Kimerald will set hearts on fire

By Isah V. Red

IF IT’S not September, you’d think it’s Valentine’s Day on the 26th. Yes, that’s when the teen romantic flick I’ve Fallen For You opens in theaters nationwide. The movie, which marks the official entry of Lino Cayetano in the realm of moviemaking, stars the most exciting teamup ever imagined on television and now crossing over to films—Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson.

Cayetano started his career as director in television. Remember the first and most successful StarStruck edition on GMA Network? This is the guy responsible for that breakthrough show. But his ultimate goal is to be able to make a movie, and Star Cinema has made that a reality.

But it is the tandem of Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson that is setting hearts on fire since they became an item inside the Big Brother House where they met as housemates for the reality TV’s Teen Edition. Kim became the Big Winner, while Gerald settled for the third spot.

Kim’s win didn’t stop third-placer Gerald from making a connection with the teenager from Cebu. Since both of them speak the same dialect—Gerald lived in General Santos when their family decided to move back to the Philippines from the US— it seemed easy for these two southerners to get into a getting-to-know-each-other mode, which is actually the first step in a romantic scenario.

While the two have been together in movie before—that was the smorgasbord of a teen flick called First Day High—this is their first outing as a romantic tandem.

In the top-rating soap opera Sana Maulit Muli, the two cemented their stature as the teen love team to beat.
