Falling for Gerald & Kim
CONVERSATIONS With Ricky Lo
Sunday, September 23, 2007



Have Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu fallen for each other, not just for reel but for real?

Their fans would love that to happen even as they themselves have fallen hard for Gerald and Kim who were a hit inside Pinoy Big Brother’s (PBB) house where they were discovered — and won their own following with their unguarded cute moments captured “live” by hidden cameras — and out of it.

Gerald, 17 (last March 7, Pisces), and Kim, 17 (last April 19, an Arian), were top-raters in their first soap starrer, ABS-CBN’s Sana Maulit Muli. After their first movie, First Day High (with Jason Abalos and Maja Salvador, another young loveteam), the former PBB housemates are starring in I’ve Fallen For You, directed by newcomer Lino Cayetano from a story/screenplay by Mel del Rosario, which Star Cinema is marketing as “a Valentine movie in September” (opening nationwide on Wednesday, Sept. 26) calculated to turn their fans kilig na kilig all the more. The movie is about how the young deal with affairs of the heart and then some.

Conversations put Gerald and Kim to a “compatibility test” a few months ago and here’s how they fared in the “If I were” department:

• FLOWER — Gerald: Rose...Kim: White Rose

• TREE — Gerald: Redwood...Kim: Narra

• ANIMAL — Gerald: Lion...Kim: Butterfly

• PERFUME — Gerald: Glamlab...Kim: Glamlab

• PART OF THE HOUSE — Gerald: The door...Kim: The living room

• FRUIT — Gerald: Banana...Kim: Mango

• CITY — Gerald: St. Louis...Kim: Paris

• HERO — Gerald: Dr. Jose Rizal...Kim: Ninoy Aquino

• PIECE OF JEWELRY -— Gerald: An earring...Kim: A diamond earring

• JUICE — Gerald: Banana juice...Kim: Just water

• HOLLYWOOD ACTOR — Gerald: Denzel Washington...Kim: Jessica Alba

• PIECE OF FURNITURE: Gerald: A TV set...Kim: A chair

• COLOR: Gerald: Red...Kim: Pink

Let’s find out further if Gerald and Kim do match.

What have you discovered about each other inside Big Brother’s house and out of it, and on the set of I’ve Fallen For You?

Gerald: Inside Big Brother’s house, we hardly did anything except sleep and eat, and eat and sleep. Now, Kim and I are both busy with work. Inside Big Brother’s house and out of it, I discovered that Kim is really masipag, matiyaga.

Kim: He hasn’t changed. He still is today what he was inside Big Brother’s house. Mabait pa rin siya.

What do you have in common?

Gerald: Sa food, we have the same preference. Pareho kaming mahilig sa lobster. Kim is fond of siomai which she always eats at home. Sa music, I like R ’n B while Kim likes love songs.

Kim: Sa music, Gerald prefers the noisy kind, ‘yung maiingay. I’m not fond of music. We both love to eat, especially pizza which direk Lino would feed us all the time on the set. Sometimes, Gerald would get irritated when I turn down his invitation for me to eat, dahil hindi naman ako nagugutom. He would say, “Bahala ka na nga!”

How are you similar to each other?

Gerald: We both come from broken families but despite that, we are both strong, pareho kaming matibay.

Kim: It can be sad coming from a broken family. Gerald comes from Gensan and I come from Cebu. Like me, he lives away from his siblings, walang kasamang kapatid. We are both dedicated to our work.

And how are you different from each other?

Kim: Gerald is outgoing and sociable, sobrang friendly siya. He has many showbiz buddies and they play basketball all the time. He’s a go-getter. He plays even with those from the squatter area. Wala siyang pinipili. I’m different from him. During my free time, I’d rather stay home and watch TV.

What is your happiest moment?

Gerald: My stay inside Big Brother’s house. But I was happiest when my family was intact. Do I miss my mom? Of course, I do. My dad is with me here. He has his own work.

Kim: Of course, when I won the PBB because that changed my life altogether. Talagang nabago ang buhay ko. Naging artista ako and now I am able to help my family. I send my siblings to school. My (older) sister is graduating na.

What makes you happy?

Kim: Being able to help my family.

What’s your most embarrassing moment?

Gerald: It happened when I was in pre-school. I peed in my pants at iniwasan ako ng mga classmates ko. Dyahe ‘yon, di ba?

