MANILA - Actor Gerald Anderson opened up about his relationship with actress Maja Salvador.
In an interview aired on the ABS-CBN morning show "Umagang Kay Ganda" on Friday, Anderson shared what he believes are the reasons why his relationship with Salvador remains strong.
"You have to stay real, 'yung totoo... Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mayroon ako but isang goal sa buhay ko na I want to make someone happy," he said.
"I'm just happy that it's working," he added. "I get to work and my relationship is working, so okay naman. Masaya naman ako."
Anderson also noted how Salvador is a very sweet person.
"Mas malambing siya," he said.
Anderson's relationship with Salvador has attracted controversy as the latter used to be the best friend of his ex-girlfriend, actress Kim Chiu.
The actor shared the most important thing he learned from Salvador amid the controversy -- to fight for his happiness.
"Napakaimportante din kasi is to be happy, be content. Be happy and fight for what you want. Kung ano ang gusto mo, kung ano ang kailangan mo ay ipaglaban mo," he said.
Anderson is now promoting his film, "On The Job," and a new soap titled "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" which will premiere this Monday (September 2).
