Living proof that chivalry isn’t dead
DEREK Ramsay considers life one big adventure.
Derek Ramsay is living proof that “chivalry isn’t dead yet.” He’s everything a gentleman should be. The Kapatid heartthrob is not one who believes in his own hype. He works hard at what he does best without relying on his good looks alone.
Here’s Derek up close, answering some questions you’ve always wanted to ask him but were too mesmerized to do.
You seem to have it all! What else is missing in your life?
I’m very happy with my life. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, great friends and successful career.
After all the relationships you’ve been through, how has your view on love changed?
We are all created to love. My views on love have not changed.
What have you learned from your exes—Solenn Heussaff and Angelica Panganiban?
Sol and Angel made me feel true love. Both are wonderful individuals with whom I shared many beautiful and meaningful experiences I’d never forget.
Are there days when you feel ugly? How do you deal with it?
If I don’t get sleep I feel ugly. I take a cold shower to make me feel and look decent.
If you have to choose between sports and show biz, which one would you pick?
I’d choose sports in a heartbeat. I was born with the passion for sports.
How do you handle intrigues?
I think all intrigues are the same. It’s best not to mind them.
If your life story will be made into a movie, what would the title be?
My life is one big adventure. If it were to become a movie the title would be … “Traveling Zombie.” I don’t sleep.
What kind of woman would make you want to kiss your bachelor days goodbye?
I can’t answer that. I guess you’ll just know when you meet that special someone.
You’re one of the few celebs who didn’t join show biz for the money since your family is well-off. What do you think is the advantage of being in show biz because you want to and not because you have to?
I don’t think there is any advantage. I admire celebrities who work hard to help their families.
What turns you on and turns you off?
Someone who loves to laugh turns me on. Someone maarte is a turnoff.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve done for love?
Falling in love makes you do crazy things. I’ll keep those moments to myself. Hehehehe.
Have you ever fallen in love with a friend?
Yes, I have. All I can say is I hope it never happens again. It’s difficult!
How do you handle gay admirers/fans?
I give gay and straight admirers the same respect they deserve.
How do you handle girls who make the first move or flirt with you?
I smile and laugh.
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
I haven’t looked that far ahead but I definitely want to have my own family by then.
How do you want to be remembered?
I want to be remembered as the guy who would do anything for friends and family … the guy who loves life and respects everyone.

PERSONAL: Thanks from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Mark Gan and his superb staff at GAOC for making me feel so welcome, my newfound “tooth fairies” Dr. Cherry Cruz and Dr. Pia Alaba for their expert care. Now I can really say “Cheese” and “Cheers”!
