Photos of Maja Salvador and Gerald Anderson together in Albay spark rumors that the two Kapamilya stars are dating.

For Maja, those photographs do not necessarily mean they are more than friends.

“Hindi po kami nagdi-date doon. Nandoon ako dahil sa bridal shower ng aking pinsan, ang aking best cousin, kaya ako nandoon. At siya din, nandoon kasama ng mga kaibigan niya,” Maja said at the press conference of the teleserye “Ina, Kapatid, Anak” in Luxent Hotel in Quezon City on Tuesday, January 8.

Maja also explained why she and Gerald were on the same flight to Albay.

“Kasi may pagsasama kami, yung “24/7 In Love” sa Davao. So sa plane, napag-usapan namin yung Misibis at parang nasabi ko na maganda yung Misibis. Maganda doon at yung activities doon. Kasi nagtatanong siya kung saan ang magagandang lugar at nasabi ko iyon. Tapos humingi siya ng number, sabi ko ‘Sige, magbibigay ako ng number para ma-check mo kung okay.’ Tapos after noon, nagkita kami sa Italian [film] festival at nasabi ko yung tungkol sa Misibis, pupunta ako with my cousins, bonding kasi doon na ang bridal shower.  Inayos ko. Tapos sabi niya 'Sige, ayusin ko din. So same flight, sabay,” she added.

The actress said she even invited Kim Chiu to join the trip.

“Invited siya. Hindi lang siya pwede kasi may family, siyempre, vacation mode siyempre kasama ang family,” she said.

Maja the new apple of Gerald's eyes?

So is Gerald pursuing Maja?

“Hindi ko po masasagot iyan. Siguro po siya (Gerald) na lang ang tanungin niyo,” Maja said.

Recently, Kim reportedly unfollowed Maja on Instagram. Is this an indication that the actresses are no longer friends?

Maja only had this to say.

“Simula umpisa, alam naman ni Kim kung ano ang nangyayari,” she said.
