Kim Chiu excited over her 18th birthday celebration
Julie Bonifacio ( PEP ) 04.17.08

Excited na ang kauna-unahang Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition big winner na si Kim Chiu sa kanyang bonggang 18th birthday celebration sa April 26, sa The Glass House sa Pasig City. Ang actual birthday ni Kim ay sa Sabado, April 19.

Tatlong gown ang nakalinyang isusuot ni Kim na gawa ng designer na si Francis Libiran. Isa para sa grand entrance niya, isa para sa sayaw, at yung pangatlo ay para sa party. Ang ka-love team at kasamahan dati sa PBB na si Gerald Anderson ang escort ni Kim sa kanyang debut party.

May inihanda na bang regalo si Gerald sa kanya?

"Hindi naman mahilig sa gift ang taong yun kung walang special occasion. Ewan ko , wala siyang sinasabi. Hindi ko nga alam kung naaalala niya ang birthday ko," may himig-tampong sagot ni Kim sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

Last Sunday sa ASAP '08, binigyan si Kim ng special 18th birthday celebration kung saan kabilang sa mga nagsayaw sa kanya ang kanyang ama.

"Opo, nagulat ako nung sumayaw siya. Kaya lang naputulan siya kasi ‘tapos na ang kanta."

Alam daw ni Kim na darating ang papa niya sa ASAP '08.

"Nakakatuwa kasi yung costume a la Mano Po raw. Sabi niya, ‘Ano yung susuutin ko? Yung sumbrebro na may mahabang buhok?' Magwi-wig daw siya. Sabi ko, ‘Huwag na, yung simple lang.' Pero hindi ko maisip na sasayaw siya sa ASAP," natatawang kuwento pa ng dalagang Cebuana.

WISHING FOR MAMA'S RETURN. Meron ba siyang special wish sa kanyang 18th birthday?

"Hiling ko na super-special, na sana magparamdam man lang sa akin yung nanay ko. Kahit konti lang, kahit slight lang."

Anong gagawin niya kapag dumating ang mama niya sa debut niya?

"E, siyempre yayakapin ko siya. ‘Tsaka ano, nakakagulat kasi ang tagal-tagal na. Nine years old pa lang ako nung iwan niya ako. Ngayon, 19 na ako. Kaya ‘ayun."

Nami-miss din niya ang kanyang mama?

"Oo naman, syempre. Kahit sino naman nami-miss ang sariling ina."

Magiging masaya raw si Kim kahit isang araw na mabuo ang kanyang pamilya lalo na sa kanyang birthday.

"Imposible kasi siyang mangyari, e. Kaya kung mangyayari man yun, siyempre magpapasalamat ako kay God. Sobrang suwertre ko siguro sa birthday kong yun. Yun ang birthday ko na hindi ko malilimutan."

Bakit niya nasabing imposibleng mangyari? Gaano ba kalayo ang mama niya?

"Hindi ko alam. Wala kaming alam kung nasaan siya, kung ano ang ginagawa niya."

Pero sigurado ba siya na buhay pa ang mama niya?

"Ewan ko. Hindi ko rin alam," unsure na sagot ni Kim.

Baka sakaling mabasa ng kanyang mama ang artikulong ito meron ba siyang mensahe sa kanyang mama?

"Ah, kung nasaan ka man ngayon, mag-iingat ka diyan. ‘Tsaka sana okey ka."

BIRTHDAY GIFTS. Ano naman ang birthday gift niya sa sarili?

"Nakabili na ako, e. Yung malaking aircon sa sala. Kasi ang mahal. Sabi ko sige na nga, ito na lang ang gift ko sa sarili ko. Lalo na ngayong summer kaya kailangan ng aircon."

Suut-suot naman ni Kim ang set na gold necklace and earrings na may malalaking pearl na bigay ng Auntie Helen niya sa Cebu sa birthday presscon niya. Bukod sa mga nabanggit, meron pa ba siyang gusto sa birthday niya?

"Wish ko, sana magkaroon ako ng kotse na kulay pink. Wish ko lang po yun," natatawang tapos ni Kim.

COMING BACK TO CEBU. Nung huling guesting niya sa The Buzz last Sunday, tinanong siya ng guest co-host ng show na si Anne Curtis tungkol sa kanyang first kiss. Ni-reveal niya na natikman niya ang kanyang first kiss not from co-star Gerald Anderson, but from her ex-boyfriend back in Cebu.

"Si Gerald po, sa I've Fallen For You, kiniss niya ako. Offcam? Sa ex [boyfriend] ko lang po," kuwento pa ni Kim.

Bahagi ng TV special ni Kim for her 18th birthday ay ang homecoming niya sa Cebu. Nakita ba niya roon ang kanyang ex-boyfriend noong nag-tape na sila roon for her TV special?

"Hindi, e. Tinawagan lang kasi kung sino yung pupunta sa school, kung sino ang available."

Ano nga ba ang nangyari sa pag-uwi niyang muli sa Cebu?

"Ah, nung pagdating ko, pumunta kami agad doon sa store [tindahan ng lola niya]. Pinakita yung sinasakyan ko, kung anong number ng jeep papunta doon. ‘Tsaka ano, kung saan ako lagi naglalakad, sa may school. Ano ang ginagawa namin ng mga classmates ko," kuwento pa ni Kim sa kung ano ang mga kinunan para sa kanyang TV special.

"Pagkatapos ng klase nagba-basketball kami lagi ng mga classmates ko, ‘ayun. Marami, maraming-marami," tukoy ni Kim tungkol sa kanyang fun memories nung nag-aaral pa siya noon sa Cebu before PBB Teen Edition happened. "Na-miss ko nga ang Cebu. Ang dami nang nagbago. May mga stores na sa Fuente. Nawala na yung dating kinakainan namin ng mga kaklase ko."

PREVENTING PREGNANCY. Sa edad ni Kim ngayon, may mga kabataan nang nabubuntis. Ano ang gagawin niya kapag nangyari sa kanya ang ganun? Ano ang gagawin niya para hindi siya mabuntis agad tulad ng iba?

"Ah, unang-una, nasa isip ko na yun. Ang dami ko nang napapanood sa TV ngayon na nabubuntis. Pero ako, ayoko. Priority ko kasi ang pamilya ko.

"Kung mabuntis ako mawawalan na kami ng kabuhayan. Kasi itong showbiz lang talaga yung kinakapitan namin. Ako kasi yung breadwinner ng pamilya ko. Kapag nabuntis ako siyempre wala na. Wala nang career, wala na lahat. Saan na mapupunta ang mga kapatid ko?

"Kaya yung love life, huwag muna yun. Darating naman yung time na magkaka-baby. Magpapakasal muna, ganyan."

WHAT TO EXPECT ON HER DEBUT PARTY. Ano naman ang magaganap sa kanyang debut on April 26?

"Ito ang unang-unang modern debut na gagawin. Hindi na siya old style na debut na may 18 roses. Naka-gown kami pero nakausot kami ng rubber shoes."

