Gerald Anderson brings life to a boy diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome
( PeP ) 11.05.09Ngayong Sabado, November 7, ipalalabas na ang Maalaala Mo Kaya episode kunsaan gagampanan ni Gerald Anderson ang buhay ni Jerome, isang lalaking may sakit na Tourette's Syndrome.
Ang TS ay hereditary disorder na may kombinasyon ng attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Ang taong may TS ay gumagawa ng involuntary sounds o movements tulad ng eye-poking, coughing at head-banging. Maaring lalong lumala ang mga simtomas kung pagod o under stress ang pasyente. Ngunit kadalasan ay namimisinterpret lang ito na simpleng kakulitan ng bata kaya hindi agad nada-diagnose na TS.
Bilang preparasyon sa nasabing episode, talagang pinag-aralan ni Gerald ang nuances, o kilos at galaw ni Jerome, dahil nga kakaiba ang sintomas ng nasabing sakit, which involves involuntary jerking ng katawan. Makakasama rin ni Gerald sa nasabing episode ang veteran stars na sina Rio Locsin at Nonie Buencamino. Nasa cast rin ang former Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus housemate na si Robi Domingo, na makakasama nina Gerald at Kim Chiu sa upcoming movie nila under Star Cinema.
Gerald Anderson plays Jerome, a young man diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements. His mother in the November 7 episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya will be portrayed by Rio Locsin.
Abangan ang nakaaantig na episode na ito ng MMK sa direksyon ni Ruel Bayani.
Cast:
Gerald Anderson as Jerome
Rio Locsin as Criselda
Nonie Buencamino as Jaime
John Manalo as Julius
Robi Domingo as Joshua
Mara Montes as Jiezel
Julio Pisk as Young Jerome

I know from your interviews that this is your great motivation for tackling the role.
Advance congratulations and may God bless you always for your kind words about Jerome in the short time you bonded with him.
To be honest this is the first time I heard of the term though I've seen some people with a mild version of it.
Many thanks to ABS CBN, Direk Ruel for this project. After TD, I feel very confident you are up to the challenge! You and Kim have come a long way since PBB! Warmest regards always!
