she's great!!!! she's the youngest but she has the most powerful voice.
I wish I couls see her live in concert. This articles is an bit out of date, she's 16 now.
A girl with a golden voice and a rags-to-riches story makes for a great superstar-making formula. Sarah Geronimo, tinseltown's newest Cinderella, talks about the first pains of stardom while always looking at the bright side of life.
Less than a year after winning the talent search that launched her as a major star, Sarah Geronimo-15 years old, with two hits songs under her name (the cover of Celine Dion's "To Love You More" and her own "Forever's Not Enough")-has not only learned to smile at everyone, wave to fans, and spot a fellow star and make beso, she's also learned that it takes more than a rigidly trained singing talent to survive in this business-it takes stamina. Her father, Delfin, who honed her to become the stunningly gifted performer that she is today, didn't quite brief her on that.
During the holiday season, there were corporate shows left and right, promos for both her now-double platinum Popstar album and the two Viva filmfest entries she was in: Captain Barbell and Filipinas, and rehearsals for her first big concert at the Ynares Gym in Antipolo. The load proved to be a bit much for the 15-year-old and her slight frame. Hence, early Christmas morning, three days before her big concert at the Ynares Gym in Antipolo, she was rushed to St. Luke's Medical Center because of fever and fatigue. The show had to be postponed. Days prior to that, she lost her voice in the middle of a performance at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.
BETTER THAN NOTHING
The girl, however, prefers to look at the bright side of life. Asked what she doesn't like being an artista, she says, "'Yung masyado pong maraming trabaho. Kasi namimiss kop o 'yung pamilya ko," she tells us in between endless sips form her water bottle and doing her own makeup in one of the dressing room at the GMA-7 studios. "Naintindihan ko naman po kasi ganoon po talaga. Mas mabuti nga po 'yung marami kesa 'yung wala po, 'di ba?
It's easy to see why some of the country's top celebrities have been generous in publicly praising Sarah. Kris loves her, and so does Sharon, her co-Viva artist, and Maricel, whom she met on the set of Filipinas. Sarah is genuinely shy despite her hitmaker stature. Just like another singing contest-discovery that made it into superstardom, she likes to pepper her sentences with "po" and "opo."
And she likes to smile a lot, even when the subject is her workload and the fatigue that comes with it. She seems to have accepted them as a fact of her new life as a star, a small price to pay for the blessings that have come her way after winning the plum prize ins Star For A Night last March. Her P1-million cash prize from the talent search paid for all for her family's previous debts, and the 10-year management contract under Viva Entertainment that came with it has assured her that she, her parents and three siblings won't be going back to their less-than-privileged lifestyle anytime soon.
SAD STORIES
Sarah Asher Geronimo grew up in Sta. Cruz, Manila, in a rented house which she describes as "simple lang, maayos naman po kaya lang luma na." Together with her parents, Divine and Delfin, sisters Johna Rizzi (now 18), Sunshine Grace (now 16), and only brother Ezekiel Gabriel (now 7), they would go to church on Sundays in the Espiritu Santo Parochial Church, or at the church in University of Santo Tomas where her mom used to work in the cashier's office and where Sarah spent her high school years (before stopping last semester). Pasyal meant going to Tutuban or Harrizon Plaza. Eating our meant Jollibee.
But even with her father's income as a PLDT employee, the earnings form their small RTW business and the improvised beauty parlor that Divine ran inside their home, the Geronimos could barely make both ends meet.
"Nung walang-walang pera sina Mama, then magpapasukan na po sa school, di po kami makapasok kasi wala po kaming mga gamit. Wala po kaming pambili ng books and school supplies," Sarah told StarStudio last December.
"Ang ginawa ng daddy ko, nangutang siya. Siyempre dahil may binabayaran na naman kaming utang, 'yung kakainin naman namin ang problema. Ayun po, tuyo na lang ang inuulam naming. Tapos po, 'yung kanin iginigisa na lang naming sa margarine. Masarap naman po."
