Kimerald, keri nang maglaplapan
by Allan Diones ( Abante Tonite ) 01.30.10
Maraming tao sa loob ng sinehan nang manood kami ng Paano Na Kaya? nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson kamakalawa nang hapon sa THX cinema ng TriNoma.

Isang fan mo­vie ang Paano Na Kaya? na ginamitan ng tipikal na formula ng Star Cinema sa kanilang teen romantic flicks, pero in fairness ay matino ang pagkakagawa nito.

Sandamakmak na istorya ng mag-best friend na nagkainlaban na ang napanood natin sa big screen, ang mala­king pagkakaiba lang ay sina Kim at Gerald ang bida rito.

Tama ang sinabi ni Direk Ruel Bayani na med­yo nag-level up na rito ang magka-loveteam dahil hindi na lang puro pa-cute at pakilig ang alam nilang gawin.

Si Kim ang pinakamahirap ang role dahil halos buong pelikula ay umiiyak at nasasaktan ang karakter niyang si Mae Chua, na inlab-in­laban sa bespren niyang si Bogs Marasigan na ginampa­nan ni Gerald.

Parang naawa kami kay Kim dahil sa payat niyang ‘yon ay madalas pa siyang paluhain at api-apihin sa pelikula, pero in fairness to her ay consistent na magaling ang performance niya sa movie.

Mas totoo at mas naramdaman namin ang pagganap niya rito kesa sa I Love You, Goodbye dahil bagay na bagay sa kanya ang role at hindi pilit ang kanyang akting. Tila mas kargado na ng emosyon si Kim pagkatapos ng hit teleserye nila ni Gerald na Ta­yong Dalawa at may le­vel of maturity na ang pag-arte niya. Feeling namin, pagtagal-tagal ay huhusay pa siya at magkakaroon ng lalim bilang aktres

Type na type namin si Kim sa eksenang subtle lang siya’t hindi nag-hysteria nang makita niyang nagmu-moment si Gerald at ang ex-girlfriend nitong si Melissa Ricks.

Klik na klik sa audience ‘yung dayalog niya kay Gerald na, “Sana lumayo ka na lang! Eh kaso, syinota mo ako eh! Syi­nota mo ang best friend mo!” habang huma­hagulgol.

Okey rin si Gerald, pero minsan ay may effort ang akting niya at sa kanilang dalawa ay mas natural si Kim.

Sa mga eksenang topless si Gerald ay kitang-kita ang pagka-yummy niya (lalo na sa slight macho dancing scene niya). Ang guwapo ni Gerald sa screen, na nag-match sa tsinita beauty ni Kim kaya ang lakas ng kanilang chemistry.

Sa tatlong kissing scenes nila ay pinakamahaba ‘yung sa may en­ding na nakabuka ang mga bibig nila habang naghahalikan. At least ay hindi na pa-tweetums sina Kim-Gerald at keri na nilang maglaplapan.

Maganda ang roles dito nina Melissa Ricks at Robi Domingo. Si Melissa bilang nobyang ipinagpalit si Gerald sa ibang lalaki at si Robi bilang kababata ni Kim na may gusto sa kanya.

May special role si Zsa Zsa Padilla bilang ‘cougar’ mommy ni Ge­rald na may nobyong mas bata sa kanya (Guji Lorenzana). Maiksi lang ang role ni Zsa Zsa pero agaw-eksena pa rin siya.

Gerald Anderson signs up for two more Star Cinema movies
by Napoleon Quintos ( ABS-CBN.com ) 01.30.10
Gerald Anderson has a reason to celebrate because apart from the success of Paano Na Kaya?, which raked in P12 million on its opening day, he just signed up for two more movies with Star Cinema. During his contract signing with Star Cinema together with his Paano Na Kaya? leading lady and constant ka-love team Kim Chiu, Gerald expressed his gratitude to his mother film studio. “Sobra kaming natutuwa dahil malakas pa rin ang tiwala ng Star Cinema sa amin at binigyan pa nila kami ng two movies pa. Ang nasa contract namin ni Kim is two movies sa kanya, two movies din sa akin. Ewan ko lang kung magkasama kami dun o hindi. Let’s see.”

There are also plans for a movie that will star Gerald and the other young actors who headlined the action-fantasy series Agimat: Ang mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla. “I’m very excited about that because alam naman nating lahat kung gaano naging successful ‘yung Agimat. Ang taas ng ratings nung sa akin na Tiagong Akyat at ngayon ‘yung Pepeng Agimat ni Jolo (Revilla). Sana matuloy kasi gusto kong magkasama kami sa isang project.” Agimat will next feature Coco Martin in the role of Tonyong Bayawak and Jake Cuenca as Elias Paniki.

The 20-year-old Fil-American cutie is thankful for having one successful project after another, and following the top-rating teleserye Tayong Dalawa, he and Kim proved they also have box-office draw with Paano Na Kaya? “Noong 2009 I was very thankful kasi napakaganda ng year para sa amin because Tayong Dalawa was very successful. Last Christmas I wished na sana magtuloy-tuloy pa ‘yung success. Now pagpasok ng taon napaka-successful ng Paano Na Kaya? at may two movies agad kaming naka-line up so I’m very happy.”

As for the real score between him and Kim, Gerald said that although he has been vocal about his courtship of the young Fil-Chinese actress, they would rather focus on taking care of their love team. “Hindi naman kasi kami nagmamadali. Also mahirap din na pagsabayin ‘yung personal at ang career. Four years na kaming magkasama ni Kim so I think we’re okay.”

Tuwang-tuwa ang magka-loveteam na sina Gerald Anderson at Kim Chiu sa first day outcome ng pelikula nilang Paano Na Kaya na nagbukas nitong Miyerkules sa lahat ng sinehan nationwide. Hindi namin maipinta ang tuwang nararamdaman ng dalawa while taping for their teleseryeng Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo.

Isang text message din mula sa isang Kapamilya ang aming natanggap na nagsasabing: “Hello po! On behalf of our Star Cinema family, we would like to share with you that the Paano Na Kaya movie is doing great in the 12 noon first day of screening! Thank you so much po for your support!”

Bonggang-bongga, ‘di ba? To Star Cinema, mabuhay kayo!

Tumawag sa amin kahapon si Direk Ruel Ba­yani dahil gusto niyang magpasalamat sa lahat ng sumuporta sa pelikula nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson na Paano Na Kaya?

Tuwang-tuwa si Direk Ruel dahil nang mag-ikot siya sa mga sinehan nu’ng opening day ng movie nu’ng Miyerkules ay ang daming taong nanonood at ang ganda ng reaksyon ng audience sa pelikula.

Sobrang thrilled si direk na nag-hit ang latest movie nina Kim at Gerald na naging anak-anakan niya sa Tayong Dalawa na siya rin ang nagdirehe.

Thankful din siya sa all out support ng Kimerald fans lalo pa’t kaya naman daw ginawa ang pelikula ay para sa avid fans nina Kim-Gerald.

Tuwang-tuwa raw ang Star Cinema sa P10M opening day gross ng Paano Na Kaya? Paalis ngayon si Direk Ruel pa-Boracay kasama ang creative team ng ABS-CBN para pag-usapan ang mga gagawing soap ng network ngayong 2010.

Wish ni direk na after ng Kimerald movie ay makagawa siya ng family drama project for Star Cinema.

And it feels like I’m 17 again
by Ria Limjap ( Spot.ph ) 01.29.10
Falling in love with one’s best friend could be a disaster, unless you’re lead characters in a teen flick. Then it’s full of impossibly good looking people and it always ends with a kiss. Paano na Kaya, Star Cinema’s first release for 2010, is a breath of fresh air after all that predictable festival franchise stuff. It’s sweet, airy, and not very complex. It’s like cotton candy in your mouth.

