Snow Badua is reporting on Twitter that ABS-CBN actor Gerald Anderson just might be making an appearance soon in the PBA Developmental League. NLEX team coach Boyet Fernandez told Badua that the Catch Me, I’m in Love star has been practicing with the team for the last three days, although he hasn’t been included yet in the lineup. Fernandez is impressed with the former Tayong Dalawa leading man’s defense. “He can pressure the point guard of the opposing team,” Fernandez said, although it’s unclear if the opposing ball-handler is really pressured by Anderson’s defense or he’s just distracted by the actor’s dreamy eyes (which is, incidentally, the question we all ask about Chris Tiu’s tough defense).

NLEX forward Ogie Menor confirms the same news. “Has a nice outside shot, but needs to learn plays,” Menor told Mico Halili.

I imagine it would be a boon for the fledgling D-League to have Kim Chiu’s onscreen partner, even if it’s just a novelty act, if only for the Kimerald fans that will be trooping to the arenas to watch their favorite actor play. Those fans are intense; when reports surfaced that Anderson had begun dating actress Bea Alonzo instead of Chiu, they threatened to throw acid in Alonzo’s face AND kill Anderson. I’m afraid for what they’ll do to Kojak Melegrito if the “power point” tries to post up their idol.