Still, Mommy Divine, who is Sarah's constant companion these days, remembers the child Sarah as "bibo, masayahin, malikot, akala mo laging supervisor." Even as a tyke, Sarah was already showing the makings of a performer. "Sayaw nang sayaw, mahilig kumanta. At umarte, Michael Jackson was Sarah's idol. She loved to sing "Heal the World" and would strut like The Gloved One. Which would prompt a neighbor to comment: "Ano ba 'yang anak mo, parang walang buto kung sumayaw."
BORN PERFORMER
To say that Sarah loved to perform is to make an understatement. She actively participated in school programs and joined a lot of singing contests. She auditioned for every television station and she would usually be taken in. At three, she was already in the kiddie show Pen-pen de Sarapen. She was also cast in For Kids Only, Atbp. And Hiraya Manawari. She was part of the first batch of stars in Ang TV.
But it was Sarah's talent for singing that her father chose to focus on and improve by enrolling her at the Center For Pop Music at six years old. Delfin would've wanted his daughter to attend music school regularly, but there were times when they couldn't even afford the fare to Quezon City, where the center is located.
So he made up for it by training Sarah at home for two hours everyday. (He was not a strict teacher, according to Sarah. Before the grand finals for Star for A Night, she refused to show her performance to her father. "Nagalit siya bakit ayaw ko ipakita. Kinakabahan daw siya. Du'n lang naman siya nagalit.")
We asked Sarah if she doesn't tire of getting asked questions about her underprivileged past.
"Hindi naman po. Minsan lang po parang nawawalan lang kami ng privacy. Pero okey lang naman po. Walang namang masama sa buhay namin."
But life has, of course, become better for the Geronimos after Sarah's triumph in Star For A Night.
These days, Sarah lives around in a new Toyota Grandia, the downpayment for which was supposedly loaned from Viva. The family now rents a slightly bigger house in Tandang Sora.
"Binabaan po 'yung rent nung kilala ng tita ko. Para po siguro makatulong (sa amin)." Her father will soon avail of the early-retirement plan in PLDT, where he's been working for the past 22 years now. They plan to revive their humble boutique and beauty parlor, but this time somewhere in P. Margallo Street near UST. Divine says they're going to name it after Sarah.
There is always, indeed, a bright side for Sarah Geronimo. No matter the workload, she says she enjoys it so much when kids join her onstage when she performs.
"Nakakatuwa," she says.
"Biruin mo mga fans ko mga bata." She misses regular school and her friends, "pero inaayos na naman po, eh, 'yung home study program."
Now if only her payslip could buy her more time to spend with her family the last time they spent a whole day together? "Swimming lang po. Sa Laguna. Private swimming pool po. Rest day po kasi 'yun kaya lumabas po kami." - -

How the West was won
FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo
The Philippine Star 09/29/2004
NEW YORK – They came, they were seen, they conquered. Cliché? I know (sigh!). Their concert was a smash-hit! Try again. What about this: If you can make it there (New York), you’ll make it anywhere? Cliché, but true!
That’s exactly what the quartet of Sarah Geronimo, Mark Bautista and Rachelle Ann Go (all Star for a Night champions), together with Christian Bautista (of Star in a Million fame) did last Sept. 18 when the Night of the Champions concert was mounted at the full-packed Golden Center for the Performing Arts at Queens College, Queens, this city.
It was the first leg of the champions’ US concert tour, produced by Alice and Red Martinez of Re-Al Entertainment, Inc., with the same successful stagings last Sept. 24 in San Francisco (together with Star in a Million champion Erik Santos, as ABS-CBN/The Filipino Channel’s way of saying thank you to its patrons, held free at an open-air venue that drew an estimated 10,000 people) and Sept. 26 in Chicago, and the finale set for this Saturday, Oct. 2, in Los Angeles (the Muñoz brothers Leandro and Carlo are the front act) with Al Chu making his "debut" as concert producer.
The champions made it in New York – and how! – and Funfare should congratulate the Martinez couple for ushering in a new batch of Filipino entertainers into the US scene.
"At first," said Alice, "some people were discouraging me. But when I saw a videotape of their concert (held twice at the Araneta Coliseum), I knew they would also be a big hit in the US. I had that gut feeling. I wasn’t wrong."
