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."