Adorable Kim Chiu plays Mae Chua, a good Filipino-Chinese girl, in love with her impossibly tisoy best friend, Gerald Anderson—equally impossibly called Bogs Marasigan. (Zsa Zsa Padilla plays his boozy socialite of a mother and she’s absolutely fabulous at it.) Mae is secretly in love with Bogs, who is naturally in love with someone else. It doesn’t take a genius (or a psychic) to predict the outcome of this love triangle: Mae becomes his girlfriend but secretly fears she’s just the rebound girl. Meanwhile, the ex girlfriend—who was so neatly disposed of in act one—comes back and so Bogs is forced to ask himself: who does he really love? The delicately lovely, funny, and adoring best friend or the ex-girlfriend and her cheating ways? I mean, honestly.

The good thing is that Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson look really good together on screen and can kiss with enough chemistry to convince us they are in love. Also, in fairness to director Ruel Bayani, the movie is well paced and the supporting cast is wonderful: opposite Zsa Zsa’s glamorous single mother, there’s Rio Locsin as Kim’s martyr of a mom, and Ricky Davao as the overbearing father. I was happy to see Cai Cortez as the sassy best friend (unfortunate about her wardrobe, though) and IC Mendoza as the witty gay sidekick.

Paano na Kaya has all the right ingredients—a strong love team dressed in a lot of cute teeny bopper outfits, a theme song, and lots of marketing from the network—and so it’s not surprising it made 10 million on its first day. And yes, it ends with a big kiss and delivers—albeit predictably—the happy ending, so why not make money off people who need to manufacture synthetic happiness in their lives?

Anyway, good for Kim and Gerald, those kids work hard.

I just wish they would stop using song titles as movie titles. Watch out—John Lloyd and Bea coming in February, yet another song title.

Is Kim Chiu ready to do sexier scenes?
by Fionna Acaba ( ABS-CBN.com ) 01.29.10
Kim Chiu feels overwhelmed with the success of her and Gerald Anderson’s movie Paano Na Kaya. The movie hit ten million pesos on its first day. "Sobrang masaya kami kasi sabi andami daw tao sa mga sinehan, sa Cebu sabi ng kuya ko andami din daw tao tsaka nagsisigawan so parang ang sarap ng feeling kasi yung pinaghirapan namin nabigyan ng pansin kaya sobrang gaan ng feeling."

When Kim Chiu was asked what was the part of the film she can relate to the most in real life she said, "Nung una kaming nag-meet sa PBB (Pinoy Big Brother), medyo masungit ako sa kanya kasi (ang tingin ko sa kanya) ang sungit sungit, amboy-amboy (American boy), ang yabang kaya ayun, ang parang parehas sila noon ng character niya sa movie."

While they are still celebrating the success of Paano Na Kaya, they are already asked to do two more movies under Star Cinema. Kim and Gerald signed respective contracts yesterday, January 28. "Masaya kami dahil malakas pa rin yung tiwala ng Star Cinema sa amin. Super excited kami (although) hindi pa po namin alam kung magkasama kami sa two movies na yun," Gerald said.

With that, Kim Chui was asked if she is ready to play more mature roles that would require intimate scenes and reveal more skin. "Depende kung papayag sila Mr M (Johnny Manahan) na ganun ka-daring yung movie pero (personally) actually sa ngayon hindi pa (ako ready), actually yung katawan ko hindi pa handa magpa-daring kailangan ko pa mag-gain ng weight para mas maganda siya tingnan," Kim said adding she aims to gain at least 10 lbs. this year. Kim says that she will just follow Star Cinema's lead if the film outfit would pair her with other Kapamilya stars in the two movies offered to her.

As for the real score between the two of them, Kim and Gerald could not escape from answering the question why they are still only friends. "Four years na kami magkasama (since Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition), pero hindi kami nagmamadali," said Gerald. "Tsaka pag may away (kagaya ng) ibang love teams, hindi masyado nakakapagtrabaho ng maayos so parang ayaw namin (na mangyari yun) na maapektuhan yung personal life naminat work namin and mahal namin yung trabaho namin na mas importante sa amin kaysa love life."

'Paano Na Kaya?' earns P10M on first day
( abs-cbnNEWS.com ) 01.28.10
MANILA – “Paano Na Kaya?," Star Cinema’s first offering this year, earned P10 million in ticket sales on its first day of screening on Wednesday.

This was according to the data released by Star Cinema's Booking and Distribution Department, “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon” reported.

Under the direction of Ruel S. Bayani, “Paano Na Kaya?" features the hottest love team in show business today - Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson.

"Sobrang overwhelmed kami siyempre na napanood na ng lahat ng tao ang pinaghirapan namin," Bayani said.

Chiu and Anderson, or “Kimerald,” were also ecstatic with the success of their 4th film together.

"Very overwhelming, masaya," Anderson said when told of the film's success.

"Nakakagaan ng loob na nagustuhan nila ang pelikula," Chiu added.

"Paano Na Kaya?" tells the story of Mae (Chiu), who is secretly in love with her best friend, Bogs (Anderson).

But their relationship turns complicated when Anderson's girlfriend, Anna (Melissa Ricks), breaks up with him. The separation sends Bogs into depression, and Mae comes to the rescue.

Mae thinks that the best way to save Bogs from self-destruction is by having a pseudo-relationship or "rebound relationship" with him.

Eventually the 2 fall in love, and from then on, they encounter the complexities or the intricacies of a "rebound relationship."

The cast members also include Cai Cortez, Janus del Prado, Empoy Marquez, IC Mendoza, Kian Kazemi, Bernard Palanca, Robi Domingo and Zsa Zsa Padilla.

by Ethel Ramos ( Malaya ) 01.28.10

After directing them in the ABS-CBN top-rated series, "Tayong Dalawa," Ruel Bayani dreamt of making a movie with Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson.

Well, Direk Ruel’s dream has become a reality when Star Cinema tapped him to direct the Kim-Gerald movie, "Paano Na Kaya?"

"First shooting pa lamang naming tatlo together, I knew things will go smoothly. Lalo on my part. I know both of them too well. Bukod sa mabait at hardworking ang dalawa.

"While directing them in ‘Tayong Dalawa,’ hindi nila ako binigyan ng dahilan para magkaproblema.

"Lahat ng hiniling ko, kahit ‘yung maseselan na eksena in their honeymoon scene ay ginawa nila without complaint."

In "Paano Na Kaya?" the two are also playing mature roles. Naturally, there are scenes which require the two to do things which, perhaps, they have not yet both experienced in real life.

Especially Kim, who confessed that if ever she accepts Gerald’s suit, he will be her first.

We asked Direk Ruel what the real score between Kim and Gerald is.

He answered: "I asked them the same question over and over. At consistent sila sa pagsasagot na ‘MU’ (mutual understanding) lang ang nararamdaman nila sa isa’t isa.

"As of now daw."

“Paano Na Kaya?” 1st Day Box Office Grosses = P12 Million, Winner!
by antoine ( Access Pinoy ) 01.28.10
According to Star Cinema, ang first day grosses of their latest offering — the Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson starrer titled “Paano Na Kaya” grossed P10 million on its first day of showing in theaters nationwide. Tuwang-tuwa raw ang mga tagapamahala at taong bumubuo sa Star Cinema dahil sa tagumpay ng first movie ng film outfit of ABS-CBN. Di pa namin ma-confirm independently kung totoo ang figure na bigay ng Star Cinema, so pu-pwedeng bumaba or tumaas ang figure when everything said and done.

UPDATE: Yung P10 million na grosses ay up to 9:00 pm lang of the first day of showing ng “Paano Na Kaya.” When the day ended and by midnight, naka-P12 million na ang movie ng Kimerald. So congratulations!

Pero sa mga previous figures na released ng Star Cinema sa kanilang movies noon, kung may discrepency man, di ganun kalaki. So it’s safe to say na totoo ang grosses na ‘yan!