Losing no time, Alice and Red contacted their good friend Aster Amoyo who in turn contacted the Viva people (big boss Vic del Rosario Jr. and children Veronique and Vincent, and Viva Concerts, Inc. head June Torrejon) and, without much ado, closed the deal.
On with the show!
It was the champions’ first ever trip to America and how excited they were! Ma’am June T. acted as the Mother Hen. Sarah was accompanied by her parents, Rachelle by her mother, Christian by his manager Carlo Orosa (who kept an eagle eye on his talent) and Mark by his lonesome (his production assistant’s application for a visa was denied).
On their first night at The Big Apple, Mark got "lost"; it turned out that, he said, he strolled to the St. Patrick’s Cathedral (a stone’s throw from the Radisson Lexington Hotel in Manhattan where they were billeted). Two days later, in a rush for the flight to Chicago, poor Mark lost his suitcase at the La Guardia Airport. Baby Navarete, producer of the Champions show in the Windy City, came to Mark’s rescue and bought him a new set of clothes. Hay, salamat po! was all Mark could say.
I knew that the concert at the Queens College would be a hit (not only because Alice and Red said that tickets were sold out) when, the night before, Filipino fans trooped to the Subic Restaurant in New Jersey for the "Meet & Greet" which was such a hit that dozens of fans had to be politely turned away (sorry, no reservations).
Wondering why Sarah and company are so popular in America? Simple: Thanks to The Filipino Channel which covers not only both coasts of America but parts of Europe, Australia, the Middle East and Asia.
"Thousands of Filipinos here are TFC subscribers," said Alice. "That’s why they are up-to-date on what’s happening in the Philippines. They are familiar with the soaps and other shows, and stars appearing on TFC are household names here." No wonder.
At the Queens College gym (capacity: More than 2,000), the champions promised right with their very first song: We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions.
And for more than two hours, they did rock ‘em – and how the audience reacted with delight! As I’ve been saying, fans are fans anywhere they are, whether in New York or in Nueva Ecija. They shriek, they scramble over one another to get their idols’ autograph and for a chance to have their pictures taken with them, they surge towards the stage as their idols sing and sway (but then, this is America and the burly security guys will let the fans go only that far) and they wait for their idols at the backstage exit for a last lingering look at them.
After the opening number, Christian took the spotlight solo with a heartfelt rendition of his hit song The Way You Look At Me, followed by Hands to Heaven and a Broadway Medley. Applause!
Then, he did a duet of You and Me (We Wanted It All) with Rachelle who then had her own moment, doing a Sharon Cuneta Medley, seguing to Mariah Carey’s Through The Rain (Rachelle’s winning piece at the Star for a Night grand finals) and Don’t Cry Out Loud. Applause, applause!!
Sarah and Mark made their entrance with a duet of Ako’y Maghihintay and, together with Christian and Rachelle, did a Novelty Medley (you know, those popular "naughty" songs with the corresponding "naughty" body language), totally winning the audience with their cute version of Otso-Otso, prompting several fans to jump out of their seats and, yes, "otso-otso-ed" with the champions. Applause, applause, applause!!!
That was only half of the show (the rest, I’m sure, you’ve seen at The Big Dome), made more exciting by a US-bred back-up band (with Pitchy Sarabia, a niece of Vivian Sarabia, as percussionist; she did a good job even if she was on crutches because of a bad leg).
Halfway through, Sarah and Mark called Alice and Red to the stage and sang to them Ikaw, the theme song of the Martinez couple who are celebrating their wedding anniversary second week of October. Alice tickled the audience when she gave the shy (and blushing) Red a hug and a .
"First time it ever happened to us," said Alice. Being called onstage, that is.
Considering that she and Red have been at it (producing shows in America) for more than 14 years!
Re-Al (derived from the couple’s first names) took over in 1999 from Jose Ojeda Jr. (of JVR Productions – J for Jose, V for Val and R for Raul) which started mounting shows in 1987 (among them those of Kuh Ledesma, The APO, Pilita Corrales and Basil Valdez at the Carnegie Hall).
