattered sa mga JB-Max fans. Thank you, nakakatuwa!”
Ang guarantee ni Kaila sa viewers, “Marami pa, marami pang mangyayari—a lot of very intense scenes, missions, and magagandang locations."
