MANILA – Maja Salvador said she realized how important she is in Gerald Anderson’s life after the actor admitted in the June 2013 issue of StarStudio magazine that they are already in a relationship.
In an interview with “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda aired on Sunday, the 24-year-old actress said the actor’s admission about the real score between them made her realize her worth.
“Nasabi na lang po niya after nung pictorial and interview. Sabi niya ‘Sana okay lang, inamin ko na. Tinanong kasi ako.’ Kung paano niya sinabi sa StarStudio, ganun niya sinabi sa akin. Hinihintay kong bawiin niya kasi akala ko joke lang tapos hindi niya binabawi,” she said.
She added: “Nung araw na sinabi niya sa akin na umamin siya, parang doon ko na-realize kung gaano ako kaimportante at kahalaga sa buhay niya.”
Salvador admitted that she has also said bad things about the actor in the past.
“Aaminin ko, kinain ko ang mga sinabi ko. Marami akong sinasabing masasama sa kanya dati. Never ko naisip na magiging kaibigan ko siya at mai-in love ako sa kanya. Pero nung nakilala ko na 'yung tao, iba. Hindi mo akalain na sa mga ganung pag-uusap lang, sa saglit na pagsasama niyo lang, puwede mo palang mahalin ang tao,” she said.
Asked what she thinks is the best thing about Anderson, Salvador said: “Parang lahat eh. Hindi ko sinasabi ito dahil in love ako. Kapag nakilala mo siya, kaya pala ang daming taong nagmamahal sa kanya at ang daming taong ayaw siyang mawala sa buhay nila.”
Tiff with Kim Chiu
Meanwhile, Salvador admitted that she and her erstwhile best friend and “Ina Kapatid Anak” co-star Kim Chiu have yet to talk.
“[Mahirap] 'yung pupunta ka sa set na iba na. Pero kailangan mo magtrabaho and kailangan mong gawin ng tama ang trabaho mo. Hindi ko po masabing civil [kami ni Kim] kasi hindi pa rin po kami nag-uusap,” she said.
Salvador, however, said she remains hopeful that they will patch things up in the future.
Chiu was in a relationship with Anderson until 2010.
In an earlier interview, Chiu said she has already forgiven Salvador and Anderson but said that “mahirap kalimutan yung ginawa nila sa iyo.”