Since their first project, a Gary Valenciano concert, in 1990, Alice and Red have produced more than a dozen, including those of Regine Velasquez (1991); Jose Mari Chan (1992); Pops Fernandez and Martin Nievera (1993); Jose Mari, Janet Basco and Joey Albert (1994); Regine Velasquez and Ariel Rivera (1995); Regine Velasquez, Ariel Rivera and Janno Gibbs (1996); Martin Nievera and Jocelyn Enriquez (1997); Joey Albert, Janet Basco and Leah Navarro (1998); Pops Fernandez (1999); Jolina Magdangal, Roselle Nava and Angelika dela Cruz (2000); Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid (2002); Sergio Mendez (2003); and Night of The Champions (2004).
The show, as I was saying, was a smash-hit – and to think that Sarah and Mark and Rachelle and Christian were shaking off jet lag!
They probably didn’t know it but they have just paved the way (to America) for the new breed of Filipino entertainers, a feat that should cause the "veterans" sleepless nights.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was how the West was won by the Pinoy champions.

Go to her forum( at the link in my sig.) and I think some members posted up her video. All I know is that she has an sing-along CD where she has all her music videos. Dang it I wish she tried becoming popular in the US too. They don't know what they are missing over here. They are too d@mn pre-occupied with Jasmine Trias.

Sarah Geronimo: shining Brighter and Brighter!
By WALDEN SADIRI
With the news of her afternoon soap opera “Sarah, The Teen Princess” coming to an end, rumors soon surfaced that Sarah Geronimo’s popularity was dimming and THAT was the reason they are ending the show. But the truth is far from the rumors circulating as explained by Sarah’s talent manager and close friend of Vic del Rosario (direct manager of Sarah Geronimo) June Rufino.
According to her, Sarah Geronimo’s drama show was slated in an afternoon spot as an experiment and it performed beyond their expectations since it was the most popular in that timeslot. Also as promised, the show had two seasons. Now, offers have been coming in for Sarah for a new show.
But this time around it won’t be for an afternoon timeslot because the “Pop Star” might soon be the newest “Primetime Star” once Mr. Del Rosario decides on the right project for her which is said to be for primetime.
The popularity issue is immaterial to Sarah as she explained during a casual lunch with the press last Wednesday to share her “Night of the Champions” US concert tour experience.
“There is pressure when people compare you to other singers,” explained Sarah about new singers and now her contemporaries like Rachel Ann Go. “But it was never my mentality to worry if they surpass my career or not. What I want to happen is for them to make it too like what happened to me.”
A good gauge of Sarah Geronimo’s popularity was the “Night of the Champions” shows in New York, Chicago and San Francisco wherein Filipinos in said States recognized her as well as her colleagues Mark Bautista and Rachel Ann Go wherever they went. She personally felt like a very big star as her “kababayans” flock to the restaurants they go to and places they promoted their concert.
In the concert, she even had several standing ovations. They were amazed for her rendition of “To Love You More,” her Celine Dion medley and Regine Velasquez medley. A first timer in America, she was overwhelmed by the warmth and hospitality of her “kababayans.” More importantly, she worked her charming innocence to the delight of her audience. In one instance, when the crowd yelled that she could just stay with them and never come back to the Philippines, she wittingly smiled and replied how could she do that when she declared with immigration that she was coming back to the Philippines. Her remark made everyone laugh. Also, the venues they performed in were always packed and she was more than satisfied knowing she made them happy.
Sarah is thankful to ABS-CBN for giving her show “Sarah, The Teen Princess” because it introduced her to the Filipinos living in US. She stressed that that contributed to her successful concert there. She also acknowledged VIVA’s big boss, Vic del Rosario, for her success saying that without him, she would not have reached her goals as an artist.
The singer’s efforts in showbiz didn’t go unnoticed too as she was bestowed honors by different award-giving bodies in the country. She was the recipient of the Most Promising Female Artist in “Aliw Awards” and was the Best New Female Recording Artist for “Forever’s Not Enough” and the Best Dance Song for “Sa Iyo” from the 17th Awit Awards.