Si Kim daw mismo ang gumawa ng listahan ng mga iimbitahin. Siya ang namili kung sino ang kanyang iimbitahin. Pati ba sa cotillion ay siya rin ang namili na makakasama?

"Ako rin po. Sina Olyn [Meimban], sina Brenda [Fox], si Cathy Gonzaga, si Regine [Angeles], si Wendy [Valdez)], si Carla [Humphries], si Melissa [Ricks], si Erich [Gonzales], marami sila. Sa mga lalaki naman sina Jason [Abalos], si Rodjun [Cruz], mga PBB na kasamahan ko, marami. Ano, nakaka-touch nga kasi ginagawa nila ‘yon for the love lang."

What about her friends sa Cebu?

"Yung iba darating, yung iba hindi," pagtatapos ni Kim.



Debutante Kim wants pink car
Ethel Ramos ( Malaya ) 04.17.08

Kim Chiu, grand winner of the first "Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition," is turning 18 on April 19. The party, however, will be held on April 26 at The Glass Garden.

"My gosh," Kim gushed. "I cannot believe I’m having a grand party. Kasi plano ko talaga was to celebrate the occasion ng walang fanfare. Ganun naman ang mga elder sisters ko. Walang anything special na nagaganap on their 18th birthday.

"I’m so thankful talaga to Star Magic for honoring me with this party."

Star Magic, which handles Kim’s career, is the talent arm of ABS-CBN.

"Ang Star Magic ang nagplano at sila rin ang mag-e-execute ng lahat na mangyayari sa party," she added.

The debutante will wear a gown designed and executed by Francis Libiran. Food will be served by Hizon’s. The decoration of the venue will be handled by Lily Flower Boutique. Souvenir items will be courtesy of Charms and Crystals.

"My debut will be totally different, I am told, from the traditional coming-out party," said Kim. "Una, hindi ako magkakaroon ng 18 roses. There will neither be a dance number where 18 teens, including the debutante, will be participating."

Her escort will be perennial movie and TV partner Gerald Anderson.

*******************************************************

We asked Kim what she wants as a birthday gift.

She smiled before answering: "Sana a car, a pink car."

Does she know how to drive?

"Yes," she quickly replied. "Minsan, kapag malapit lang ang pupuntahan ko, I usually ask my driver to allow me to drive. Kaya nga, right after my debut, I’d like to apply for a driver’s license."

From her earnings, Kim’s dad has brought her a Fortuner, which she uses to attend her commitments.

Kim, together with Gerald, will soon be seen in the horror series, "Maligno," topbilled by Claudine Barretto and Diether Ocampo. She and Gerald are also currently working on the localized version of the Korean televenovela, "My Girl."



Kim finds it difficult to act angry at her idol Claudine
Rommel Placente ( PEP ) 04.17.08

Kasama si Kim Chiu sa bagong horror series ng ABS-CBN na Maligno, kung saan ginagampanan niya ang papel ng isang news reporter. Kasama rin ni Kim dito sina Claudine Barretto, Diether Ocampo, Rafael Rosell, at ang kanyang ka-love team na si Gerald Anderson.

Very open si Kim sa pagsasabing matagal na niyang idol si Claudine. Kaya naman sa una nilang pagsasama sa isang proyekto ay aminado ang young actress na hindi siya makaarte nang maayos kapag si Claudine na ang kaeksena niya.

"Nahiya po talaga ako sa kanya dun sa eksena namin na magagalit na ako sa kanya, yung duduruin ko na siya. Nahihiya akong sigawan siya, nahiya talaga ako. Kasi, di ba, idol mo ‘tapos sisigawan mo, duduruin mo, sasaktan mo? Kahit po eksena lang yun, talagang nahihiya ako sa kanya," tila nahihiya pang lahad ni Kim sa presscon cum press preview ng Maligno kagabi, April 16, sa Studio 1 ng ABS-CBN.

Pero ayon kay Kim, pinayuhan naman daw siya ni Claudine na huwag mailang sa kanya.

"Sabi po niya sa akin, 'Relax lang, anak. Ganyan, ganyan.' Pero hindi pa rin ako nare-relax. Nakakalimutan ko pa rin yung mga linya ko, lahat. Pati pag-iyak ko, hindi ko na magawa.

"Sabi pa ni Ate Claudine sa akin, 'Alam ko magaling ka. Alam ko marami ka pang ilalabas. Huwag kang mahiya sa akin.' Sabi ko, ‘Nahihiya po kasi ako. Kasi po ang galing-galing ninyo. Kanina pa kayo umiiyak. Ako, hindi ko magawa.' Sabi niya, 'Huwag mong isipin na ako si Claudine. Isipin mo lang na ako yung pumatay sa nanay mo. Huwag kang mahiya na saktan ako. ‘Tapos nakailang takes, apat o lima yata," kuwento ni Kim.

Naniniwala ba si Kim na totoong may maligno?

"Opo, natatakot nga po ako ‘pag ako lang mag-isa. Kasi baka may tumabi po sa akin na something," nakakatuwang sagot ng winner ng unang Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition.

Pero bakit tinanggap niya ang Maligno?

"Gusto ko po kasing tumanggap ng challenging role, yung kakaiba naman. Hindi yung pa-cute lang na lagi kong ginagawa sa screen. Bale first mature role ko nga po itong sa Maligno," sagot ni Kim.

"GERALD IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND." Kapag tinatanong naman si Kim kung boyfriend na niya ang ka-loveteam niyang si Gerald Anderson, ang lagi niyang sinasagot ay magkaibigan lang sila. Pero marami ang nagsasabi na may namumuo nang relasyon sa pagitan nila at inililihim lang daw nila ito.

"Ay hindi, wala po kaming inililihim ni Gerald. Kasi magkaibigan lang naman po talaga kami," giit ni Kim.

Dagdag pa ng dalaga, kung sakaling maging boyfriend niya si Gerald ay hindi nila ito ililihim.

"Aaminin po namin ito sa lahat para naman po matuwa din yung mga fans," sabi niya.

Noong hindi pa artista si Kim ay nagka-boyfriend na siya. Sa tingin kaya ni Kim ay si Gerald na ang susunod niyang magiging boyfriend?

"Hala! Hindi po natin alam. Siguro!" sambit niya.

Ano ang pinakagusto niyang ugali ni Gerald?

"Ang gusto ko sa kanya, yung pinapasaya niya yung lahat ng mga tao. Yung pagiging matulungin niya. Kahit sino ka man, tutulungan ka niya," sagot ni Kim.

Ano naman ang pinakaayaw niyang ugali ni Gerald, kung meron man?

"Yung sa mood swings. Parang okay ka ngayon, bukas hindi na. Mabait ka ngayon, bukas hindi na. May ganoon siya," natatawang pagtatapos ni Kim, na magde-debut na sa April 19.



Kim on her debut: Parang fairytale
( Journal Online ) 04.17.08
As I take my stand and get ready to soar the vast sky, it would please me to have you by my side.” The very first PBB Teens grand winner is now a lady. ABS-CBN Star Magic jewel Kim Chiu celebrates her debut on April 26 at The Glass Garden in Santolan, Pasig.

