MANILA – If there is one thing Gerald Anderson has learned from his past relationships, it is to never hide the one he loves.
That's why he finally admitted that he is in a relationship with actress Maja Salvador.
“I would change not hiding the person I love. Wala akong pinagsisihan ni isang bagay sa buhay ko kasi we learn from it, but that, I would change,” he said in the June 2013 issue of StarStudio magazine.
Anderson said this was among the reasons he decided to end all speculations about the real score between him and Salvador. After all, Anderson said he sees no point in still keeping it from the public.
“Why should I hide this? Why should I hide the person I love? Why should I hide the person who gives me inspiration?” he asked.
He added: “'Yun 'yung advice ko to these new kids who are coming out, never hide your relationship. I think that’s why people have the perception na parang ‘Is this guy for real?’ That’s why they get the perception na ginagamit ko 'yung love team.”
The 24-year-old actor said that up to the day of the StarStudio interview , he still cannot believe that Salvador is already his girlfriend.
Since they began going out late last year, the “friendship” of Anderson and Salvador was immediately met with intrigues, especially since Salvador was, at the time, the best friend of actress Kim Chiu, the former girlfriend of the “Budoy” star.
But Anderson said the only way to proceed with their special relationship was to “keep moving.”
“Alam mo kung mag-asawa man 'yan, mag-girlfriend, magkaibigan, may mga bumps 'yan eh. They’ll always go through the bumps. Minsan may malalaking bumps, minsan may maliliiit na bumps. Alam niyo 'yung mga village na exclusive? Di ba ang lalaki ng bumps doon? Parang ganun. Minsan nandoon ka, minsan nandun ka lang sa EDSA, mga maliliit na bumps,” he explained.
“Ang pinakaimportante, you’re still driving at dirediretso ka. Kung sino man yung nakasakay sa kotse mo, just keep moving with that person. Huwag mo ilalagay sa reverse dahil kapag nilagay mo sa reverse eh di babalik ka lang sa hump,” he added.
After his StarStudio interview, Anderson said he doesn’t want to further discuss his relationship with Salvador.