Next for Sarah Geronimo is her upcoming album under VIVA Records which is in its finishing touches already. The album called “Princessa ng Buhay Ko” also has an Ogie Alcasid song composed especially for Sarah. The music video of her second album’s carrier single entitled “How Could You Say You Love Me” was shot in the US by director Timmy Jimenez. Her debut album already reached quadruple platinum status.
Also in the works for her is “Lastikman” wherein she plays the love interest of Mark Bautista who happens to be Lastikman. She joins other seasoned actors in “Lastikman” like Cherie Gil, John Estrada, Danilo Barrios, Elizabeth Oropesa, Tuesday Vargas and cameo appearances by Senator Bong Revilla as Captain Barbel, Anne Curtis as Dyesebel and Joel Torre as Lastikman’s father.
(Sarah’s popularity too has won her endorsing jobs for fast food chain Jollibee and Charmee.)
Her schedule of shows for next year is also starting to fill up as early as now. She will return to the US again for a repeat peformance in “Return of the Champions” in May; she will also be part of the Lunar Parade on Feb. 12 in Los Angeles, On Jan. 22 and 29, she will be in Guam and Hawaii respectively for another tour of “Night of the Champions.” But this Nov. 19, she will have another concert with fellow champion singers in “Pinoy Idol.”
In such a short span of time, Sarah has proven to everyone that she is not all about hype but of talent. Her manager Boss Vic del Rosario describes her as having a certain kind of magic that captivates her audience. Only 16 years old, she definitely have more things to offer as her musicality matures in the business. Some who have seen her perform can’t even help but compare her to “American Idol’s” Jasmine Trias who visited the country recently.
When asked about how she feels when people say that she is better than Jasmine Trias, she simply replied, “Ewan ko po. I saw her in ‘American Idol” and napahanga niya ako kasi lahat po ng songs na ibinibigay sa kanya pumapasa siya.”
On the lighter side, her recent trip to the US proved to be a memorable experience for the young lass. As a bonus, Boss Vic treated her and her family to a Celine Dion concert while in America. She admitted that she was really mesmerized by her idol.
“Napanganga na lang ako,” she described.
She also finally saw Disneyland and the first character she looked for was Mickey Mouse. She enjoyed four rides which included Indiana Jones. According to her, they weren’t allowed to board scream-rides since they might lose their voices in the process and they still had shows scheduled. She was also flattered with the gifts she received from her Filipino fans. She and her colleagues received “balikbayan boxes” filled with assorted goodies.
With all her successes so far, does she still have a Christmas wish?
“Well, I hope my family will be complete this Christmas and I hope I won’t be working on that day,” she smiled. “But I don’t mind if we spend Christmas in the States para makakita ako ng snow!”

She personally felt like a very big star as her “kababayans” flock to the restaurants they go to and places they promoted their concert.
In the concert, she even had several standing ovations. They were amazed for her rendition of “To Love You More,” her Celine Dion medley and Regine Velasquez medley. A first timer in America, she was overwhelmed by the warmth and hospitality of her “kababayans.” More importantly, she worked her charming innocence to the delight of her audience. In one instance, when the crowd yelled that she could just stay with them and never come back to the Philippines, she wittingly smiled and replied how could she do that when she declared with immigration that she was coming back to the Philippines. Her remark made everyone laugh. Also, the venues they performed in were always packed and she was more than satisfied knowing she made them happy.
Sarah is thankful to ABS-CBN for giving her show “Sarah, The Teen Princess” because it introduced her to the Filipinos living in US. She stressed that that contributed to her successful concert there. She also acknowledged VIVA’s big boss, Vic del Rosario, for her success saying that without him, she would not have reached her goals as an artist.
The singer’s efforts in showbiz didn’t go unnoticed too as she was bestowed honors by different award-giving bodies in the country. She was the recipient of the Most Promising Female Artist in “Aliw Awards” and was the Best New Female Recording Artist for “Forever’s Not Enough” and the Best Dance Song for “Sa Iyo” from the 17th Awit Awards.
