For some reason, 2025 turned out to be a year of growth, redirection and challenges for many. Gerald Anderson, Bianca de Vera and Cup of Joe were among the stars who looked back at the year with gratitude, especially with how it shaped them to be better persons.
The past year was an eventful one for Anderson. He ended his relationship with his longtime girlfriend Julia Barretto, took charge as a producer in the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2025 entry “Rekonek,” and directed an episode for the action-drama “Sins of the Father.”