Anyway, naglibot kahapon sa mga sinehan ang direktor ng movie na si Ruel Bayani para makita ang dagsa ng mga tao sa pelikula nito. Ubod ng tuwa at galak ang kanyang naramdaman dahil talagang pinanood ng mga tao ang “Paano Na Kaya?” Maganda rin daw ang reaksyon ng mga tao sa loob ng sinehan, an indication that word of mouth for the movie would be positive — translating to more people coming to watch the movie.

Base sa first day grosses ng “Paano Na Kaya?” the movie can already be considered a hit. Winner talaga ang Kimerald! Congratulations to Star Cinema for another job well done. At kung first day grosses ang pag-basehan, malayo ang mararating ng pelikulang ito sa Pinoy Box Office.

Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu offer a feel-good romance in ‘Paano Na Kaya’
by Rachelle Siazon ( ABS-CBN.com ) 01.28.10
The premiere night of Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu’s movie Paano Na Kaya was attended by fans and celebrities who came to show their support for one of the country’s hottest love teams. Kris Aquino, who’s a self-confessed fan of the two, was there with husband James Yap and sons Joshua and baby James. Aside from other cast members like Melissa Ricks and Robi Domingo, other celebrities spotted at the event included Gabby Concepcion, Angelica Panganiban, Coco Martin, Carmen Soo, Maricar Reyes, Jake Cuenca, Jericho Rosales, Karylle, and Jason Abalos to name a few.

Paano Na Kaya is the of story of a girl (Kim) who falls in love with her best friend (Gerald) who’s already committed to someone else (Melissa). Kim’s character becomes her best friend’s taga-ligaw, shock absorber, and even a rebound girlfriend at some point.

The kilig moments between Kim and Gerald who didn’t hold back when it comes to their kissing scenes should be more than enough to keep Kimerald fans happy. Their unexpected hilarious antics also add to the feel-good romance that Paano Na Kaya offers moviegoers.

When it comes to their dramatic scenes, Kim definitely lives up to her title as one of the country’s favorite drama princesses. She delivers some of the movie’s most quotable lines like, “Bogs, tayo na lang. Sana akin ka na lang.” and “Syinota mo ako. Syinota mo ang best friend mo.” Gerald is also a revelation in the film because of his performance in the confrontation scenes and his sexier physique.

Paano Na Kaya also stars ZsaZsa Padilla, Ricky Davao, Rio Locsin, Melissa Ricks, Robi Domingo, Bernard Palanca, Rica Peralejo, Cai Cortez, Janus del Prado, IC Mendoza, Jon Avila, Empoy Marquez, Alwyn Uytingco, and Guji Lorenzana.

When Paano Na Kaya? had its premiere at SM Megamall last Tuesday, just about all the co-stars nina Kim at Gerald sa ongoing series nilang Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo sa ABS-CBN were present.

Si Kris Aquino, gumaganap na mother niya sa serye, came with husband James Yap and son Baby James, who reportedly will also have a part in the TV series.

Kris interviewed Kim and Gerald live on SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon).

Gabby Concepcion, Kris’ lover and Kim’s father in Kung Tayo’y..., arrived late.

Naroroon din si Coco Martin, na popular na ngang talaga dahil the fans really chanted his name habang papasok siya sa sinehan.

Coco plays Kim’s brother naman in Kung Tayo’y...

Also present were Kim and Gerald’s fellow Star Magic talents Jake Cuenca and Aaron Villaflor.

Obvious na kaya nandu’n si Jake ay dahil kay Melissa Ricks, who plays a kontrabida in the movie.

Wala namang kasama si Robbie Domingo nang dumating. Ditto with Ricky Davao.

Manliligaw ni Kim si Robbie sa pelikula. Si Ricky naman ang lumalabas na ama nina Rica at Kim. Singer Karylle was also there, siguro to lend mom Zsa Zsa Padilla moral support.

Zsa Zsa plays Gerald’s pabayang mom in the movie. Later, however, naging mabait at ideal nanay na siya sa anak.

She even left her sweetheart (played by Guji Lorenzana), to prove to her son that she is serious na maging ideal mom.

Others in the cast of Paano Na Kaya? are Rio Locsin, Bernard Palanca, IC Mendoza, Cai Cortez and Empoy Marquez.

* * *


Well, congratulations are in order not just for Bugoy but for the cast and crew ng movie, most especially to Ruel Bayani, who directed Paano na Kaya?

Super lakas sa takilya ang pelikula.

Napatotohanan ang prediction ni Direk Ruel na ang magandang chemistry nina Kim at Gerald sa tv will be enhanced even more sa big screen.

Success din ang desisyon niya to have the two do more mature scenes sa big screen.

Kim and Gerald’s kissing scenes sa last part ng movie are not just fitting but bonuses, especially for the romantics.

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson agree that they're still too young to enter a relationship
by Glen P. Sibonga ( PeP ) 01.27.10
Tuwang-tuwa sina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson dahil sa matagumpay na premiere ng kanilang second major movie under Star Cinema, ang Paano Na Kaya?, na ginanap kagabi, January 26, sa Cinema 10 ng SM Megamall.

Na-interview ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at ilang press sina Kim at Gerald sa cast party ng Paano Na Kaya? sa H.K. Choi restaurant sa Megamall pagkatapos ng premiere night. Labis nga ang pasasalamat ng dalawa sa lahat ng mga nanood at sumuporta sa premiere nila.

"Sobra kaming nagpapasalamat sa mga fans namin, sa mga kaibigan namin, sa mga family namin, sa lahat ng mga sumuporta dito sa premiere night. Sana ganito rin kainit ang pagtanggap ng mga manononood bukas [Jan. 27] sa showing ng Paano Na Kaya?," masayang bulalas ni Gerald.

Dagdag naman ni Kim, "Ang saya-saya po namin ni Gerald dahil ang dami-daming tao. Thank you sa Star Cinema at binigyan nila ulit kami ng another movie para sa mga fans namin."

Ano ang naramdaman nila habang pinapanood nila ang kabuuan ng pelikula?

"Sobra kaming kinakabahan dahil sabay-sabay tayo, e," sabi ni Gerald. "First time din naming mapanood nang buo. At saka iba, e... pag nakikita ko yung sarili ko sa screen, iba, e. Masaya naman kami dahil maganda naman yung outcome. Maganda yung ginawa ni Direk Ruel Bayani. Sobra kaming masaya at confident para bukas o maya-maya sa first day ng showing namin. We're very, very excited."

Ayon naman kay Kim, "Kinabahan kami siyempre dahil alam namin yung mga eksena na mahihirap. Talagang naka-cross fingers na ako. Pero nakakahinga kami nang maluwag dahil pinapalakpakan siya, tinitilian siya ng mga tao. So, parang ang gaan ng feeling, 'Ay, gusto pala nila.' Buti na lang."

IMPROVED ACTORS. Ano ang reaksiyon nila kapag sinasabing aktres na aktres at aktor na aktor na sila sa pelikulang ito?

"Maganda, good feedback, siyempre masaya," sagot ni Gerald. "Kasi pinaghirapan namin itong movie na ito. Sobrang kaming natutuwa na natutuwa rin yung mga tao."

Bakit sa tingin nila click na click ang loveteam nila?

"Well, sa amin ha, hindi sa acting ha... kung kami lang dalawa kumbaga, very natural kami pag magkasama kami. Totoo yung mga ipinapakita namin sa isa't isa. Hindi lang kami basta loveteam na ipinapares. Talagang mula PBB (Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition) magkasama na kami. So, yun," sabi ni Gerald.

SUPPORT FROM KAPAMILYA STARS. Nanood ng premiere ang co-star nila sa ABS-CBN primetime soap na Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo na si Kris Aquino, kasama ang asawa nitong si James Yap at anak na si Baby James. Ano ang feeling nila na todo-suporta si Kris sa loveteam nila?