Next for Sarah Geronimo is her upcoming album under VIVA Records which is in its finishing touches already. The album called “Princessa ng Buhay Ko” also has an Ogie Alcasid song composed especially for Sarah. The music video of her second album’s carrier single entitled “How Could You Say You Love Me” was shot in the US by director Timmy Jimenez. Her debut album already reached quadruple platinum status.
Also in the works for her is “Lastikman” wherein she plays the love interest of Mark Bautista who happens to be Lastikman. She joins other seasoned actors in “Lastikman” like Cherie Gil, John Estrada, Danilo Barrios, Elizabeth Oropesa, Tuesday Vargas and cameo appearances by Senator Bong Revilla as Captain Barbel, Anne Curtis as Dyesebel and Joel Torre as Lastikman’s father.
(Sarah’s popularity too has won her endorsing jobs for fast food chain Jollibee and Charmee.)
Her schedule of shows for next year is also starting to fill up as early as now. She will return to the US again for a repeat peformance in “Return of the Champions” in May; she will also be part of the Lunar Parade on Feb. 12 in Los Angeles, On Jan. 22 and 29, she will be in Guam and Hawaii respectively for another tour of “Night of the Champions.” But this Nov. 19, she will have another concert with fellow champion singers in “Pinoy Idol.”
In such a short span of time, Sarah has proven to everyone that she is not all about hype but of talent. Her manager Boss Vic del Rosario describes her as having a certain kind of magic that captivates her audience. Only 16 years old, she definitely have more things to offer as her musicality matures in the business. Some who have seen her perform can’t even help but compare her to “American Idol’s” Jasmine Trias who visited the country recently.
When asked about how she feels when people say that she is better than Jasmine Trias, she simply replied, “Ewan ko po. I saw her in ‘American Idol” and napahanga niya ako kasi lahat po ng songs na ibinibigay sa kanya pumapasa siya.”
On the lighter side, her recent trip to the US proved to be a memorable experience for the young lass. As a bonus, Boss Vic treated her and her family to a Celine Dion concert while in America. She admitted that she was really mesmerized by her idol.
“Napanganga na lang ako,” she described.
She also finally saw Disneyland and the first character she looked for was Mickey Mouse. She enjoyed four rides which included Indiana Jones. According to her, they weren’t allowed to board scream-rides since they might lose their voices in the process and they still had shows scheduled. She was also flattered with the gifts she received from her Filipino fans. She and her colleagues received “balikbayan boxes” filled with assorted goodies.
With all her successes so far, does she still have a Christmas wish?
“Well, I hope my family will be complete this Christmas and I hope I won’t be working on that day,” she smiled. “But I don’t mind if we spend Christmas in the States para makakita ako ng snow!”
she was in a soap? cool....I wish there was more videos of her singing so if u get any more poste thm up please?
Here are some pics. form her music video of "Sa Iyo". LOL your going to have to visualize the Music Video Techno.
nice sig =D
she looks cute in her video....thanks fil tehehehe
Yummy Sarah, yummy Mark!
Yummy Sarah, yummy Mark!
The Philippine Star 11/04/2004
They came, they saw, they conquered. Sarah Geronimo and Mark Bautista, two of the hottest young talents, are back from a successful concert tour in the US.
The top fast-food chain in the country, Jollibee, recently welcomed back Sarah and Mark during the 10th anniversary celebration of the popular Sunday variety show ASAP. The two are the current endorsers of the Pinoy favorite Jollibee Yumburger.
Jollibee is proud of the success these young talents have achieved in their career. "We regard such homegrown talents who deserve to be recognized not only because of the prestige and pride that they bring to our country but also because of their determination and commitment to their craft," Jollibee marketing manager Lot Legaspi says. "Jollibee has always believed in the skills and capabilities of the Filipino youth."
Fresh from their first US trip, the delightful pair happily recounted their taste of American culture. According to them, everything in the US is big, fast and fancy. "Performing in the US was really an experience. It was something I have always dreamed of," Sarah gushes.
As Filipinos in the US are eager for the familiar taste of "home" like the langhap-sarap food of Jollibee and the comforting feeling of close-knit family ties, they excitedly came to see the young talents perform. From coast to coast, kababayans and Filipino-Americans enthusiastically welcomed Sarah, Mark and the other talented performers of the Night of the Champions Concert which featured winners of various talent search contests on TV.
