Actor addresses 'heartbreaker' tag
MANILA, Philippines – Gerald Anderson distanced himself from the reported growing friendship between two women previously romantically linked to him.
Shortly after his Best Actor win at the 10th Golden Screen Awards night on Friday, the 23-year-old Kapamilya actor addressed the publicized friendly encounter between Kim Chiu and Sarah Geronimo, who both had a romantic relationship with Anderson at different times.
"Wala na po ako doon. Silang dalawa na lang ang tanungin niyo. Pero we should be happy for each other, sa lahat," Anderson told reporters on Friday.
Last Sunday, photos of Chiu and Geronimo sharing a hug shortly after the finals night of the songwriting contest Handog P-Pop Love Songs made the rounds online.
Chiu, who was in a relationship with Anderson until 2010, referred to the meeting as unexpected. "Ang gaan sa pakiramdam," she said.
Geronimo, who was openly courted by the actor until their controversial falling out in August last year, said she had wanted to give Chiu a hug as a way of comforting her after a recent controversy involving Anderson and actress Maja Salvador.
Anderson has openly expressed his intentions to court Salvador, Chiu's former best friend and co-star in the drama series "Ina, Kapatid, Anak."
"Dapat naman tayong maging peaceful," Anderson said on Friday, when asked if he has likewise found "peace" like Chiu and Geronimo. “Kumbaga, ang dami ngang gulo sa buong mundo eh. Tayu-tayo pa."
The actor, however, refused to comment when asked if he wishes Salvador and Chiu to reconcile after their alleged falling out over him.
Asked for his reaction to being tagged as a "heartbreaker" and a "playboy," Anderson said, "Hindi ko masagot, dahil alam ko naman po 'yung totoo. Alam ko rin po [na] nakakagawa ako ng mali sa buhay ko."
“I’ve made mistakes, I’ve learned from [them]. Pero kumbaga, alam ko kung ano 'yung mali na 'yun. Iyon lang po ang masasabi ko," he said.
Sharing his intent to learn from his "mistakes," the actor added, "'Yung mga mata natin, nasa harapan ng ulo natin. Kasi you just have to look forward and not look backward, 'di ba? So just learn from mistakes and go forth.”