"Oo nga, e, tinupad niya yung pangako niya sa amin," sabi ni Kim. "Pumunta talaga siya. Siyempre, masayang-masaya kami at nakapanood siya. Lagi siyang nakasuporta sa loveteam namin. Kaya thank you talaga, Ate Kris."

Bukod kay Kris namataan din ng PEP sa premiere night ang mga Kapamilya stars na sina Jericho Rosales, Karylle, Jake Cuenca, Angelica Panganiban, Coco Martin, Maricar Reyes, Carmen Soo, Jason Abalos, Kitkat, Arron Villaflor, Aldred Gatchalian, Beauty Gonzales, Fred Payawan, at ang mga direktor na sina Rory Quintos, Trina Dayrit at Erick Salud. Nandun din ang mga ABS-CBN at Star Cinema executives na sina Malou Santos, Cory Vidanes, at Deo Endrinal.

Bukod kina Kim at Gerald, in full force din ang cast ng Paano Na Kaya? na sina Zsa Zsa Padilla, Ricky Davao, Melissa Ricks, Robi Domingo, Bernard Palanca, Jon Avila, Janus del Prado, Guji Lorenzana, IC Mendoza, Cai Cortez, at siyempre ang direktor na si Ruel Bayani.

Bago magsimula ang screening ay live namang kinanta ni Bugoy Drilon ang kanyang hit song na "Paano Na Kaya?" na ginawa ring title ng movie na ito.

EMOTIONAL GERALD. Naging emosyonal naman si Gerald pagkatapos ng screening at niyakap niya nang mahigpit ang mga magulang niya na present sa premiere night.

"Siyempre, sobrang masaya ako kanina dahil napakaganda ng moment, palakpakan yung mga tao. Tapos nakita ko yung pamilya ko, yung mga magulang ko at niyakap ko sila. Sobrang saya!" wika ni Gerald.

Bakit parang maluha-luha siya?

"Siyempre, noong bata pa ako... tapos nung nag-showbiz ako, hindi ko na sila nakakasama lagi. So, nung makita ko sila, sobrang saya. Siyempre, na-miss ko sila. Tapos nakita ko yung tatay ko naka-suit. E, buong buhay nun hindi ko pa siya nakitang naka-suit. Laging naka-U.S. Navy uniform yun. So, nung nag-suit siya iba yung nakita ko," lahad niya.

GERALD'S MOM APPROVES OF KIM. Boto raw ang mommy ni Gerald kay Kim, ano ang reaksiyon nila rito?

"Oo, hindi na ako nagugulat dahil napakabait ni Kim. Magkasundo silang dalawa," sambit ni Gerald.

Ano naman ang masasabi ni Kim tungkol dito?

"Nakakahiya... ano, thank you, thank you. Mabait naman si Tita, pinagluluto niya kami minsan pag nandiyan siya. Pinapapunta niya kami sa bahay nila tapos kumakain kami ng dinner doon," sabi ng young actress.

Sabi ng mommy ni Gerald, bata pa raw sila kaya sana huwag muna nilang madaliin ang pagkakaroon ng relasyon. Si Gerald ay 20 samantalang si Kim naman ay 19.

Ano ang comment nila rito?

"Oo siyempre," sagot ng young actor. "Tama naman yung sinabi ng nanay ko. Bata pa kami, bata pa si Kim. Marami pa kaming gustong gawin."

Sumang-ayon din naman si Kim. Aniya, "Oo, tama naman yun. Siyempre, bata pa kami. Dapat mag-enjoy lang kami sa kung anuman meron kami ngayon."

HARD TO SEPARATE. Paano na kaya... kung paghihiwalayin na sila at ipapareha sa iba sa mga susunod nilang projects ?

"Paano na kaya kung maghihiwalay na kami?" balik-tanong ni Gerald. "Mahirap, siyempre mahirap. Kasi sanay na ako kay Kim, sanay na rin siya sa akin. And sobrang kumportable yung trabaho ko pag siya ang kaeksena ko, pag siya ang kasama ko. Mahirap, mahirap talaga."

Sumang-ayon din si Kim dito. "Tama yun, mahirap," sabi niya. "Kasi bagong adjustment, bagong friendship ang bubuuin para magkaroon ng kilig moments. Para magkaroon ng spark yung pagsasama. And another start pag ganun. Nagsisimula ka ulit sa simula."

Ano ang pakiramdam ni Gerald na maraming artistang babae ngayon ang gusto siyang makapareha?

"Wow, flattering, overwhelming!" sagot niya. "Pero sa ngayon, nagpo-focus ako sa trabaho ko ngayon. At kung sino man ang magiging katrabaho ko or ka-loveteam ko in the future, okay lang yun. Pero sa ngayon, I'm very, very happy with Kim."

Hindi ba nate-threaten si Kim sa mga babaeng gustong makapareha si Gerald?

"Ganun naman po talaga yung trabaho, e. Hindi mo alam kung kanino ka ipa-partner ulit, kung hanggang kailan yung loveteam niyo. Wala, kailangan niyo na lang tanggapin. Ganun talaga ang trabaho, e," wika ng dalaga.

Sa ngayon, tila mahirap buwagin ang loveteam nila, lalo na't ang lakas-lakas nito at patuloy na dumarami ang kanilang mga fans.

Showing na sa mga sinehan ang Paano Na Kaya? under Star Cinema simula ngayong araw, January 27. Magkakaroon din ito ng international screenings sa susunod na mga araw.

Kim nagbantang bubuhusan ng asido si Gerald kapag...
by Jun Nardo ( Abante Online ) 01.27.10
Walang sawa factor sa isa’t isa sina Kim Chui at Ge­rald Anderson sa apat na taon nilang magka-loveteam.

“Everyday kasi, there’s something new! Kumbaga, there’s different day na iba ang ugali ni Kim. One day, sobrang saya.

After twelve midnight, malungkot na siya. Med­yo pagod na kasi. Iba ang reaction niya everytime I make her happy.

Everyday is a new day with her for me,” pahayag ni Ge­rald.

“Siyempre, nag-iiba rin naman ang tao. Si Ge­rald, ‘yung kakulitan niya hindi nagbabago. Ganoon pa rin siya sa akin.

Kanina, inaantok ako. Parang nali-lip synch siya kasi may pinapatunog si direk (Ruel Bayani). Sumasa­yaw-sayaw siya sa harap ko, tapos, nagli-lip synch siya,” sabi naman ni Kim.

‘Pag meron silang misunderstanding, ano ang ginagawa nila sa isa’t isa?

“Ahh, hindi naman kami nagkakagalit. Hindi lang kami nag-uusap. ‘Pag araw-araw kaming nagkikita, medyo hindi na kami nagpapansi­nan. Tapos, pagka-hapon, nagpapansinan ulit kami! Ha! Ha! Ha!

“‘Pag medyo nagtampo or something, medyo hindi kami nag-uusap. But after a while, lalapitan ko siya o lalapitan niya ko, okey na!” tugon ni Gerald.

May excitement pa ba kapag nagkikita sila?

“Oo naman. Gaya nang sinabi ko kanina, every day is a new day for me. Excited ako ‘pag nagkikita kami. Ahh, mas masaya ang araw ko,” sey ni Gerald.

Guwapo ba si Gerald para kay Kim?

“Ano ba ‘yun tanong? Ha! Ha! Ha! Oo naman! Ang daming nagkakagusto sa kanya, eh!” ani Kim.

Ano ang reaksiyon niya kapag may nagkaka­gusto kay Gerald?

“Wala. Ganyan na talaga ang hitsura niya,” sambit niya.

Nagseselos ba siya sa ibang nagkakagusto kay Gerald?

“Kapag sinabuyan ko na siya ng muriatic acid, nagseselos na ako! Ha! Ha! Ha! Joke lang!” biro ni Kim.

Anyway, masusubukan sa takilya ang lakas ng tambalan nina Kim at Ge­rald sa pelikulang Paano Na Kaya? ng Star Cine­ma.