The debut will be the main feature of the television special “My Girl Turns 18” which will be aired on May 4, Sunday at 9:30 p.m. on ABS-CBN2. Her gowns for her pictorials and the debut are created by Francis Libiran. The sumptuous food will be catered by Hizon’s and the venue will be beautified by Lily Flower Boutique. Souvenirs will be from Charms and Crystals. She is very excited but at the same time, scared and a bit shy about her forthcoming celebration.

According to Kim, “Dati pinapanood ko lang sa TV ang mga debut ng mga artista at dreaming na ako ‘yon. Kaya naman this is really a dream come true for me. Para talagang fairy tale!”

Of course, Gerald Anderson will be her escort during the debut party. But she clarifies: “Hindi po ito traditional na debut party. Hip hop po ito,” she giggles. “Walang cotillion. Gusto ko naman po maiba.”

Her PBB Teens housemates will be there to celebrate with her. Of course, her whole family will support her on her special day. Will she invite her estranged mother?

“Wag na po natin siyang pag-usapan,” she pleads. “Masaya na po siya sa buhay niya.”

Kim will soon be seen on television in “Maligno.” She is very happy to be given a chance to work with Claudine Barretto. Her happiness soared to greater heights when she was surprised in a presscon where the announcement was made regarding her being the star of the localized version of the famous Korean telenovela “My Girl”. In both shows, she will still be teamed with Gerald Anderson.

For someone who has been in the industry for just a few years, Kim has quite a number of endorsements up her sleeve. She endorses Bench, Bantex, Jollibee, Whisper, PH Care, Natasha, Unisilver, Rejoice, Belo Medical Group, Close Up and Executive Optical. She is also being sponsored by Skechers USA, Skechers Time, Sheene, Monami Gel Pens, Advance Notebooks, Dr. Gan, Sepa Accessories, Charms and Crystals and ABS-CBN Interactive.



Dino Erece ( Journal Online ) 04.17.08

Hinahanda na si Kim Chiu ng ABS-CBN as the next leading lady.

Magbi-birthday si Kim this April 19. She’s turning 18 and the girl is now a lady. May isang fairy-tale motif party na inihanda ang Star Magic for her on April 26 sa The Glass Garden.

Magkakaroon din ng special taped segments sa pagbabalik ni Kim recently sa kanyang hometown sa Cebu at magiging part ito ng TV special niyang My Girl Turns 18 na ipalalabas naman on May 4, Sunday, right after PBB Teen Edition Plus.

So many good things coming her way. Magsisi-mula na ang Maligno, her first Sineserye Presents Susan Roces Collection kasama sina Claudine Barretto, Diether Ocampo, Rafael Rosell and her partner Gerald Anderson.

Nakapag-pictorial na rin siya for her next solo soap, ang My Girl. Kahit sumasalang na ang PBB Teen Edition Plus, hindi pa rin siya pinababayaan ng ABS at Star Magic.



Ricardo F. Lo ( Philippine Star ) 04.17.08

ABS-CBN Star Magic jewel Kim Chiu will have her debut on April 26 at The Glass Garden. The affair will be the main feature of the TV special My Girl Turns 18 which is airing on May 4, Sunday, 9:30 p.m. Kim’s gowns for the pictorial and her debut were designed by Francis Libiran. Food will be catered by Hizon’s and the venue will be “beautified” by Lily Flower Boutique. Souvenirs are courtesy of Charms & Crystals. As she turns 18, Kim said she’s overwhelmed by all the blessings coming her way. She’s in the cast of Maligno, with Claudine Barretto reprising the role played by Susan Roces in the movie version, and she ‘s one of the favorite young endorsers (Bench, Bantex, Jollibee, Whisper, PH Care, Belo Medical Clinic among them).



Kim, Hindi pabubuntis kay Gerald!
Dondon Sermino ( Abante Online ) 04.16.08

Hanggang ngayon ay parang nananaginip pa rin si Kim Chiu, at hindi makapaniwala, na ang pinanonood niya noon, ang siyang mangyayari sa kanya noon.

Kuwento ni Kim, pinagpuyatan niyang panoorin sa TV ang debut special ni Heart Evangelista sa ABS-CBN 2. Gandang-ganda raw siya noon, at inimadyin na siya ang nakasuot ng gown ni Heart.

Hindi nga akalain ni Kim, na ang nangyari kay Heart noon ay magaganap din sa kanya ngayon.

Sa April 26 nga ay magsi-celebrate si Kim ng kanyang ika-18th birthday sa The Glass Garden. Ang debut ni Kim ang magiging main feature sa TV special na My Girl Turns 18, na ipalalabas sa May 4, Sunday at 9:30 pm.

Si Francis Libiran ang gagawa ng tatlong gown na susuotin ni Kim. Ang Hizon’s ang naka-assign sa pagkain, ang Lily Flower Boutique ang magpapaulan ng bulaklak sa kanyang party, at siyempre, ang Charms and Crystals ang magbibigay ng mga souvenirs sa kanyang mga bisita.

“Dati pinapanood ko lang sa TV ang mga debut ng mga artista at dreaming na ako nga ‘yon. This is really a dream come true for me. Parang fairy tale!” say ni Kim.

Naku, baka naman tumulad si Kim sa ibang kabataang artista, na matapos mag-debut ay nagpabuntis agad? Baka naman matapos ang ilang linggo, hayun ay mababalita na agad si Kim na nabuntis ni Gerald Anderson?

“Hindi po ako magpapabuntis! Mahal na mahal ko po ang trabaho ko.

“Kung mabubuntis po ako, magugutom po ang pamil­ya ko! Wala na pong ikabubuhay ang pamilya ko.

“Ako po ang breadwinner sa amin. So, pag nabuntis po ako at nawalan nang trabaho, magugutom po ang pamilya ko. Hindi ko po kaya na magutom ang pamilya ko. Takot po akong mabuntis!” prangkahang sabi ni Kim.

Kunsabagay, sabi nga ni Kim, hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa siya sigurado kung handa na siyang magka-boyfriend muli.

“Puwedeng oo, puwede ring hindi. Mahirap magsalita, dahil baka mamaya, hindi pa pala ako ready. Hintayin na lang po natin kung may manliligaw ako na magugustuhan ko,” say niya.

Siyempre, si Gerald Anderson ang inaasahan na magiging boyfriend ni Kim, lalo na at si Gerald din ang magiging escort niya sa kanyang debut.

Siyanga pala, kasama si Kim sa bagong teleserye na pagbibidahan ni Claudine Barretto, ang Maligno. At siya rin ang magbibida sa localized version ng sikat na Korean telenovela, ang My Girl.



