Kapamilya actor and youth ambassador Gerald Anderson lamented that his breakup with her girlfriend, Bea Alonzo, has taken the national headlines for two months.
“It was overblown, nakakalungkot (it’s sad), because there are many bigger and real issues in the country kaysa love life ko,” Anderson said in an interview with Philippine Star columnist Wilson Lee Flores.
Anderson was in the front pages of newspapers and top stories of broadcast news outlets last August when the beau was exposed as two-timing fellow and did not officially end his relationship with Alonzo.
It seems the actor has coped with the intrigues as he has recently been named as the Ambassador for Youth in Public Service by the Philippine Youth-KASAMA replacing Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes.
The 30-year old Filipino-American actor gamely laughed at himself when he realized that so far the worst crisis in his life were “mostly love life.”
“Makulay,” he quipped.
So, for the record— did he or did he not ghost on Bea?
“It’s private, between the two of us,” he simply said.
In a previous interview with ABS-CBN News, Anderson said he tried to reach out to Bea through her manager but the actress did not want to speak to her anymore — which he respected as well.
Anderson said during those two months when he was at the center of controversy, he had “many realizations.”
“I gained strength from true friends who texted and people who cared. Their support meant a lot,” he added.
His coping mechanism — basketball.
“Find something positive to do for your energies, because after a breakup, marami tayong kinikimkim,” Anderson said.