“Paano na Kaya” premiere turns out to be a great success
by Heidi Anicete ( ABS-CBN.com ) 01.27.10
Hundreds of screaming fans arrived at the SM Megamall last night to catch the premiere night of Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu’s latest movie, Paano na Kaya. Aside from the certified Kimerald fanatics, the said mall’s Cinema 10 was also filled with several notable stars in the industry to personally show their support not only to the cast, but also to the renowned director, Ruel S. Bayani, of Star Cinema’s latest offering.

SNN host Kris Aquino herself attended the said event together with her whole family. And according to her, it is in fact a movie worth watching. She is truly amazed at how Gerald and Kim personified their corresponding characters. And based on the movie itself, she simply couldn’t deny how genuinely talented the two young stars are.

Aside from their fans and friends, Gerald and Kim’s families were also present during the momentous event. And just like everybody else, they all ended up being awed by the film’s success. By the end of the film, even Gerald’s father couldn’t help expressing how proud he is of his son’s great accomplishment through a big old hug while saying “I would not have missed this for the world.”

Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) had given Paano na Kaya a “B” rating. And starting January 27, people can watch the said film in their favorite theaters, nationwide.

There’s a very thin line between friendship and love. At one point in our lives, we all have been tempted to fall for a friend. That’s why many of us will be able to relate to the Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson movie, “Paano Na Kaya,” which opens today. Star Cinema’s initial salvo for 2010 and Kimerald’s pre-Valentine offering is directed by Ruel Bayani.

My son IC is more than thrilled to be part of the movie. He tells me that Kim and Gerald are super sweet even off-cam but not in a cheesy way. “Di sila exaj mag-PDA,” IC says. “But when you’re around them, kikiligin ka talaga. Kaya nag-iilusyon ako na kami din ni Jon Avila, who plays my BF in the movie. Kung sila Kimerald, kami naman Jonic (laughs)!”

Listening to IC ramble on made me remember when he cried like a baby when he fell for a guy friend who led him on. It made my heart bleed because I was clueless about the inner workings of a gay relationship. But just as “Paano Na Kaya” will tell us, one love fits all.

(In a previous column, the pink car Kim Chiu drove to their shoot when her driver was absent was inadvertently referred to as a pink bike. Both bike and car were Gerald’s gifts.)

Kahit hindi aminin, halatang may talagang namama-gitan kina Kim Chui at Gerald Anderson, huh. Aminado si Gerald na si Kim ang pinakamalapit na babae sa puso niya ngayon at dedma siya kahit may mga babaing type siya. Napag-alaman naming sobra raw kung alagaan ni Gerald si Kim at kahit pati kapamilya ng ba-wat isa ay boto sa kanilang realsyon.

Ultimo driver at mga yaya nila, hindi raw kontra sa relasyon ng hottest love-team. Ang saya, ’di ba? Walang bigat factor.

Habang binabasa niyo ang kolum na ito ay tiyak na pinipilahan na sa sinehan ang Paano Na Kaya na pinagbibidahan ng dalawa.

Proud si Direk Ruel Bayani sa pagsasabing hindi pa-tweetums ang role nila Kim at Gerald dito. Kuwento naman ni Gerald sa presscon ng Paano Na Kaya, tiyak daw na marami ang makaka-relate sa story nina Bogs at Mae, ang mag-best friend na malalim ang pinagsamahan hanggang na-in love ang babae sa lalaki.

Sounds familiar, ’di ba?

Gerald Anderson admits he has stronger feelings for Kim Chiu
by Glen P. Sibonga ( PeP ) 01.25.10
Nag-guest ang Kapamilya young stars na sina Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Melissa Ricks, at Robi Domingo sa The Buzz last Sunday, January 14, para sa promo ng tinatampukan nilang pelikula sa Star Cinema, Paano Na Kaya?. Si Kris Aquino ang nag-interview sa kanila.

KIM CHIU & GERALD ANDERSON. Kim and Gerald play the roles of Mae and Bogs, respectively, in Paano Na Kaya?. Mag-best friend sila dito na magiging mag-boyfriend. Lalabas na rebound girl o panakip-butas si Mae matapos hiwalayan si Bogs ng una nitong girlfriend na si Anna, played by Melissa.

Tinanong ni Kris si Kim kung totoo ba na pag nagmamahal ay nagpapakatanga talaga ang isang tao?

"Oo naman. Lahat ng mga gustong magmahal, gusto nilang magpakatanga sa taong minamahal nila," sagot ni Kim.

"Ako hindi!" natatawang pagkontra ni Kris sa sinabi ni Kim, na tila nakaka-relate siya dahil sa kinaharap nilang problema ng asawa niyang si James Yap. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Dahil katrabaho ni Kris sina Kim at Gerald sa ABS-CBN primetime soap na Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo kaya madalas din silang magkausap ni Kim. Mag-nanay sina Kris at Kim sa naturang soap.

Ayon nga kay Kris, "Alam ko nakakadagdag ako sa pressure. Pag nagte-taping tayo, sinasabi ko sa iyo [Kim] na napakahalaga nito [Paano Na Kaya] sa buhay mo. So, nakakatulog ka pa ba? O dahil talagang nandun na yung patung-patong na trabaho, nandun pa yung sobrang kaba? Dahil nakasalalay talaga sa balikat niyo ang success ng Paano Na Kaya?"

"Actually, this week, sobrang naging hectic yung schedule namin," pag-amin ni Kim. "Shooting, dubbing... At last, kagabi, kaninang madaling-araw, 6 a.m. [Jan. 24], natapos na namin lahat. So, bahala na yung editing. Sabi nga namin, 'At last, nakahinga na tayo. At last, tapos na yung lahat-lahat ng pagod. Yung mga tao na lang yung bahala talaga.' Siyempre, sobra kaming nagpe-pray ni Gerald na talagang mag-hit sana yung pelikula."

Si Gerald naman ang sunod na tinanong ni Kris kung kinakabahan ba ito?

"Oo naman," sambit ng young actor. "Yung pressure nandun. Nandun talaga. Pero me and Kim, si Direk Ruel [Bayani] at ang buong staff, we're very proud sa ginawa namin... sa istorya ng Paano Na Kaya?. We're very excited at the same time."

Sa pelikula ay mararamdaman na si Kim ang mas in love kay Gerald at talagang naghintay para ibigin siya. Sa totoong buhay, sino sa kanilang dalawa ang mas malakas ang feeling for the other?

"Ako, ako po!" madiing tugon ni Gerald. "Kasi, siyempre, hindi pa handa si Kim. So, ginagawa ko ang lahat. Ipinapakita ko sa kanya na I'm ready, handa ako. Maghihintay ako."

Bakit, hindi pa ba handa si Kim?

"Bakit ka nagagalit, Mommy?" biro ni Kim kay Kris. "Siyempre, marami pa namang bagay na dapat niya i-enjoy kasi bata pa naman siya. Siyempre, dapat meron din akong mga bagay na dapat enjoy-in. Pero siyempre, masaya naman kami sa isa't isa and masaya naman kami kung ano ang meron kami ngayon. Ano, masaya lang."

Pinilit namang paaminin ni Kris si Kim na aside from Gerald na nakahalikan na niya on screen, sa totoong buhay ba ay may iba pa siyang nahalikan o wala pa?

"Sa cheeks o labi?" tanong ni Kim.

Kagaya ng eksena niyo...

"Meron, pero dati pa yun, testing lang. Fourteen years old pa lang ako noon. Pero sandali lang yun, ha. Nakakahiya tuloy!" natatawang sabi ni Kim.

Nag-react naman si Kris at sinabing, "Kinabog mo ang nanay mo! My gosh!"

Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson, sobra-sobra ang halikan!
by Chit Ramos ( PinoyParazzi ) 01.25.10
Hindi lamang body language ang nagre-reveal sa real score ng relasyon nina Kim Chui at Gerald Anderson, kundi ang direktang pag-amin ng binata na tapos na ang friendship stage nila ng dalaga.

