Our favorite Bisaya online comedy talk show, “Kuan On One,” is finally back for its third season! And for its opening salvo, our beloved Kuantie Melai Cantiveros had an insightful and lighthearted conversation with "Sins of the Father" actor Gerald Anderson, who is also a pride of General Santos City, South Cotabato just like her.
In this episode, Kuantie Melai had the Primetime Action-Drama Prince talk about his life in General Santos prior to joining "Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 1" in 2006, what were his motivations to do so, and the learnings he got from his parents when it comes to life and love.
Due to his handsome appearance, Kuantie Melai conveyed that she initially refused to believe that Gerald grew up in their humble town because many people were already drawn to him even as a teenager. In fact, he was the talk of their town, with some girls joining the cheer dance competition just to catch a glimpse of one of their town’s heartthrobs.
But did you know that prior to becoming a "PBB" housemate in 2006, Gerald had already a taste of becoming an artista? Well, he recalled being scouted by the manager of Joross Gamboa while he was hanging out with his friends at their town’s Oval Plaza and asked him if he wanted to become a celebrity. Naïve and clueless about what that meant back then, seeing Joross perform onstage had sparked Gerald’s interest in becoming a celebrity.
Besides, Kuantie Melai attested to his claim that he was already fairly known in GenSan at that time, saying that girls would squeal and get kilig even though he was doing nothing. There were even times when they were playing basketball and the fans of the opposing team would cheer for him because he was so handsome and good at basketball.
Catch Gerald on “Sins of the Father,” weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, and TV5.
