Would you DARE?

How dare you...would you really want to break up this lovely couple? Would you really want to see them paired with other people? Would you really want to destroy something this beautiful?

For the past months...no, actually, sometime in February or March of this year, a storm came brewing in the beautiful Kimerald horizon. This storm means to destroy the much loved tandem that is Kimerald. As storms go, this is also a she. Seemingly fueled by lust for Gerald and envy for Kim, she cunningly used her 'innocent' image, aided by her management who seems to be gaining power at the expense of ABS-CBN and shamelessly used the media as her shield, to get what she secretly wanted...Gerald Anderson.

One has to wonder why a popular, much loved, profitable and successful tandem and such nice kids like the Kimerald, will be willingly halted, if not, destroyed by their own management. Ive racked my brains of reasons...and these have been brought forward time and again but all are LAME reasons. Im shooting them down one by one.

FOR GROWTH/MATURITY...much voiced reason but heck, after Tayong Dalawa, this is a MOOT point. Even during My Girl, they had already achieved it. Kim & Gerald have been maturing & growing in their EVERY project if only people would admit it. As the Kimerald, Kim & Gerald have successfully gained maturity & continous to grow WHILE BEING A TANDEM.

VARIETY/PARA DI PAGSAWAAN...more than 3 years as a loveteam, 3 successive number one soaps & a string of high ratings shows, fresh number of fans from around the world joining different Kimerald fan clubs and continuing CLAMOR for MORE of Kimerald...tell me, is this a sign of waning popularity? Why do people reacted so passionately when the Audrey character was killed off? It's not that Audrey was well-loved...no. It's because JR will be left behind and people wants to see a happy ending to their story. People want to see them TOGETHER.That's how much impact the Kimerald have on the viewers. The loveteam have transcended beyond the reel. That's how unique Kimerald is.

DEPTH & FURTHER LEARNING...Acting along with veteran cast in Tayong Dalawa. That alone is like going to an Acting Ivy League School. Kim and Gerald should be given a citation for having survived that acting experience. The two of them was able to hold their own and not eaten alive by those award winning actors & actresses. It was a once in a lifetime experience, a working workshop of the highest level and some people will reason out that Gerald will get something out of being paired with that B****? PHULEEZE.

BOX OFFICE EXPERIENCE...well, have any of the 3 movies Kimerald have starred in bombed at the tills? Of course not. They may not be huge box office successes but the film outfits got handsome PROFITS out of them. Imagine...not so beautiful story, low budgeted, minimal big names, moderately promoted and no international screenings and yet those films raked in millions. NO losses were incurred. The best part is despite the limitations I've listed, people went to watch the movies BECAUSE of the Kimerald. THAT is box office power. Nothing matters as long as it's the Kimerald that we are seeing on the big screen. what good a box office title will do to Gerald's or even Kim's career? Will it prevent fans from being hurt and desert them because of their agreeing to be paired with others when they know that it's the Kimerald tandem that we love and want to see?

I just wish that Kim & Gerald will not let themselves be fooled by the very people who are supposed to care for them. I just wish Kim & Gerald will realize that they are successful because of their tandem. I just wish that a paltry project is not a good barometer that tells one he or she can make it on his/her own. I just wish that everyone will realize maturity does not connotes doing daring & sexy roles/scenes, kissing different people & doing roles that does not go with one's age.

I just wish that KIMERALD will stay as sweet, lovable & kilig as they are right now & not be exploited by those heartless users who are like sharks circling their preys in the murky waters of local showbiz.

How DARE they do that to Kimerald...how dare they!
