Gerald goes on a Valentine’s group date with Sarah

Gerald Anderson was hesitant to admit it. But he finally revealed that he and Sarah Geronimo had a group date in a karaoke bar on Tuesday, Valentine’s Day.

“Ininvite ko sya. Yes, magkasama kami, it was a group date. Marami kami. Thankful ako for the opportunity na makasama ko sya,” Gerald said at the press conference for his new endorsement, Mint clothing at Napa Restaurant in Quezon City on Thursday, February 16.

Gerald was tightlipped when pressed for further details about their date, saying that he wants to keep his personal life private and that he wants to give the company sponsoring the event the respect it deserves.

“Tulad ng mga personal issues ko and personal life ko, akin na lang po iyon. Meron po akong pwedeng ishare sa inyo, meron akong pwedeng i-share sa mga fans at para sa akin,” he said.

Nothing wrong

Asked further about their date, Gerald said he doesn’t see anything wrong if he and Sarah go out on a date since they are single.

“Kumbaga, hindi naman dahil sa nakasama ko si Sarah sa Valentine’s Day eh nagmamadali kami. Single sya, single ako, wala namang masama doon,” he said.
Gerald and Sarah worked together in two movies and many people support their tandem.

“Sa ngayon, friends po kami. Yun ang pinakamalinaw doon.

She’s a good friend,” he said.

Gerald shared that he respects Sarah and her family a lot. “Masaya ako na mas nakakilala ko pa sya. Ayun, like yung mga simpleng pagsasama lang. Yung mga bonding moments pag magkasama kami,” he said.

Is the Tiffany necklace he gave Sarah last Christmas a sign that he is courting the pop princess?

“Tignan natin, wag po tayo magmamadali,” he said.

Meantime, Gerald is happy “Budoy” is getting positive feedback and that his TV drama is rating well.

He recently shaved his head to make his portrayal of a cancer victim in the said series more realistic.

“Sa ngayon, masaya ako sa project na ginagawa ko. Kasi natutuwa ako sa reaction ng mga tao pag nakikita nila ako, parang nakikita talaga nila si Budoy. Yung mukha nila nagkakaroon sila ng pagasa, it’s very fulfilling,” Gerald said.

He expressed gratitude to his previous endorsement, Bench, which he helped push for many years.
“Mahirap rin (to leave Bench) kasi doon po ako nagsimula. And with Mint, I’m very excited to be part of their family. I personally like their designs,” Gerald explained.
