“Why So Much Pain?” — Paulo Avelino’s Visible Sadness Draws Reactions as Gerald Anderson Keeps Pushing His Narrative

June 6, 2025
Fans can’t help but notice the visible sadness in Paulo Avelino’s recent appearances, especially after actor Gerald Anderson continues to speak up in interviews about his past relationship with Julia Barretto — a topic that netizens feel should have been put to rest.

“Grabe ‘Yung Lungkot ni Paulo”

In a recent interview during a promo event for his latest film, Paulo Avelino appeared composed but visibly emotional when asked about topics surrounding love, closure, and public perception. His tone was calm, but fans were quick to point out his “sad eyes” and subtle silence during sensitive questions.

Social media platforms were flooded with comments like:

“Grabe ‘yung lungkot sa mata ni Paulo, parang may pinipigilan siyang sabihin.”
“He’s hurting but staying classy. Respect.”

Many fans believe Paulo has chosen to stay silent out of respect — a move that’s earning admiration across platforms.

Meanwhile, Gerald Speaks — Again

On the other hand, Gerald Anderson has recently done multiple media interviews where he candidly discussed his breakup with Julia Barretto, even hinting at “misunderstandings with close friends”, a comment that many speculate was directed at Paulo.

“Sometimes people choose silence for peace,” Gerald said in a talk show segment.
“But I believe the truth should be shared.”

While some appreciate Gerald’s openness, others are calling it “unnecessary” and “repetitive,” accusing him of fueling drama that should be long over.

The Internet Reacts

Netizens are divided, but many rally behind Paulo:

“Gerald keeps talking, Paulo keeps quiet. Classy vs messy.”
“Not everything needs to be explained publicly.”
“We see who’s handling this with grace.”

Others have started using the hashtag #ProtectPaulo, urging media outlets to respect his silence and not drag him into headlines that fuel speculation.

What’s the Real Story?

While no official statements link Paulo directly to the breakup between Gerald and Julia, past reports suggested Paulo and Julia grew close during a project — a closeness that reportedly didn’t sit well with Gerald. But all parties have remained vague about what truly happened behind the scenes.