“Oh, sige. Mag-M.U. na kami. Super duper duper M.U.!” Aniya. Ibig sabihin, may mutual understanding na sila. Hindi na talaga nila kailangan pang paaminin kung ano talaga ang totoo. Apat na taon na nating pinipilit ang couple tungkol sa pinupuntahan ng kanilang pag-iibigan. Talaga naman kasing may relasyon. Ang pinupunto lang naman ng mga nagtatanong ay kung gaano na kaseryoso ito. Dumating na ba sa puntong nagbabalak na silang magpakasal?

Siyempre naman hindi. HINDI PA! Unang-una, batang-bata pa nga naman sila. Pangalawa, ‘pagka’t galing sa hirap ang pamilya ni Kim, natural lamang na gusto pa niyang magtuluy-tuloy ang kanyang tagumpay. Nakaaapekto nga naman sa popularidad ng isang artista ang status ng pakikipagrelasyon. Ano na nga naman ang mangyayari? Kapag friends pa lang kayo, gusto ng mga tao na mag-ibigan kayo. Kapag naman nag-ibigan, hinihintay na mag-break kayo. Kapag nag-reconcile, gusto nang magpakasal sila.

At kapag kasal na, magpa-pamilya na. Mawawalan o mababawasan ang ningning ng pagkabituin nila.

Nakahanda na ba si Gerald, lalo na si Kim?

Siyempre, hindi. Kaya, magsaya na tayo sa pahayag ni Gerald na mag-M.U. na sila.

Ganu’n din sa nakakikiliting pag-amin ni Kim na “Sige, sumasarap na nga ang mga halik ni Gerald!” sa pelikulang Paano Na Kaya? kung ikukumpara sa halik nilang ginawa sa I’ve Fallen For You movie nila noon. Siyempre, ang sarap ng halik na iyon ay mas masarap kapag hindi sila nakaharap sa camera. Nagpapakatotoo lang silang aminin na ang mga halik na iyon ay sini-share nila kahit nasa likod na sila ng camera. Hindi na sila mga bata at may lisensiya na silang namnamin ang sarap na dulot ng pag-ibig.

Knowing Kim, hanggang doon lang ang sine-share nilang ito. Ganu’n din ang halos araw-araw na pagkikita at pagsasama nila. Sa shooting, tapings, mall shows, personal appearances at iba pang activities sa showbiz. Nagkahiwalay lang yata sila noong Pasko at Bagong Taon. For the first time ay dinalaw kasi ni Gerald ang iba pa niyang relatives sa U.S of A. Pero, pagdating naman niya (after only a week) ay sila na naman ni Kim ang laging magkasama. Sobra nga ang pagka-miss nila sa isa’t isa.

Idagdag pa natin ang mga pahayag ng director nilang si Ruel Bayani. Hay, naku, hindi ito nagpapigil na ikuwento ang nangyayari sa harap at likod ng camera.

“Sobra-sobra ang kanilang halikan,” elaborate niya. “Tatlong eksena lang itong mapapanood sa buong pelikula. Pero, in between takes, siyempre ipapaulit-ulit iyon sa kanila. Na ginagawa naman nila, with feelings, ha?!”

Inamin din ni Direk na kahit sa likod ng camera ay may mga katulad ng eksena rin ang kanyang mga bida.”Kailangan pa bang pakiligin ko kayo, eh, kilig nga pati co-stars nilang sina Melissa Ricks, Robi Domingo at maging si Rio Locsin.”

Direk Ruel Bayani, saksi sa pag-iibigan nina Kim at Gerald!
by Eddie Littlefield ( PinoyParazzi ) 01.25.10
After the big success of Tayong Dalawa nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson. Agad silang binigyan ng pelikula ng Star Cinema ang Paano Na Kaya? Ibang klase kasi ang chemistry ng dalawa kaya patuloy na tinatangkilik ng publiko ang kanilang tambalan.

Ngayong inamin nina Kim at Gerald na may mutual understanding na nga sila. I’m sure, lalong kikiligin ang mga fans, hahataw ito sa takilya at magiging box-office hit. Maging si Direk Ruel Bayani ay saksi sa matamis nilang pagtitinginan.

“Sa totoo lang, sobrang close ako sa kanilang dalawa. Almost everyday kasama ko sila, hindi ako ‘yung taong puwede nilang lokohin or isang tao na kailangan pa nilang magpanggap. Wala na silang puwedeng itago sa akin. Hindi lang kami magkakatrabaho, magkakaibigan, close pa kami sa isa’t isa. Honestly, there is so much love in between them, may isang tao sa tabi mo na patatawanin ka, kukulitin ka, dadalhan ka ng pagkain. Gusto si Kim ng pamilya ni Gerald, pamilya ni Kim gusto si Gerald. Maging ‘yung drivers at yaya nila gusto silang dalawa, kulang na nga lang sa kanila ang kasal,” say ni Direk Ruel.

Almost four years nang magkasama sina Kim at Gerald, kilala na nila ang bawat isa. Maraming beses na silang nagkaroon ng kissing scene in front of the camera. Mga halik na punung-puno ng pagmamahal. “Kinikilig ako sa kissing scene namin ni Kim. Tatlong beses ‘yung kissing scene namin, importante kasi ‘yun sa eksena,” sabi ni Gerald.

“Kung nu’n naka-close ang lips, ngayon nakabuka na ‘yung lips nila. Kasi, ang malalim na ‘yung feeling nila for each other on screen and off screen. Nakikita ko kasi ‘yung difference, kasi ilang beses ko na silang kinukunan ng kissing scene. Sa Tayong Dalawa, twelve (kissing scene) tapos dito sa movie namin ilang beses din. Kung gaano lumalalim ‘yung feelings nila, nakikita ko ‘yung kiss nila, nag-i-improve din. Honestly, there is so much love between them,” dugtong naman ni Direk Ruel.

Ayon kay Direk Ruel, “’Yung kantang ‘Paano Na Kaya?’ parang ginawang kanta para sa movie at ‘yung movie ginawa para sa kanta. I’m sure, ito na ‘yung last movie nila Kim at Gerald na may kaunting pa-cut sa simula. Sa next movie, mas lalong dramatic, mas malalim ang tema. Hindi maiiwasan, nagma-mature ‘yung nakikita ng audience kina Kim at Gerald. I just could imagine doing young Vilma and Boyet roles in the near future sina Kim at Gerald. Doing Relasyon at Broken Marriage.”

Gaano na nga ba kalalim ‘yung relasyon ninyong dalawa ? “Sa akin naman po, 2010 na, pagod na rin ako sa mga safe answers. Siyempre, sa tagal na magkasama kami ni Kim, four years na, hindi kami nagko-confirm kung ano ‘yung sa amin. Ayaw ko ring sabihin na we’re really close friends, tapos na kami sa friendship. Basta ang sa amin, ayaw ko pong masaktan si Kim, siguro ayaw rin niyang masaktan ako. Mutual understanding, du’n pa lang kami ni Kim. Pero hindi ko sinasabing mag-syota kami, boyfriend niya ako, ”paliwanag ni Gerald.

“Ako, masaya akong kasama si Gerald parang lagi akong safe kapag nand’yan siya. Palagi niya akong pinatatawa, isa siya sa nagpapasaya sa akin ngayon at masaya kami kapag magkasama kami. Hindi pa, malapit na, napag-usapan na namin ni Gerald, maghihintay naman po siya. Kailangan din niyang mag-enjoy dahil bata pa rin siya,” wika naman ni Kim.

Kim Chiu reveals her first real-life kiss
by Rowena Joy A. Sanchez ( Manila Bulletin ) 01.25.10

No, it wasn’t with Gerald.

Teen idol Kim Chiu revealed on “The Buzz” that her first kiss happened when she was at the tender age of 14.

