MANILA, Philippines – It’s all work for Gerald Anderson this year as he stars in a series of projects this 2016.
After the success of his recent film “Always Be My Maybe” with Arci Muñoz, Gerald will star in another movie and a TV series which will be both directed by Dan Villegas.
For the movie, he’ll star with Bea Alonzo, although its theme and title are yet to be announced.
As for the TV series, he’ll star with Jake Cuenca and Yen Santos, which is a sports-themed series.
“Na-excite ako, kasi I got into the sport last year,” he said about the TV series in an interview on Wednesday. “So sabi ko kay Jake kanina, kapag narating mo ‘yong finish line it’s so good kahit pagod na pagod ka na. Iba ang fulfillment, and ‘yong feeling na ‘yon gusto namin ma-feel ng mga manonood.”
He’ll give life to the character of Bata, a guy who grew up in the province and will eventually be introduced to the “rich man’s sport” Triathlon.
He said that they aim to inspire people from the rural areas to keep dreaming and aim high despite their status in life.
The Kapamilya actor is just thankful he’s given the chance to inspire people through his shows.
“‘Yon po ang pangarap ko. Lagi ko sinasabi, kahit anong role basta makapagbigay ng inspiration sa tao and nangyayari kaya sobrang thankful ako,” he said.
“Kapag nakapagbigay ka ng inspiration sa tao mas grabe ‘yong fulfilment sa sarili mo. Kapag nakaka-inspire ka at maraming natutuwa walang kapalit ang fulfillment,” he concluded.