A “hip hop” debut for Kim
Edgar O. Cruz ( Yehey ) 04.16.08

ABS-CBN Star Magic jewel Kim Chiu celebrates her debut on April 26 at The Glass Garden. She will be wearing Sketchers rubber shoes with her powder pink formal gown as designed by Francis Libiran. (Francis, BTW, designed Anne Curtis award-winning knee-length gown at the First Star Magic Ball.) And Kim is not the only one who’s doing the same but the Star Magic boys and girls (mostly housemates from “Pinoy Big Brother”) who will make up her entourage. There’s no Cotillion as Kim’s wanted. In its place, there will be a lot of current dances with Kim’s four brothers doing a special dance number. Her father and love tandem Gerald Anderson will be her last dance although Kim is not ready to say who among them will be the “last-last” dance.

According to Kim, “Dati pinapanood ko lang sa TV ang mga debut ng mga artista at dreaming na ako ‘yon. Kaya naman this is really a dream come true for me. Para talagang fairy tale!” She will be wearing two other dresses designed by Francis. The sumptuous food will be catered by Hizon’s and the venue will be beautified by Lily Flower Boutique. Souvenirs will be from Charms and Crystals. The debut will be the main feature of the television special “My Girl Turns 18” which will be aired by ABS-CBN on May 4, Sunday, at 9:30 p.m. It will also feature Kim’s return to Cebu last weekend when she traced her past, showing people and places important to her during pre-fame days.

In charge of over-all preparations including haggling for ex-deals in Star Magic’s under recognized publicity and promotions manager Erika Dylan. (You deserve promotion yourself girl!)



Sana magparamdam ang nanay ko
Vinia Vivar ( Journal Online ) 04.16.08

Handang-handa na si Kim Chiu para sa kanyang grand debut party na gaganapin sa April 26 sa The Glass Garden courtesy of Star Magic.

Nakapag-fit na siya ng kanyang gowns na gagamitin designed by Francis Libiran. Tatlong gowns ang gagamitin ng first PBB Teen grand winner at gustung-gusto ni Kim ang kulay na champagne pink.

Excited siya but at the same time, ninenerbyos dahil hindi akalaing mararanasan niya ang ganito karangyang debut.

“Dati, pinapanood ko lang sa tv ang debut ng mga artista at dreaming na ako ’yun. Kaya naman this is really a dream come true for me. Parang fairy tale,” sabi niya.

Dahil Star Magic ang nakaaalam ng lahat ng preparations for the party, ani Kim, kaunti lang ang alam niyang magaganap at hindi sinasabi sa kanya ang iba.

“Basta ang alam ko lang po, may modern cotillion. As in, modern talaga, dahil naka-rubber shoes kami habang naka-gown. Tapos magsasayaw ’yung mga kapatid ko. Silang apat. Nakakatuwa nga kasi, nahihiya sila, pero kailangan daw nilang gawin. Sabi ko nga, ‘gawin n’yo na, gift n’yo na lang sa akin.’ Sasayaw sila ng hip hop, ’yung dalawang ate ko, ’yung kuya ko, at saka ’yung bunso.

“’Yun pa lang ang alam ko,” say niya.

Alam din niyang si Gerald Anderson ang magiging escort niya, pero hindi pa rin daw niya alam kung ano ang gagawin nito. Tinatanong nga raw niya ang ka-loveteam pero hindi rin nito alam.

Ano naman ang birthday wish niya?

“Sana magparamdam man lang ang nanay ko, kahit konti lang, kahit slight lang,” she said.

Matatandaang umalis ang nanay ni Kim when she was nine years old and since then, hindi na niya ito nakita. Wala rin daw silang balita rito and hindi rin niya sure if she’s still alive.

Kahit alam daw niyang imposible na magpakita ang mother niya sa kanyang debut, kung sakali raw, siya na ang pinakamasayang debutante sa buong mundo at sobrang ipagpapasalamat daw niya ito.

Ang birthday gift naman niya sa sarili ay ang malaking aircon na binili niya para sa sala nila.

“Ang mahal kasi, kaya naisip ko na sige na nga, ito na lang ang birthday gift ko sa sarili ko,” natatawang say ng young actress.

Pero ang gusto raw niyang matanggap talaga ay isang brand new car. Kaya, paging Star Magic...

Anyway, ang bonggang debut ni Kim ay mapapanood sa ABS-CBN-2 on May 4, Sunday, 9:30 p.m., titled My Girl Turns 18.

Star Magic thanks Hizon’s catering, na siyang magke-cater ng food, Lily Flower Boutique para sa mga bulaklak na gagamitin, at Charms and Crystals for the souvenirs.



Vinia Vivar ( Journal Online ) 04.15.08

Ayon kay Kim Chiu, puwede na siyang mag-boyfriend ngayong 18 na siya.
She’s celebrating her debut on April 19 at may inihahandang malaking party para sa kanya ang Star Magic.

As everybody knows, pinakamalapit na kandidato kung sakaling magkakaroon na ng boyfriend si Kim ay ang kapareha niyang si Gerald Anderson, na siya ring magiging escort niya sa kanyang debut party.

Matagal nang usap-usapan na sila na, pero inililihim lang dahil umano sa ama ni Kim na tutol makipag-boyfriend ang anak.

Hanggang sa nabalita pang split na sila kahit hindi pa sila umaamin. Ngayon, mukhang okay na naman sina Kim at Gerald, na magkasama sa napakalaking proyektong My Girl ng ABS-CBN.

Ngayong pinapayagan na siyang makipag-boyfriend, fans are expecting na ia-announce na nina Kim at Gerald ang kanilang tunay na relasyon.

Nagsisimula na ang acting workshop ng buong cast ng My Girl na sina Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Enchong Dee, Cathy Gonzaga, Regine Angeles, NiƱa Jose at ang bagong talent na si David Chua.

Sa workshop pa lang, masaya na agad ang samahan ng mga bagets at positibo sila na lalo pa itong gaganda kapag nagsimula na silang mag-taping.

Sabi nga ni Enchong, “Sina Kimerald (Kim at Gerald), super fun to work with, lalo na with the rest of the cast. ’Yung older cast, malapit na naming ma-meet. So, we’re really looking forward to it.”

Gagampanan ni Enchong ang papel ng best friend ni Gerald na labis ding nagmamahal kay Kim habang si NiƱa naman ang girlfriend ni Gerald na may pagka-kontrabida.

Sa Mayo na ipalalabas ang My Girl, pero sa totoo lang, ang Kimerald fans ay halos hilahin na ang mga araw dahil sabik na sabik nang mapanood ang naturang serye.

Kimerald tandem is come-on of ‘My Girl’
Crsipina Martinez-Belen ( Manila Bulletin Online ) 04.13.08

Here’s another first from the Kapamilya Network, a localized version of the hit Koreanovela "My Girl."

ABS–CBN signed up recently with SBS Korea to make a Philippine version of the drama series.

Starring in "My Girl" are Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu, more popularly known as the Kimerald tandem. It is a loveteam that is "cute, fresh and young, and definitely has that ‘kilig’ factor so it’s a tandem that’s not bad to gamble on," said a production executive in charge of "My Girl." The Kimerald tandem has been proven via the teleserye "Sana Maulit Muli" which has been dubbed in different languages and which was also a big hit in Taiwan. It will also be shown in Cambodia and Vietnam soon.

