Is she bitter or not?

This question was asked to young actress Kim Chiu amid her reported break-up with rumored boyfriend and longtime on-screen partner Gerald Anderson.

"Hindi ako bitter, ano ba?” Chiu told the entertainment press.

Chiu, who will next appear in “Your Song Presents: Kim 2,” said she's not the kind of person who will harbor ill feelings toward anyone.

The issue stemmed from recent reports that the young actress is spending her Christmas alone in another country. Others speculated that this might be because she is still in pain after the supposed split up. Anderson was then linked to actress Bea Alonzo.

Chiu said: "Hindi naman po ganoon. Kahit po sino ay puwedeng umalis mag-isa at makakita ng snow para maiba naman."

Chiu explained that it has been her longtime dream to spend Christmas in a country where there is snow. She also divulged that she might meet with some of her fans during her 4-day vacation.

Chiu was also asked to comment on the reported Anderson-Alonzo break-up. She, however, kept her distance from the issue.

"Hindi ko pa po alam 'yon at hindi ko sila nakikita. At ayokong magsalita tungkol doon kasi hindi ko buhay 'yon," Chiu said.

“Mas maraming salita, mas marami pong nasasaktan, mas maraming natatamaan. Kaya mas pinili ko po na huwag na lang pong sagutin ang mga ‘yan and tumahimk na lang dahil ayoko po ng gulo. Huwag na po, hayaan ninyo na," Chiu added.

When asked if she's speaking with Alonzo, Chiu answered in affirmative. “Hindi naman kami magkagalit. Bakit naman kami magkakagalit?”

She said she is even ready to work with Alonzo in “Your Song.”

On her and Anderson’s reported split up, Chiu made this appeal: “Respeto na lang ninyo po sa amin ni Gerald. Ibalato na lang ninyo sa amin ‘yon, kung ano man ang nangyari."

She said she is also not ready to get into a relationship.

Chiu and Anderson's love team faced the toughest controversy last month. This after Chiu, Anderson and Star Magic admitted that the actor and Alonzo were getting death threats from the rabid fans of “Kimeralds.”

Now, the death threat issue is over, according to Chiu.

The "Tayong Dalawa" lead star also stressed that what’s important is that she is happy, and that she and Anderson remain friends.

"Sobrang saya kasi ang daming blessings na dumarating, may mga shows, endorsements at mga bagong kaibigan kaya masaya pa," Chiu said.

Reports said Chiu, like Anderson, is set to do projects with new on-screen partners including Piolo Pascual. Anderson, on the other hand, will reportedly be paired with Sarah Geronimo.

It was also reported that Chiu would appear in a Jackie Chan film. According to reports, the project has been shelved after the Filipino actress turned down the offer.

Chiu denied that she rejected the project. “Ako tatangi kay Jackie Chan? Hello. Sayang ‘yon.”

She added that the project might still push through.

Friday night ngayon at ayokong masira ang magandang mood ko, so di na me magcocomment ng mahabang mahaba. Basahin nyo nalang tong scoop na toh. Hai diosko maria, makapatay nga ng butiki.Tseh!

After months of evading the issue, actor Gerald Anderson, the other half of the “Kimerald” team-up, finally admitted that he and actress Bea Alonzo went out on dates.

In his exclusive interview, Anderson made this confirmation to ABS-CBN News as rumors about his break-up with longtime on-screen partner Kim Chiu raged on.

The young actor quickly added that he and Alonzo have already stopped dating.

“We were seeing each other, but we decided to stay friends na lang muna,” he said.

He declined to give details about their relationship and how they parted ways. But he said he got to know Alonzo deeply while they were seeing each other.

“I was fortunate enough to get the chance na makilala ko si Bea beyond being an actress at ako din nakilala nya... ang bait niya… but like I said nag-decide kami na maging friends na lang,” he said.

He also said he remains friends with Chiu, his on-screen partner of 4 years.

“We're friends. Nagpapasalamat ako kasi hanggang ngayon nandiyan pa rin siya, ” he said.

He added that as far as he knows all three of them are single.

Anderson decided to speak up in the hope to end the controversy involving them.

He also maintained that his love life is taking a backseat for now so that he can focus on his career.

He said he is happy to be getting more offers like his upcoming project with Sarah Geronimo.

“It's been a year of ups and downs, parang roller coaster. May success pero may mga failure din ako... but there's so much to still be thankful for,” he said.

It would be recalled that rumors about Anderson and Alonzo’s alleged relationship started after they were seen holding hands during the Star Magic Ball in September of this year.

Anderson clarified that he was just being a gentleman by coming into her aid since she was having a hard time walking with her long gown.

They have been dubbed "BeaRald" as opposed to "Kimerald," which is the moniker of Anderson’s team-up with Chiu.

Anderson and Chiu have long been rumored to being a couple in real life, but they consistently denied it. It was then reported that Anderson was courting Alonzo.

Rumors have it that Anderson and Alonzo, who allegedly became a couple in April of this year, ended their secret relationship during the “Heartthrobs” concert in London recently.

The 2 were both part of the “Heartthrobs” concert tour of Sam Milby, John Lloyd Cruz and Piolo Pascual in London, the show's final stop.

Last month, Anderson snatched the limelight after breaking down during a press conference for his movie, “Till My Heartaches End.” During the presscon, Anderson disclosed that he began receiving death threats after reports linking him to Alonzo had surfaced.