“Meron ‘yun pero testing lang. 14 years old pa lang ako. Sandali lang ‘yun ha,” said Kim, feeling shy.

After admitting their “super duper MU stage,” Kim’s perennial love team mate Gerald Anderson said he is willing to wait until she is ready to commit.

“Handa ako at maghihintay ako,” the young actor declared.

In a taped interview, Ruel Bayani, director of Kimerald’s comeback movie, “Paano na Kaya?” spilled that the love team’s sweetness and chemistry on-cam is only the “tip of the iceberg.”

“Nakikita kong close [sila]. Wala nang ibang mas mahal si Gerald kundi si Kim. Wala nang iba pang mas mahal si Kim kundi si Gerald. ‘Yung napapanood ng tao, tip of the iceberg lang ‘yun. ‘Yung tunay na buhay ang mas sweet,” he said.

Gerald Anderson consistently proves to Kim Chiu that he’s ready for a relationship
by Bernie Franco ( ABS-CBN.com ) 01.25.10
Gerald Anderson said on The Buzz yesterday that his feelings for on screen partner Kim Chiu is deeper than what Kim has for him. “Kasi hindi pa siya (Kim) handa, so ginagawa kong lahat like pinapakita ko sa kanya na I’m ready talagang handa (at) ako maghihintay ako,” explained Gerald.

When host Kris Aquino asked Kim what is holding her back from entering a relationship with Gerald, the chinita actress reasoned out that they both have other priorities other than a love life and that she wants both of them to enjoy life while they are still young. “Masaya naman kami sa isa’t isa at masaya kung ano’ng meron kami ngayon,” said Kim.

Three days before the opening day of their second movie together, Paano Na Kaya?—which opens on January 27—Kim admitted that it was only yesterday (January 24, Sunday) morning that they finished everything, like last-minute shooting and dubbing and that she feels finally relieved that the major bulk of their work is finally over. She however hopes that viewers will watch their film. “At least nakahinga na tayo, at last tapos na ang lahat-lahat ng pagod. Sobra kaming nagpi-pray ni Gerald na sana mag-hit sana ‘yung pelikula,” hoped Kim.

Gerald said that despite the pressure for their film to be a top-grosser, he said that he is confident that they won’t be disappointed because their movie has good material and that they gave their best in doing it.

Star Cinema’s Paano Na Kaya? also stars Melissa Ricks, Robi Domingo, Rio Locsin, Ricky Davao, and is directed by Ruel S. Bayani.

Paano Na Kaya? tells a different "best friends" story
by Nerisa Almo ( PeP ) 01.24.10
"The 'best friends' version of Paano Na Kaya is really different from the movies na may 'best friend,'" declared director Ruel Bayani during the press conference of Star Cinema's pre-Valentine movie last Tuesday, January 19.

Direk Ruel admitted that every love team in the past generation had experienced playing best friends. However, he said that his first movie with Star Cinema would give a new story that the fans of Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson would surely enjoy.

"Ang dami nang nagawang best friends movies," he said. "Sa totoo lang, never naman nang nag-ulit ng tema ng 'best friends' na parehong-pareho ang kwento. Every generation gets to enjoy that—from Jolina [Magdangal] and Marvin [Agustin] to Judy Ann [Santos] and Wowie [de Guzman] to John Lloyd [Cruz] and Bea [Alonzo] hanggang kay Kim [Chiu] at Gerald [Anderson].

"This time, may bago na namang variation, may bagong direksyong pinupuntahan. For example, hindi lang sila mag-best friend. Early on, hindi sila katulad ng kuwento na sa dulo lang malalaman kung ano ang feelings sa isa't isa. Hindi ganun ito."

One difference that Direk has mentioned was the story of a "rebound relationship" between best friends.

Mae (played by Kim Chiu) is secretly in love with her best friend Bogs (played by Gerald Anderson), who is madly in love with his girlfriend Anna (played by Melissa Ricks). Bogs only treats Mae as a very close friend and never sees her as a lover. However, when Anna breaks up with him, Bogs sees a sympathetic and caring person in Mae.

Mae and Bogs become lovers even if the former's friends keep on reminding her that she's just a rebound girl. The conflict begins when Anna comes back, which puts Bogs and Anna's love for each other into a test.

Direk Ruel said, "Start pa lang, mag-best friends sila, may nangyaring problema, inamin ni Kim. Tapos, pumasok sila sa isang rebound relationship. Iba naman ang ginagawa sa lahat ng mga Star Cinema 'best friend' stories. So, they both decided na alam nila na rebound 'yon in nature.

"But because there is this deep concern for each other, they attempted to make it work. Nakita nila at nalaman nila na mali pala. Nalaman nila na mahirap pala, marami palang complications, marami pala siyang kasamang conflict. Doon natuto ang dalawang characters kung ano ang mali sa ginawa nila at kung ano pala dapat ang tunay na pag-ibig at kung paano pala talaga dapat ito tinuturing at inaalagaan."

MATURE ROLES FOR KIM AND GERALD. Paano Na Kaya? lets Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson take on serious and mature roles.

Direk Ruel said that it was just about time that the former Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition housmates try out new characters that would veer them away from the "pa-tweetums" characters they portrayed in the past.

He said, "Siguro mahahalata ninyo, since lumabas sila sa Pinoy Big Brother, sandali lang naman sila in-allow na maging young. Pero Tayong Dalawa pa lang, nag-evolve na sila, nag-evolve na rin ang love nila. Talagang hinihingi ng pagkakataon.

"I'm sure it's also going to be the last movie na mayroon pang konting pa-cute sa simula. I'm sure sa next movie, mas lalo pang dramatic or mas lalong malalim ang mga eksena. Hindi rin maiiwasan kasi nagma-mature 'yon, nakikita ng audience kay Kim and Gerald sa maiksing panahon. Hindi rin natin maiiwasan na napapabilis ang pagma-mature nila."

Direk Ruel also noted, "It is the vision of everybody na makita 'yong dalawa na nag-e-evolve at nagma-mature at kinakaya ang mas mahira na pelikula. Hopefully, this is a good start."

Kim and Gerald will are joined in the cast by Melissa Ricks, Robi Domingo, Janus del Prado, IC Mendoza, Jon Avila, Cai Cortez, Empoy Marquez, Guji Lorenzana. Also part of the cast are Rica Peralejo, Ricky Davao, Rio Locsin, and Zsa Zsa Padilla.

Paano Na Kaya? opens in theaters nationwide on January 27, 2010. It will have its premiere this Tuesday, January 26 at SM Megamall.

When people are watching
by Marinel Cruz ( Inquirer.net ) 01.24.10

Four years of working together still doesn’t make Kim Chiu comfortable kissing Gerald Anderson, her on-screen partner and rumored boyfriend.

“The last kiss we had was very long and passionate,” says the 19-year-old actress. “Our director (Ruel Bayani) asked us to do it again and again, nakakahiya. There were people watching us …”

Kim is referring to a particular scene she shared with Gerald in “Paano Na Kaya,” their latest romance movie by Star Cinema.

First kiss

The on-screen couple had their first kiss in Lino Cayetano’s teen drama film “I’ve Fallen For You” (2007). They’ve also locked lips a couple of times on the top-rating Kapamilya drama series “Tayong Dalawa.”

“They are now ready to tackle mature roles. Enough with pa-cute characters,” says Bayani, who is also the director of “Tayong Dalawa.” “Star Cinema wants to see Kim and Gerald portray more challenging characters.”

The fans may be titillated, but Kim and Gerald insist they’re not ready to be real-life lovers. “We’re happy with the way things are,” says Kim. “I feel safe when he’s with me. I also appreciate him when he makes me laugh. That’s what’s important to us right now.”

Bayani adds: “It’s useless to label what they have. It’s enough that when one is sad, the other is there to lend a shoulder to cry on. There’s so much love and support between them. It’s OK if they’re not lovers.”