Gerald, who’s among the most handsome and talented among Star Magic talents, is very excited about his role. He has seen "My Girl" and he likes Julian, who’s a strong character, he said.

Gerald is only 19 but in the forthcoming teleserye, he’ll be playing a much older guy. Asked how he’ll be able to tackle such a role, Gerard said "I’ll be attending an acting workshop for this, and I’ll also do something to improve my physique by going to the gym," he said. And if he can relate to the role, it’s because he would like to run his own business, maybe a restaurant, someday.

His role as Julian in "My Girl," which is expected to be a big hit in the country and also around Asia, is that of a post-college yuppie who comes home to take care of their family’s business. It would be a role that’s quite serious and to provide Gerald with the necessary corporate image, the production team in charge of the teleserye has tapped the services of two top designers.

Chinese Cutie Kim Chiu was chosen as the leading lady (Jasmine) who was surprised and even cried during the announcement at the Dream Big Press Con. In terms of who would be her partner, it was the talk of the town as people had their own speculations on who would luckily land the part. The role was indeed meant for Gerald Anderson.

Not long after being known to the public, various projects came pouring in, from his starring role in "Sana Maulit Muli" to the fantaserye "Love Spell Presents: Cindy-rella." And now, "My Girl," the newest series people will go crazy over.

Having been part of two movies, "First Day High" and "I’ve Fallen For You," Gerald became one of the most in demand artist in TV guestings and endorsements not only because of his popularity and talent but also due to his wholesome image as a role model.

In just a year, the multi-talented Fil-Am has already received dozens of awards. Some of his nominations include the Most Promising Male Star for First Day High of GMMSF’s 37th Box-Office Entertainment Awards, Best New Movie Actors for First Day

High on the 23rd Star Awards for Movies and Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actor for First Day High from the ENPRESS Golden Screen Awards.



Cast of "My Girl" all set to shoot
Reyma Buan-Deveza ( ABS-CBN News ) 04.10.08

The cast of ABS-CBN's upcoming television series are now busy preparing for the local version of the hit Koreanovela, "My Girl."

Teen stars Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson with the rest of the cast: Enchong Dee, Cathy Gonzaga, Regine Angeles, Nina Jose and new talent David Chua recently had their Korean-style sexy pictorial in a beach set-up.

They are also working on improving their craft.

"Nagwo-workshop po kami at saka si Gerald," Kim Chiu told abs-cbnNEWS.com inside the ABS-CBN compound.

The cast members are excited since they are getting to know each other, and having fun while bonding.

But aside from having fun, they are getting ready for their special characterization for their individual roles.

Viewers can expect the stars to be fully prepared for a great performance.

Chiu said that after her last taping day for the horror series "Maligno" with Claudine Barretto, they will start to shoot for "My Girl."

During a previous press conference, Chiu got a shock when she learned that she had landed the lead role in "My Girl."

"My Girl" is ABS-CBN's first franchise drama from SBS Korea. The series is a story of love and friendship.



Kim and Gerald will do it!
( Showbuzzer ) 04.13.08

The tandem of Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson is one of the most endearing ones in showbizness. Maybe the most endearing of this current generation of young actors. I’ve declared it a million times that I’m a fan of the loveteam. Call me baduy and cheap but I don’t care. I love seeing the two together because they look good together.

Kim and Gerald proved their clout when their soap opera Sana Maulit Muli lorded over the ratings. I remember when that show started. Hopes weren’t that high and expectations were low since Kim and Gerald’s stardom wasn’t even proven then. Sure they made it big in PBB teens and they have a horde of screaming fans who follow them everywhere even if they go to Jupiter but that time, it didn’t still prove anything.

Until Sana Maulit Muli became a certified hit.

Since then, people considered the Kimerald tandem a force to reckon with.

Now that both are awarded the lead role in the Philippine adaptation of My Girl, many people, Showbuzzer included are so happy and excited for the two. Of course some are crying and wailing that the two wouldn’t be able to give justice to the show but let’s give them a chance OK?

The question is, since the roles in the Koreanovela are more mature than what Kim and Gerald normally do, what will they do to prepare for the role? Eh diba may kissing scenes dun? Or since the characters are mature, will they have a love scene!??!

Anyway, if that were true, I don’t care. Maybe it’s time that the two showcase what they have and we give them a chance to grow up. After all, they can’t be cutesy-patootsy forever no!

Kim, Gerald drama series a hit in Taiwan
Nestor Cuartero ( Tempo ) 04.09.08

JUST A THOUGHT: Being clever is when you believe only half of what you hear. Being brilliant is when you know which half to believe in.

A monetary lull halted the joint careers of loveteam Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu. After the former ‘Pinoy Big Brother’ sensations clinched a hit in the teleserye ‘Sana Maulit Muli,’ not much, surprisingly, was heard of the young pairing on the teleserye scene.

Little did we know that they had spread their wings on Asian shores. ‘Sana Maulit Muli’ has been sold in Taiwan, where it was reportedly a big hit. The popular series will soon also air in Cambodia, where it will be dubbed in Khmer, and also in Vietnam.

Kimerald’s Asian connection doesn’t stop there. The popular team has just been assigned to do the Filipino version of the Korean romantic mini-series, ‘My Girl.’

The series is the first of what may be a series of productions based on Koreanovelas following a deal sealed between ABS-CBN and SBS Korea. The Filipino ‘My Girl’ is similarly eyeing an Asian distribution network.

Meeting the media recently, Gerald Anderson downplayed criticisms that he looked too young for the role of ‘My Girl’s’ boyfriend. In the original Korean production, a more mature man played the part.

Gerald said he was willing to take a gamble, look older than his actual age, which is 19, just to maintain the role and be with his favorite girl, Kim. Kimerald had earlier done two movies, ‘First Day High’ and ‘I’ve Fallen For You.’



‘MY GIRL’ CAST COMPLETE
Mario E. Bautista ( Journal Online ) 04.07.08

THE cast of the Tagalog version of the Koreanovela, “My Girl”, ABS-CBN’s star studded summer offering, is now complete.

Two of the most popular teen stars Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson will be joined by Enchong Dee, Cathy Gonzaga, Regine Angeles, NiƱa Jose and newest talent, David Chua. NiƱa, now managed by Manny Valera and who made a splash with her sexy pictorial in FHM, is glad to be back with ABS-CBN, which discovered her in PBB Teens. “I’m also glad to be working with Kim and Gerald na mga ka-batch ko sa first PBB Teens,” she adds.

As a treat for excited viewers, the stars had their pictorial for an exclusive spread in this month’s Star Studio magazine. Because this is a summer offering, the set-up was a beach complete with sand, beach balls and of course, the teens’ sexy attires. Contrary to the allegations of some folks that their photos look cheap, ABS spent so much to make their summer looks truly unique and the production team even imported a genuine Korean stylist! Jackie Hsin is the man behind their Korean style fashion, which gives the teleserye more authentic Korean flavor! Watch out for more updates on My Girl!