What’s the saddest moment of your life?

Gerald: When I left Big Brother’s house. Inside kasi, I felt like I found several brothers and sisters. I thought that since medyo sikat na ako, baka maging okey na ang pamilya namin. Things didn’t turn out that way. Mas lalong naging complicated. My successful stay inside Big Brother’s house did not, as I hoped it would, help solve our family’s problems.

Kim: When our family broke up at nagkahiwa-hiwalay kami. Also, not knowing if I could continue with my studies.

Have you adjusted to living alone?

Gerald: At first, I thought masaya. Mag-isa ka lang. As the days went on, I started missing them. When I went home from work, hinahanap-hanap ko na ang mga kapatid ko. I was used to going home with food ready on the table. Now, I have to prepare my own food. Malungkot din pala.

What’s the worst thing written or rumored about you and how did you deal with it?

Kim: The tsismis that I sleep in Gerald’s house; na nag-iistambay daw ako doon. I never sleep in his house. Why should I when I have my own house naman. If I don’t sleep in our house, my father will get angry and he will surely look for me.

How do you handle your money?

Gerald: During my first year in showbiz, magastos ako. I asked Mr. M (Johnny Manahan, head of the ABS-CBN Talent Center) to save for me 80 percent of what I earn. The rest, I spend for my needs and for the rent of my place. I help send some of my relatives (nephews and nieces) to school. I also had my mom’s house in Gensan renovated. Pagbalik niya, she will be surprised to see na iba na ang bahay niya, mas bago na.

Kim: Half of my earnings I give to Talent Center kasi my savings ako doon. I don’t touch it. Mr. M assured me that he would take care of my money. He said that he doesn’t want me to be like other stars who squander their money buying and buying things. I divide the other half between my needs and those of my siblings. My father doesn’t have a regular job but he has his own small business; he’s a rice dealer in the Visayas.

Your father has children with his second wife, right?

Kim: Yes. I told him that I would support only my siblings but not his children (with his second wife). He knows that. I want to help my own siblings have a better life.

How do you deal with success and popularity?

Kim: I thank God for all the blessings. I realize that ‘yung pinagdaanan kong hirap ay mayroon palang sukli.

Who’s more moody?

Gerald: I am moody but Kim is more moody. When she’s not in the mood, I stay away from her. I know that she’ll be over it in five minutes.

Kim: It depends. Sometimes, ako; sometimes, siya. I get irked when he would wake me up at kinukulit o kinikiliti niya ako.

What do you usually fight about? How do you make up?

Gerald: Not naman fight but only tampuhan. Pag ako ang may kasalanan, I say “Sorry!” to her at once. But sometimes, even if she’s the one at fault, ako pa rin ang nag so-sorry sa kanya. What do we usually argue about? When I am sleepy and I tease and nag her.

Kim: No serious fights; just tampuhan.

Does Kim have the qualities that you want in an ideal girl?

Gerald: Oo naman. Mabait, maganda and no pretensions. What you see is what you get.

What’s your ideal man?

Kim: Mabait, loyal, gentleman at matiyaga.

Who are your role models?

Gerald: Piolo Pascual and Aga Muhlach. Good men, good actors.

Kim: Claudine Barretto. And Kris Aquino; she’s rich but she’s down-to-earth.

As a role model yourself, are you careful with what you say or do?

Gerald: Yes, of course. I have to set a good example to people my age.

How do you spend your time away from work?

Gerald: I sleep. I play basketball.

Kim: I stay home and watch DVDs.

Okay, what’s the real score between you?

Gerald: Close na close na close na friends. Always there for each other.

In the news...

Kim Chiu harbors no ill feelings about her mother's abandonment
Rose Garcia
September 17, 2007

"Hindi ko nga po alam na may mga questions na ganito... yung tungkol sa mommy ko. Wala, nandiyan na," very honest na pahayag ni Kim Chiu nang makapanayam siya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa second presscon ng launching movie nila ni Gerald Anderson, ang I've Fallen For You ng Star Cinema, kaninang tanghali, September 17, sa 9501 restaurant ng ABS-CBN.

