Biography Currently, the hottest teen star in the Philippines, Gerald Anderson catapulted to fame at the age of 17, when he joined ABC-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Teen edition 2006.
The PBB: Teen Edition is the edition of Pinoy Big Brother for teenagers belonging to the age group of 16-18 years and was telecast on the ABS-CBN network. The reality show ran for 6 weeks from 23 April 2006. The show closely resembled the original Big Brother show, and the prizes includes a condominium unit in Valenzuela City, a livelihood showcase, one million pesos, and an all-expense paid trip to any Philippine destination.
This 11th grader is a self-confessed certified chick boy. All of 17, Gerald Anderson comes from the General Santos City. He is pretty open about the fact that Filipinas really find his Fil-American looks hard to resist. Asked which place he would choose if given a choice between America and Manila, he said he’d choose the latter for the time being.
Gerald is an upcoming model, TV and films actor. He likes the longhaired ‘morena’ girls and feels that Philippine girls have their own way to make a man feel special. And, he really digs this. Sexually active since the age of 16, Gerald has had three serious relationships, though he broke up with two of his exes since he had reservations about long-distance relationships.
These reservations are probably a result of the divorce of his parents two years ago. His father is an instructor in the Philippine Navy and shuffles between Olongapo and US. His mother is a Filipina and lives in General Santos City that has also become his home since he was 14 years old.
Gerald and his love-team partner Kim Chiu are currently the hottest love pairs in the Philippine showbiz industry. Gerald has also appeared in various magazines, and he models for Bench underwear. He acts in a number of TV shows under the ABS-CBN banner. His maiden movie ‘First Day High’ is due to be released soon.
Gerald Anderson now firmly believes that everything happens for a reason. He says he has found his purpose and wants to make the most of this time!