Kim hindi nasulot ni Sam kay Gerald
Tonee Coraza ( Journal Online ) 04.07.08

Now it can be told, never daw na kinonsider si Sam Milby sa Tagalog adaptation ng Koreanovela na My Girl. Kasi, may nakatakda na raw gawin si Sam na bagong teleserye after Maging Sino Ka Man. Ito ‘yung Diosa ni Anne Curtis.

Si Gerald Anderson daw talaga ang nasa isip ng production na magiging kapa-reha ni Kim Chui para sa My Girl.

Nagkataon lang na hindi nila kaagad na-announce ‘yun kaya nagkaroon tuloy ng maraming haka-haka tungkol sa magiging possible na new partner ni Kim.

Nadawit ang pangalan ni Sam, kasi nabanggit ni Kim sa isang interbyu na si Sam daw ang gusto niyang maging kapareha kung sakaling bi-bigyan siya ng bagong partner sa My Girl. At nagkaroon ng malaking clamor para dito sa internet.

Pero, heto at napagdesis-yunan nga ng ABS-CBN na sina Kim at Gerald na naman ang pagtambalin sa My Girl, kasi malakas naman talaga raw ang team-up nila as pro-ven by their first teleserye na Sana Maulit Muli na kasalukuyang umiikot ngayon sa ibang bansa ng Asya.

At dahil ipapalabas ito ngayong summer ay mag-ready na raw ang fans nina Kim at Gerald na mapanood ang mga idolo nila na nakasuot ng swimwear sa bagong teleserye.

Kaya ngayon pa lang ay nagwu-workout na si Gerald para gumanda ang katawan niya at para tumanda ang itsura niya kasi he’ll be potra-ying Julian who’s 21 years old sa original teleplay ng My Girl.

Sigurado kaming mara-ming baklita ang gustong makita na si Gerald na nakasuot ng bikini trunks. Dapat din siguro na mag-gain ng weight si Kim dahil patpatin pa siya ngayon.

Mas maganda kasi kung may curves na lalabas kapag nakasuot na siya ng two-piece bikini.



Gerald Anderson is Julian in My Girl
Isah V. Red ( Manila Standard Today ) 04.05.08

Not about to join the mass exodus to Laos of star wannabes whose fate was doomed from the very start, Gerald Anderson is determined although in his own quiet way to stay in local show business for as long as he can. Those who have written him off as a goner will be forced to eat their words because the young man is back in harness and proving to all and sundry that he’s the hottest leading man on television among actors his age.

Gerald has grown taller. His nearly towering height is now matched with a physique worthy of a gigantic billboard along Edsa and can give any hunk a run for his money. “I am working out regularly now,” says the teen heartthrob who turned 19 last March 7.

The decision to go on a regular physical fitness regimen stemmed from the fact that he has been tapped by ABS-CBN to play Julian, the love interest of Jasmine in the Filipino adaptation of the Korean hit drama series My Girl!

Although not a few fans of the series disagreed with the choice, Gerald is unfazed, albeit challenged to prove his detractors that the people behind the Filipino version of the popular Koreanovela made the rght choice.

“I have gone through [acting] workshops to prepare myself,” he told a group of writers who came to see him for the announcement of the network of its choice of actor to play Julian.

The Philippine version of My Girl! is the first in Philippine television, and ABS-CBN is proud to announce that it has inked a deal with SBS Korea. The series, said Roldeo Endrinal, the executive in charge of production for the series, is expected to become a big hit in the country and even around Asia.

Kim Chiu has been named to play Jasmine. The announcement came as a big surprise for the first Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Big Winner. She couldn’t hold back her tears when she learned that she had bagged the role during Dream Big Press Conference.

Gerald Anderson, meanwhile, wasn’t too sure that he’d be playing Julian. There were speculations that the production team was toying around with the idea of pairing off a slightly older actor with Kim.

After weighing the pros and cons of a possible Kimerald tandem once more, Endrinal and his team decided to peg the role with Gerald.

Endrinal added, “We thought that the fans of Kim and Gerald deserve another primetime series. After all, their love team is still hot not only across the country but in different parts of Asia as well.”

Not very many know that Sana Maulit Muli, the first series that paired off Gerald and Kim, has been shown in other countries and dubbed in different languages. It was a big hit in Taiwan and will be shown in Cambodia (dubbed in Khmer) and Vietnam soon. In fact, the Korean producers of My Girl! are very excited over the tandem because according to them, they certainly fit the roles to a “T.”

Bokbok and Poknat have become part of the national consciousness. Those who followed Sana Maulit Muli are yearning to see the two in a romantic jaunt again.

Fans will have to wait a couple of months more to see the Kimerald tandem on screen again. Meanwhile, Gerald is making sure his Julian will live up to the expectations of not only his loyal fans but the fanatics of the Korean original drama.

“This is one of the biggest challenges in my life, especially as an actor,” he said.

The Julian character in the series is 21. While there isn’t much difference physically between a 21-year-old guy and someone who’s only 19, Gerald is preparing to make himself convincing as a 21-year-old man on screen.

I have to see that for myself.



Gerald denies canoodling with other girls
Jet Valle ( Business Mirror ) 04.04.08
My girlfriend Sarah would launch a jihad just to kiss Gerald Anderson. That’s how much she is in love with this boy.

Sarah won’t admit her age to anyone of us. All that she will tell us is that if she does indeed get into a relationship with the young actor, she would be sentenced to death. But she won’t mind getting electrified or injected with a lethal amount of poison because she is utterly so into Gerald.

When she learned that I talked with the young actor recently without me bringing her along, she got royally miffed. Until now she refuses to text me back. Oh, well, she can read about my moment with the actor here....

It’s final—you are Kim Chiu’s partner in the Philippine remake of My Girl. There were talks that the project wouldn’t be handed to you. What can you say about this?

I believe things happen for a reason and if this project hadn’t been given to me, I would’ve accepted it. Of course, I would feel sad, since I believe in it so much, but I know I would move on.

There were talks that Sam Milby would be Kim’s partner because some quarters were insisting that you’re too young for the lead male character in the remake.

Well, I can’t please everybody. Sam would’ve also been great in the role, I’m sure, but all that talk only pushes me to work harder to prove the disbelievers, my critics wrong. I have to say that there are also a lot of people who support me and even fought for me to get the role and I am grateful to them. I will do my best not to let them down.

I guess the Kim Chiu loyalists are reacting to the items that have come out linking you to other girls. Let’s set the record straight. Did you really court young actress Empress Schuck?

That all started when I visited a friend on Game Ka Na Ba? and Empress was one of the contestants in the show. One thing led to another and some camps were insisting that I visited her, but that’s not true. Empress is just a friend.

What about this 15-year-old nonshowbiz girl who even put a picture in Friendster to prove that you have a relationship?

