IBINAHAGI ni Gerald Anderson ang realization niya ngayong COVID-19 pandemic na ayon sa kanya ay pantay-pantay ang lahat sa kinakaharap na krisis hindi lang sa Pilipinas kundi sa buong mundo dahil maraming nagsarang negosyo at nawalan ng trabaho.
Naikuwento ito ng aktor sa nakaraang episode ng Love from Home Lockdown Portraits ng Star Magic.
Aniya, “It’s a different situation. This is life and death. This is being sick. Your livelihood is being taken away from the ABS-CBN shutdown, my fitness business, the gym, is at stake because of the lockdown.
“It taught me how to be more resilient. And this situation taught me how fast things can be taken away from you.
“We don’t know what can happen you know like sino ba ang pwedeng magkasakit tomorrow. And I learned how to appreciate time more and appreciate the people around me. You know, just appreciate and not take for granted everything that I’ve achieved.”
Ang laging panalangin ng aktor ay maayos ang kalusugan ng magulang niyang parehong nasa probinsya at silang magkapatid ay narito sa Manila.
“’Yung mom ko and ‘yung dad ko nasa probinsya sila. You know, they’re in the province. ‘Yung mom ko is in GenSan (General Santos city), my dad nasa Zambales. My brother stays here with me.
“I just came back from almost three weeks’ lock-in taping from A Soldier’s Heart. We had our own bubble. It’s good na they’re not here because they won’t be exposed when I come home,” say ng binata.
Sa nasabing taping ng A Soldier’s Heart ay talagang kabado sila dahil kahit na lock-in ang taping nila sa bundok ay posible pa ring magkaroon ng COVID-19 case na sa awa ng Diyos ay hindi naman nangyari.
“I’ll be very honest. It was a very hard situation because everyone was exposed when were there. But everyone was motivated because we know that we’re doing something good for our supporters. I think ABS is the best at finding ways to give back to people who support us,”pahayag ni Gerald.
Samantala, may digital special si Gerald kasama sina Arci Munoz, Julia Barretto at Joshua Garcia na Love Unlock.
