MANILA, Philippines -- Actress Maja Salvador stressed that she and
actor Gerald Anderson are not yet an item but didn't deny that they are
seeing each other.
“Hindi pa [kami]. Agad agad? Ayoko pangunahan. Sa akin na lang muna.
Siguro in time," Salvador said in an interview with Push.com on Tuesday.
"Huwag muna ngayon mag-share. Sinagot niya naman ’di ba? Sinabi naman niya na kinikilala namin isa’t-isa,” she added.
In the interview, Salvador admitted that she is happy with Anderson, who has been defending her against intrigues.
Right now, Salvador said that she and Anderson are enjoying each other's company with some of their friends.
Hurt by criticisms
Salvador, who has been receiving hate tweets and messages after she was linked to Anderson, admitted that she gets hurt by all the negative comments being thrown at her.
But the actress appealed to her critics not to involve her family in the controversy.
“Aaminin ko na every time na nagpo-post ako sa Instagram, may mga bad comments ['yung iba]. And hindi naman ako istatwa lang or bato, tao rin naman ako. Nag-post ako ng ganon kasi dinadamay rin 'yung nanay ko, pati family ko. Wine-welcome ko din naman 'yung mga bad comments na sinasabi nila kasi opinyon nila 'yun," she said.
"Pero hindi every day tatanggapin mo 'yung sinasabi nila. Kasi kahit na alam mong ‘di totoo wala kang magagawa opinyon nila 'yun. Pero kung idamay nila 'yung family mo, sobra na, walang kinalaman yung nanay at family ko kung ano man ibinabato niyo sa akin,” she added.
The criticism against Salvador began in January after reports surfaced that she is dating Anderson, the former boyfriend of her best friend and "Ina Kapatid Anak" co-star Kim Chiu.