Well, that’s just it—a picture. I don’t know who she is and I don’t remember meeting her. You guys even know more about our “supposed” relationship than me. (Laughs)

OK, let’s talk about your relationship with Kim. I’m sure you will say you’re just friends, but how special is she to you?

She is very special, the most special girl in my life right now. But a lot of factors come in, that’s why it’s very hard to have a relationship right now, especially with her. I like her very much and she has a special place in my heart.

Her birthday is coming up. Her debut actually. Any plans?

Well, I’ve been planning a few things but nothing concrete yet. Even my gift for her. This is a special day for her, so I know I have to get her something extra special. I have some sort of a clue but nothing is final.



Gerald Anderson is all set to play Julian on My Girl
( ABS-CBN Interactive ) 04.03.08
"I feel very lucky to have been chosen for the part. This is the most mature role that's ever been given to me and I feel very excited. I’m looking forward to the part," says Gerald Anderson who has been tapped to play opposite Kim Chiu in the Tagalog adaptation of the Koreanovela My Girl. The 19-year-old admits that the role of Julian, a corporate-minded guy who returns to the country to manage his family's hotel business, is his most challenging role to date.

To prepare for his role as the serious Julian, Gerald reveals he’s been working out more at Kim&Geraldthe gym and attending acting workshops to get in shape for the part both physically and mentally. The PBB Teen alumni will be playing a character that is 21 years old, but Gerald sees this as a welcome challenge. He also admits that he has no problem doing kissing scenes, as long as his co-star is comfortable with it too. ”Me and the character are different because he's so focused on their business. Sana someday I'll have my own business rin. Aside from yung difference rin sa edad namin, he's really stiff, which is something I also have to learn," he explains.

Other members of the cast include Ronaldo Valdez, Bing Loyzaga, and another PBB Teen alumni Nina Jose.. "We tried to come up with a cast that is not just locally appealing, but [also one] that we can be proud to sell abroad. Since we're doing it for the first time, the first franchise format, we have to make sure that it is worth selling abroad. We're not just looking at the local market or the TFC market, but to other Asian countries as well," adds Biboy Arboleda, Ad and Promo Head for Deo Endrinal’s business unit.

When it comes to the treatment of the story, ABS-CBN Business Unit Head Deo Edrinal shares, "We're retaining the basic core of the story, but we're ‘Philippinizing’ it in so many ways. So it's going to be different. Ours is a combination of drama and comedy. It's a younger version definitely. The number of episodes is slightly more as well. Our version should run for about 16 to 20 hours." The show, which starts taping on the first week of April, is looking to shoot at various locations in Baguio. They have also gotten the services of a Korean hair and makeup group for the look of the stars. They also are getting help from one or two fashion designers to beef up the wardrobe. "Since hotel business yung storyline, mas structured yung wardrobe, so Gerald will be wearing more of day and evening suits," Arboleda explains.

There's definitely a lot of anticipation from fans and crew alike, as everyone can't wait to see My Girl hit Philippine primetime TV. "Natutuwa ako na magkakasama na naman kami ulit ni Kim. Malaking project ito para sa akin and I've always wanted to do another series after Sana Maulit Muli," Gerald says.

According to Director Eric Salud, "Nung holy week, pinanuod ko yung series, as in sobra akong na-excite, gusto ko na mag-start kasi kinikilig ako kay Julian at Jasmine. Magdadagdag kami ng konti sa storyline like the bonding between Julian and his lolo, plus Jasmine and her father. Marami na po kaming naiisip na hindi makakasira sa kuwento. So abangan niyo po." Watch for My Girl weeknights on primetime bida this coming May.

Gerald Anderson stars in Pinoy version of "My Girl"
Alex Datu ( PEP ) 04.02.08
ABS-CBN has collaborated with SBS Korea to localize the Korean romantic comedy My Girl. Si Kim Chiu, ang Chinese cutie ng Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition One, ang napiling gaganap na bida, si Jasmine, samantalang ang kanyang love team partner na si Gerald Anderson ang gaganap bilang Julian.

Ang Kimerald tandem ay nakilala sa teleseryeng Sana Maulit Muli at ito ay matagumpay na naipalabas sa Taiwan at ngayon nai-dub na sa iba't ibang mga wika dahil susunod itong ipapalabas sa Cambodia at sa Vietnam.

Kapamilya Network executives are confident that Gerald is now ready for a mature role. Management believes that Gerald will effectively portray Julian's character. His role is the heir of a big corporation and because of certain circumstances, Jasmine and Julian will be forced to live in a web of lies and deceits.

The 19-year-old actor will doing the role of a 21-year old yuppie who comes home from abroad to join his family in running their family business: a hotel and a resort.

"Mas adult po siya dito, we packed it on a corporate level yet napilitan po siyang magpa-corporate at a very young age kasi po 'yon po ang dikta ng pamilya niya sa negosyo nila. But beyond that corporate mask will be the young man that he actually is when he falls in love," paliwanag ng advertising and promo manager ng bagong serye na si Biboy Arboleda tungkol sa magiging kautahan ni Gerald sa My Girl.

Dagdag pa niya, "We are trying to tap one to two fashion designers kasi po more on the hotel business, kaya medyo structured and tapered ang day suits at evening casual suits ni Gerald dito sa My Girl. We will have a meeting with two designers for them to submit the designs and colors to choose from, para po maiba.

"Actually, we have a Korean styling company who's helping us, again, we're meeting halfway. Saka huwag natin i-expect na dapat magsimula silang matanda kasi the Philippines is a younger version of My Girl. We tried to come up with a cast, not just be locally appealing, but has to be something that we can be proud to sell abroad.

"Because we're doing this for the first time, first franchise, we want to make sure that this one is worth selling abroad. We are not just looking at the local market, we are not just looking at our TFC market, we're looking forward to selling it to the other Asian regions," ani Biboy.

Ayon naman sa ABS-CBN business unit head na si Deo Endrinal, may mga pagbabago silang ginawa sa istorya ng My Girl. "We are retaining the basic core of the story but we are Filipinizing it in so many ways. Mag-iiba ng konti ang trabaho nila but the resort will be there. Di ba, they own a hotel, this time they own a resort kasi medyo summer na sa atin. There are no oranges but we have strawberries fields in Baguio. So it's going to be different but we retain the basic core of the story. We strenghtened the relationship of the Lolo and Julian and also the relationship of Jasmine with her father. Mas magdi-dig deeper tayo sa characterization nila. So, the Korean version is really faster but ours is a combination of drama and comedy and, of course, romance."

Ayon naman sa bidang lalaki na si Gerald, "Ang feeling ko naman, siyempre, excited ako. It's my first time kasi 21 [years old] dito si Julian, I'm gonna go through some workshops para mas matanda 'yong dating ko, 'yong acting ko, at internally also."



