Gerald Anderson gets First Best Actor Award; Kim gets her second one!


The Student’s Choice Awards for Radio and Television of Northwest Samar State University has awarded Geral Anderson his first Best Actor award for his performance in Tayong Dalawa while Kim Chiu was given her 2nd Best Actress award also for Tayong Dalawa.

Gerald said on abs-cbn.com, “Mas nakaka-inspire ito para sa amin ni Kim. Sa mga students ng Northwest Samar State University, maraming salamat po sa pag-vote niyo sa akin. I’m happy na nagiging inspirasyon ako sa inyong mga students. Maraming salamat na rin sa lahat ng taga-Samar.”

“Kung looking forward [na manalo], hindi. But I will be very happy kung mabibigyan ako ng award. Pero kasi hindi ‘yun ang goal ko tuwing gagawa ako ng project. Ang gusto ko lang e makilala bilang isang magaling na aktor, kung may award man o wala.”

And here's another one: Gerald was given recognition by the Philippine Psychiatric Association for his portrayal of a young man stricken with Tourette syndrome in the episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya entitled Lubid.

This just reminds us that QUALITY shows don't only get good ratings but also lots of recognition. Kudos to abs-cbn for making relevant projects such as these. GMA should get the idea and think outside their comfort zone of fantaseryes.

We also love Gerald's humility. He said, “Hindi pa talaga ako magaling na aktor pero siguro I can say na mas magaling na akong umarte compared noon. Marami pa akong dapat matutunan. Marami pa akong gustong ma-absorb mula sa magagaling na actors at directors na nakakatrabaho ko. Malayo layo pa sa tingin ko ang lalakbayin ko.”