Tinanong si Kim ng PEP kung bakit ngayon ay tila mas open na siyang sumagot ng mga tanong tungkol sa kanyang ina. Dati kasi, iniiwasan talaga ni Kim na sagutin ang anumang question about her mother na nang-iwan sa kanila when she was only nine years old. Simula nga raw nang lumayas ang kanyang ina ay never pa silang kinontak muli or nagkaroon ng kahit isang beses na communication.

Wala po...wala na po kaming kontak," sabi ni Kim. "Hinayaan ko na lang po. Kasi nasa tao naman po ‘yon kung gusto ka niyang makita at makausap. Mahirap din naman pong pilitin kung ayaw naman po pala."

Wala ba siyang ginawang way para hanapin ang ang kanyang ina?

"Ayaw na rin po kasi ng lola ko sa side po ng daddy ko na hanapin po," sagot ng dalaga. "Sa ngayon, okay na rin naman kasi ang family. Baka po kung ano, magkagulo lang din po."

Kung sakali ba at biglang magpakita ang mommy niya, ano kaya ang posible niyang maging reaction?

"Siyempre po, matutuwa ako na dumating siya. Malay mo, dahil sa kanya, maka-bless pa sa movie. Siguro, tatanungin ko na lang siya kung bakit siya umalis, kung bakit niya kami iniwan," sabi ni Kim.

Walong taon na rin simula nang iwan sila ng kanyang ina.

May sama ng loob ba siyang nararamdaman para sa kanyang ina? "Noong una, meron," pag-amin niya. "Pero sabi nga nila, hindi magandang magtanim ng sama ng loob. Kasi kapag galit na galit ka, anong gagawin mo? Nandiyan lang ang galit sa puso mo. Hindi ka magiging masaya. Kaya wala na yung sama ng loob. Wala na, matagal na. Eight years na, e."

Ayaw na nga lang sabihin ni Kim kung ano ang pangalan ng kanyang ina at kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit sila nagawang iwan nito.

"Siyempre, masakit po ‘yon kasi ang bata pa po namin noon. Pero nagsilbi po yung aral sa akin. Na kapag naging mommy na ako, hindi ko iiwan ang mga anak ko para hindi sila masaktan," pangako niya.

Ayon kay Kim, taga-Dumaguete raw ang kanyang ina. Bagama't may dugong Chinese din ito, mas malaki raw ang percentage ng pagiging Filipino nito. Wala rin daw contact ang young actress sa mga relatives niya sa mother side niya dahil kahit daw noong kasama pa nila ang ina ay hindi rin daw niya nakikita ang mga ito.

Tulad niya, wala rin daw itinatanim na sama ng loob ang mga kapatid sa inang nang-iwan sa kanila.

Wala po. Kasi po, ang lola ko po, palagi niya po kaming sinasabihan na hindi naman po kami dapat magtanim ng sama ng loob. Na wala naman daw po kaming dapat na ikagalit," ani Kim. Natatawa na lang daw si Kim dahil simula nang mapanood siya sa Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition hanggang ngayon ay maraming nagpapadala ng letters sa kanya at pictures claiming na sila ang tunay niyang ina.

"Opo...meron po talagang ganoon...may pictures pa nga! Sabi ko nga, ‘Ano ba ‘to?' Yung ibang picture, sobra naman pong Intsik. Kulang na lang po, magpadala sila ng mga 'Made in China.' Nand'yang nasa Cebu raw sila, nasa ganito, tawagan ko raw po... Natatawa na lang kami ni Ate Portia [her handler in Star Magic]. Sabi nga ni Ate Portia, ‘Baka ako pala ang mommy mo!'" natatawang kuwento ni Kim.

Ayon kay Kim, dahil sa pangyayaring ito sa kanyang buhay ay masasabi niyang mas naging better person siya.

"Kasi hindi po ako nag-depend sa magulang ko. Kaya kong mabuhay na ako lang mag-isa," sabi niya.

Hindi rin daw niya masasabing may kulang sa kanya sa kabila ng pagkawala ng kanyang ina. "Sobra-sobra pa nga po," sambit niya.

"Sa lahat ng hiniling ko, sobra-sobra pa po ang ibinigay sa akin. Noon, ang hiniling ko lang po makapasok ako sa PBB, ibinigay po. Tapos sobra-sobra pa po. "Yung tungkol sa mommy ko, tama na po ‘yun, huwag na lang nating pag-usapan," mangiyak-ngiyak na pakiusap niya bilang pagtatapos.
