Gerald on why he stopped wooing Sarah: ‘I’ve done enough fighting’

Actor Gerald Anderson has confirmed that he and singer-actress Sarah Geronimo have stopped communicating after they were linked romantically earlier this year.

Just when fans had assumed that the handsome 23-year-old might be the first man to win the approval of Sarah’s notoriously overprotective parents and become her first official boyfriend, it was reported in July that the budding romance had been nipped.

At a press conference for his FHM Collections magazine cover on Thursday, Gerald appealed to his and Sarah’s fans for acceptance.

“Nangyari na po ang dapat mangyari so kailangan ho natin tanggapin at move on,” he told News5.

Convinced that he and Sarah truly love each other, fans of their loveteam are not likely to give up so easily.

Gerald is overwhelmed by their loyalty. ”Thank you, thank you po. Sobra po kaming blessed for that,” he said.

However, he is aware that the fans have laid the blame for the aborted romance on Sarah’s mother, known in showbiz as Mommy Divine.

Once again, Gerald appealed for acceptance as well as respect for Sarah’s family.

“Bigyan na lang ho natin ng respeto ‘yung pamilya nila, si Sarah, ‘yung mommy niya. Kasi no one deserves that…Lalo na kung masama lang sasabihin natin.

“Sabay-sabay na ho tayo mag move on, and let’s just give everybody respect and privacy… Pati rin ho sa akin,” he said.

Gerald believes Sarah is worth keeping as a friend. But asked if she is worth fighting for as a girlfriend, he gave this pointed reply: “Well, I’ve done enough fighting. Lahat naman tayo we fight, di ba? We fight for our own reasons.”

Sarah, Anne, KC headline Viva TV’s cable offerings

Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, and KC Concepcion headline the flagship programs of Viva TV, the Viva Entertainment Group’s latest foray into cable television.

Viva’s top three leading ladies star in their own original shows for the channel whose line-up of programs tilts towards reality programming.

Their shows will follow them as they attend their various showbiz engagements and go about their professional commitments.

The weekly 30-minute programs are entitled “@nnebishowsa”, “Popstar Diaries”, and “kc.com”, respectively.

“Viva TV is the first local cable channel that offers 100 percent new and original Filipino content,” notes Vincent del Rosario, executive vice president of Viva Communications Inc. “We really steered clear of the kind of shows that viewers can watch on network TV.”

Viva TV is also home to the first regular television shows of ace comedian Jon Santos and Youtube sensation Ashley Rivera, who is more popularly known for her funny girl character Petra Mahalimuyak.

“The Jon Santos Show” is a weekly one-hour talk show featuring Jon’s gallery of characters including Sherap Espada, Armeeda Siguion Macareyna, and Meeryam Santiago.

Ashley makes the jump from the internet to television with “Petra’s Panniest”, a 30-minute program showcasing a round-up of the funniest scenes from Viva movies and videos from the internet. The show airs three times a week.

Another Viva TV banner show is a reality series called “Pantaxa”. Hosted by erstwhile “pantasya ng bayan” Katya Santos and Maui Taylor, the show follows 6 of the sexiest, most promising new young actresses in showbiz as they dare and bare their body, mind, heart and soul in their search for stardom.

“We have more original shows in various stages of development that we hope to launch within the next few months,” del Rosario says. “Our main aim is to provide the best all-Pinoy alternative viewing fare to local TV audiences.”

Viva TV debuts nationwide this month through most cable operators, including Cignal.
