MANILA, Philippines – Gerald Anderson is open to be friends with his exes Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador.
“Siguro kung tinanong mo ako three or five years ago, iba po ang pag-iisip ko no’n, e,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN’s “Tonight with Boy Abunda” on Monday.
Gerald dated Kim for six years before breaking up in 2010. His relationship with Maja ended early this year.

“Buti na lang I learned to throw that pride away,” he added. “Hindi naman po kami magkalaban, e. Isa lang po ang gusto namin, it’s to entertain and inspire these people. [Ngayon] of course, if mayro’n akong opportunity to say sorry and make things better, I would do it.”
With his past relationships, Gerald said he realized that “you get to forget the past but never forget the lessons.”
For now, he chose to better himself before getting into a new relationship.

“I don’t want to be the same person I was before,” he explained. “I want to be a better partner, a better person. Pero siguro it’s gonna take time. Kasi I’m learning from the failure and mga mali na nagawa ko.” – Joyce Jimenez