GERALD: ‘DI AKO MAGSASAWA KAY KIM
Mario E. Bautista ( Journal Online ) 04.02.08

Is Gerald Anderson peeved when some folks say it’s better for Kim Chiu to be paired with Sam Milby in the local version of “My Girl”, the first Filipino version of a Koreanovela? “No, that’s their opinion and I respect it,” he says. “But the ABS management chose me to be reunited with Kim after we did ‘Sana Maulit Muli’, which was very successful even in Taiwan and will also soon be shown in Vietnam and Cambodia, so wala na akong magagawa na hindi napagbigyan ang request nila.”

Is he bothered that it’s Kim herself who allegedly requested for Sam? “According to Kim, hindi naman niya direktang ni-request si Sam. Someone just asked her kung sino ang pipiliin niya sakaling hindi ako puwede sa show and she said si Sam kasi ito ang kumanta ng theme song ng ‘My Girl’, which is true naman. Pero kung sakaling ipareha man si Kim sa iba, that’s also fine with me.”

He will play Julian and Kim will play Jasmine. What’s the status of their relationship now? “We remain very close. When I celebrated my 19th birthday last month, she gave me a wakeboard kasi alam niyang it’s my favorite sport now. When she celebrates naman her debut on April 19, I will be her official escort. And when she gets to be 18, her dad says puwede na siyang officially ligawan.”

Won’t they get tired of each other? “Imposibleng magsawa kami sa isa’t isa as we really enjoy each other’s company. And the more we get to know each other, mas lalo rin naming naa-appreciate and isa’t isa. Magkasama rin kami sa ‘Maligno’ ni Claudine Barretto and now, we’ll be seeing more of each other sa taping ng ‘My Girl’.”



Fans protest against Gerald
Remy Umerez ( Journal Online ) 04.01.08

Birthday boy Gerald Anderson who turned 19 last March has been chosen to play Julian in the Pinoy version of the Korean telenovela, “My Girl” amidst protest from some die-hard followers of the series that he is too young for the role.

Management, however, insists that a thorough acting workshop and special make-up would easily make Gerald look mature or older to Kim Chiu’s younger character as Jasmine.

Spokesman for the local version said that there were other actors considered (but pleaded not to mention who they are) for the role of Julian and Sam Milby was not among them. For the record it was Sam who sang the theme song of My Girl.

It is not difficult to figure out why the role went to Gerald. The love team of Kim and Gerald prevailed. Their teleserye “Sana Maulit Muli” was so successful it has been dubbed in different languages and was such a big hit when shown in Taiwan.
The teleserye is so Asian friendly that the Cambodians and Vietnamese people await its version. It is predicted that My Girl series in its Pinoy version will be a big success, too.

In the local version, Julian is a post college yuppie who goes home from abroad. He is a professional and moves a lot in the corporate world.

TV executive Deo Edrinal says that they will retain the memorable scenes contained in the original and even stick to the original lines simply because, “Hahanapin ito ng mga followers ng Korean telenovela and they will be disappointed kapag hindi ito nakita.

With regards to that scene with oranges abound, we will probably substitute strawberries at siyempre ang location will be Baguio. The basic core of the story is intact especially the strenghtening relationship between the major characters.”

My Girl orginated in Japan as a comic character. Soon, Korea picked it up and turned it into a telenovela. ABS-CBN feels very fortunate to have succeeded in closing a deal with SBS Korea for its Pinoy adaptation.

Had he not been chosen to play Julian, how would Gerald have felt?

“There must be a good reason kung nangyari iyon. But since it was entrusted to me ay gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya para hindi ma-disappoint ang mga televiewers lalo na ang mga sumubaybay sa Korean telenovela na ito.”

His leading lady Kim Chiu is celebrating her 18th birthday this April. What would be his gift to her, if there is any?

“Meron po siyempre,” he says. “But I cannot reveal what it is dahil it is meant to be a surprise.”

Dahil kaharap si Gerald Anderson, hindi magkandatuto si Kim Chiu sa pagpapaliwanag nang tanungin kung bakit nasabi niyang si Sam Milby ang gusto niyang maging leading man sa My Girl, hindi si Gerald.

Nakatingin pa naman ito sa kanya habang nagpapaliwanag, kaya feeling namin ay na-tense ang young actress.

Ayon sa explanation ni Kim, tinanong daw siya ng press kung sino pa ang iba niyang gustong maging leading man kung hindi puwede si Gerald.

“Wala naman akong maisip, tapos sabi nila, ‘sige na,’ ‘sige na.’ So, ang nasabi ko na lang ay si Sam, kasi siya ’yung kumanta ng My Girl theme song,” sabi ni Kim.

Tiningnan namin ang reaksyon ni Gerald sa paliwanag ni Kim at mukhang kuntento naman siya dahil napangiti siya.

Matatandaang may version si Sam ng kantang My Girl, kaya ang Fil-am actor nga ang napiling kumanta ng theme song ng Pinoy version ng nasabing Koreanovela nina Kim at Gerald.

Kim will be playing the character of Jasmine at si Gerald naman ay si Julian. Ang lolo ni Gerald ay gagampanan ni Ronaldo Valdez at ’yung tennis girl na third party sa buhay nina Jasmine at Julian ay pinag-iisipan pa.

But according to business unit head Deo Endrinal, si NiƱa Jose ang nasa isip nilang kunin.



“My Girl” will be localized
Edgar O. Cruz ( Yehey ) 04.01.08

It’s sure! Kim Chui as Jasmine and Gerald Anderson as Julian are going to lead the remake of the blockbuster feel-good Korean telenovela “My Girl.” “Instead of oranges, we may use strawberries,” reveal Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal who is the executive in-charge of the country’s first franchise soap opera. The local version will be shot in Baguio where strawberries grow abundantly. In the beginning of the original story, oranges play an important role in connecting Jasmine and Julian. In the local version, Deo is thinking of using strawberries in place of oranges as they don’t grow here. He said the main scenes will be retained as viewers will naturally look for them. Besides the setting, the local “My Girl” will make the characterizations Pinoy. Deo adds, “The relationship between Julian and his grandfather will be strengthened.”



Veronica R. Samio ( Philstar ) 04.01.08

Sa dami ng mga tina*tanggap kong email na tumatangging ibigay ng ABS-CBN kay Gerald Anderson ang role ni Julian, ang businessman na magiging love interest ni Kim Chiu sa pinakaunang franchise na telenovela ng ABS-CBN, ang My Girl. Mas boto sila na kay Sam Milby mapunta ang role. Mas bagay daw ito sa role.

Unfortunately for them, the network has decided, si Gerald ang gaganap ng role ng businessman. By the time na mabasa n’yo ito, baka nagsisimula nang mag-gym si Gerald para mag*karo’n ng konting muscles. Baka nagsimula na rin siyang mag-fitting ng mga isusuot niyang corporate clothes. So you see, pwedeng ma-attain ng kahit na sino ang magmukhang executive, pwede rin itong mapag-aralan, kahit na si Gerald.

Sa mga fans ni Sam, ABS-CBN says na he was never considered for the role dahil may gagawin siyang Diosa with Anne Curtis. Isa pa, siya ang kakanta ng theme song ng My Girl na ini-record niya nung kalalabas pa lamang niya sa PBB.