In “Paano Na Kaya,” Kim plays Mae, who is madly in love with her childhood best friend Bogs (Gerald). The feeling is not mutual, however, since Bogs is happy with his girlfriend Anne (Melissa Ricks).

The film, written by Henry Quitain and Kris Gazmen, opens in theaters nationwide on Wednesday, January 27. Also in the cast are Zsazsa Padilla, Ricky Davao, Rio Locsin, Rica Peralejo, Robi Domingo, IC Mendoza and Jon Avila.

Hopeful, joyful, thankful
by Ricky T. Gallardo ( Business Mirror ) 01.24.10
Double the pressure

No doubt one of the hottest tandems in showbiz today is that of Cebuana-Chinese Kim Chiu and Filipino-American Gerald Anderson. The two are all over the entertainment scene these days with the recent launch of their latest ABS-CBN drama Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo and their soon-to-be-released movie Paano Na Kaya.

“I feel so much pressure at the moment,” Gerald tells us. “It feels like Kim and I are both on the hot seat and so much is expected of our love team. Imagine, our new show just had its premiere on TV and here we are promoting our new movie.”

Kim agrees with Gerald, describing her feelings as “nerve-wracking!” “Parang hindi ako makakain ng maayos at hindi mahimbing ang tulog ko kasi naghalo-halo na ang excitement, pagod and tension.”

Despite their hectic work schedule, the pair feels lucky to have each other. “Siguro hindi pa lalakas ang loob ko kung hindi rin dahil nandiyan lagi si Gerald sa tabi ko,” she says.

While their huge fan base believes there is romance going on between the two, neither has admitted to it. “We are more than friends, and that’s a comfortable place to be,” affirms Gerald.

“Huwag na lang nila kaming pangunahan ni Gerald dahil baka hindi pa matuloy,” Kim issues a warning.

Gerald, super-tiyaga sa pagbabantay kay Kim!
Kung ang mga taong saksi sa ginagawa nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson ang tatanungin, hindi na sila naniniwala sa sinasabi ng dalawa na wala pa silang relasyon.

Base sa mga taong nakakasama nina Kim at Gerald sa shooting o ta*ping nila, hindi na raw talaga maitago ang pagiging sweet ng dalawa sa isa’t isa. Hindi raw tala*ga puwedeng sabihin na friends lang sila, kung ang treatment nila ang pagbabasehan.

Kuwento ni IC Mendoza na kasama nina Kim at Gerald sa Paano Na Kaya? ng Star Cinema, gandang-ganda raw siyang pagmasdan sina Kim at Gerald sa syuting nila, dahil palaging masaya ang dalawa sa syu*ting.

At kuwento rin ng isa pang nakasama sa syuting nina Kim at Gerald, hindi raw umuuwi ang isa kina Kim at Gerald na hindi kasama ang isa.

Minsan nga raw ay sobrang aga na natapos si Gerald sa shooting. At si Kim ay marami pang eksenang dapat kunan.
Ang akala raw ng mga kasamahan nila ay umuwi na agad si Ge*rald, pero mali sila, dahil matiyaga raw na naghintay si Gerald na matapos si Kim sa trabaho.

Imagine, 10 p.m. pa lang daw ay tapos na si Gerald sa shooting niya, pero super-tiyaga raw itong naghintay/nagbantay kay Kim sa loob lang ng sasakyan niya na inabot ng 4 a.m.

At ganun din naman daw si Kim kay Gerald, na kapag nauunang matapos sa trabaho ay naghihintay rin kay Gerald.

Pero, bakit nga ba ayaw pang umamin nina Kim at Gerald sa relasyon nila? Ang sabi ng isang taong malapit kay Kim, natatakot daw ang dalaga na maki*pag-commit kay Gerald, dahil baka mauwi rin sa hiwalayan ang lahat.

Mas maganda na raw ‘yung ganito lang sila, na walang commitment, na may mutual understanding lang sila, dahil masaya naman daw sila. Baka raw ‘pag naging official na ang relasyon nila ay mapadalas pa ang away nila. Doon na raw kasi papasok ang kung anu-anong selos sa pagitan ng dalawa.

Anyway, sa pelikulang Paano Na Kaya? malalaman kung hanggang sa sinehan ay madadala nina Kim at Gerald ang lakas ng tambalan nila

Kim at Gerald movie marami ang nag-aabang
by Leo Bukas ( Journal Online ) 01.23.10
Isa sa gauge namin na kikita ang isang pelikula ay kapag hindi pa man ito showing ay marami na agad ang humihingi sa amin ng pases. Katakut-takot na request ang natanggap namin na nanghihingi ng pases ng Panday ni Sen. Bong Revilla nu’ng December. Same with I Love You Goodbye ng Star Cinema.

Maging ang movie noon nina Sam Milby at Bea Alonzo na And I Love You So at John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo movie na You Changed My Life ay pinutakti rin kami ng text asking for pases.

Nang ipalabas na sa TV ang trailer at MTV ng Paano Na Kaya nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson, ang dami na namang nangungulit sa amin. Pahingi raw ng pases. Gusto raw nilang panoorin ang movie.

“Ang ganda ng trailer. Parang ang daming makaka-relate sa movie lalo na ’yung mga magkakaibigan na in love sa isa’t isa,” sey ng isa naming kaibigan.Footloose

Nakakatuwa naman na ganito kaganda ang feedback sa Paano Na Kaya nina Kim and Gerald na idinirek ni Ruel Bayani, huh! Kapag nakalusot sila sa box-office when it opens on Jan. 27, ibang level na talaga ang kanilang tambalan.

Meanwhile, napapanood din sina Kim at Gerald sa Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo series ng ABS-CBN kasama sina Gabby Concepcion, Albert Martinez, Kris Aquino at marami pang iba.

The ‘Kimerald’ pair leads the way
( Manila Bulletin ) 01.23.10
Whether or not their on-screen romance extends beyond the camera, Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson have left such an indelible mark in public consciousness that they have become inseparably known by one name – Kimerald.

Very Hollywood, right?

Kim and Gerald’s loveteam has become so bankable on TV, in film, in commercials, in magazine covers, in newspapers and especially in the public eye that are the only local pair that bears that Hollywood trademark – two names abbreviated into one… two hearts beating as one?

Fresh from their yet another pairing in top-rated ABS-CBN soap “Tayong Dalawa,” Kim and Gerald are teamed up anew, this time on the big screen in “Paano Na Kaya?,” Star Cinema’s pre-Valentine offering slated for release on Jan. 27.

Kim has just received praises for her performance in “I Love You, Goodbye,” Star Cinema’s 2009 Metro Manila Film Fest entry which finished among the Top 3, in which she was acquitted herself beside such fine actors as Derek Ramsay, Angelica Panganiban and Gabby Concepcion who plays Kim’s father.

On the other hand, Gerald is pitted in the same manner in the ABS-CBN soap “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo” with a formidable cast led by also Gabby Concepcion, together with Kris Aquino, Albert Martinez, Gina PareƱo, Jaclyn Jose and Coco Martin.

Going solo, they click. And they click even better together as they do in “Paano Na Kaya?” which is sure to send hearts aflutter, young and old alike, especially those of the Kimeralds (which is how fans of the loveteam have become known).

Directed by Ruel S. Bayani from a screenplay by Henry Quitain and Kriz Gazmen, “Paano Na Kaya?,” which also stars Melissa Ricks, is the story of two friends who eventually become lovers, challenging the question of whether romance on the rebound can long endure.

Kim plays Mae, madly in love with her best friend Bogs who is madly in love with his girlfriend Anna (Melissa). Bogs see Mae as a friend but never as a lover, until he and Anna breaks up and Bogs finds a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic heart in Mae. And then, Anna comes back.

“Paano Na Kaya?” answers the intriguing question: Can love on the rebound be, or become, true love?

Kim and Gerald will prove to all and sundry that it can be, it can become.