From New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, to Los Angeles, the young artists performed to SRO crowds who honored them with standing ovations. "Sobra kaming touched sa kanilang suporta. Hindi namin akalain na ganon ang pagtanggap nila sa amin," says Sarah. Mark adds, "Sabik sila sa Pinoy performers at game silang tumayo at sumayaw. Masarap talaga yung feeling when you know your audience is having a good time."
But it was not all work as the talented singers also had a chance for a bit of R&R. Like other young people, Sarah and Mark went on a shopping spree, buying lots of clothes, perfumes, and chocolates for pasalubong.
Mark’s favorite place to visit was LA where he saw Mickey Mouse and company at Disneyland. He also toured Universal Studios in Hollywood. Sarah, on the other hand, loved Las Vegas as she got to watch Celine Dion, one of her favorite international singers, perform live at the Caesar’s Palace. "Talagang super galing niya and I’m so glad that I was able to see and hear her sing," she recalls.
But no matter how much they enjoyed touring, they also had their share of homesickness. Sarah missed being with her siblings, while Mark missed Filipino food. "We both missed eating rice and eating Jollibee Yumburgers. Iba kasi yung fast food doon eh," Sarah recounts.
Now back in Manila, Sarah and Mark are busy with their film and TV commitments. Both are also preparing for their upcoming concert, Pinoy Idols, next month at the Araneta Coliseum. This will reunite them with their Champions co-stars, plus other special guests.

Sarah's New Album: Sweet Sixteen
Sa wakas, may bagong album na rin si Sarah Geronimo
from: www.journal.com.ph
PAGKTAPOS ng kanyang quintiple platinum na debut album na Popstar: A Dream Come True, ilulunsand ng Viva Records ang latest album ng super teen idol na si Sarah Geronimo ngayong Linggo (Nov. 7) sa ASAP Mania ng ABS-CBN.
Ang album na pinamagatang Sweet Sixteen ay pinangunguna-han ng carrier single na How Could You Say You Love Me na composed ni Vehnee Saturno na siya ring lumikha sa mega hit song ni Sarah na Forever's Not Enough.
Kabilang din sa labum ang mga awiting Sana, Hanggang Kai-lan, And You Smiled At Me, Love Can't Lie, Love Of My Life, I Wanna Know What Love Is, Before I Let You Go, Champion, Prinsesa ng Puso Mo, Minsan, Lumingon Ka Lang, You're Ta-king My Breath A-way, You Don't Know Me, Light Of A Million Morning at ang dalawang bonus gtracks na Tu-nay Talaga (Char-mee Song) at Manila Bulletin Jing-le.
Hindi pa man naire-release sa mga record stores ang nasabing album ay kasalukuyan ng humahataw ang carrier single nito sa i-ba't ibang istasyon ng radyo. Ma-ging ang music vi-deo (na gawa sa Amerika) ng nasa-bing kanta kung saan ka-sama ni Sarah si Mark Bautista ay un-ti-unti na ring pumapalo sa countdowns. Isa itong patunay na marami na ang exci-ted at nag-aabang sa bagong recording teen princess.
Sa paglabas ng Sweet Sixteen ni Sarah sa Nov. 16, malamang ay higitan pa nito ang narating ng una niyang album dahil siniguro ng Viva Records na potential hits ang lahat ng mga a-witing nakapaloob dito. Ito rin ang na-ging dahilan kung bakit medyo natagalan ang pag-re-release ng album dahil puspusan at masu-sing pinili ang mga kanta rito. Ayon nga sa album producer na si Eugene Villaluz, nais nilang ipagpatuloy ang magandang track record ni Sarah bilang number one hit maker sa kasalukuyan.
Dahil sa bagong album at sa mga suwer-teng dumarating sa kanyang career, taus-puso ang pasasalamat ni Sarah sa lahat ng walang sa-wang tumatangkilik sa kanya. Hinihiling nito na sana'y suportahan muli ng kanyang fans at music lovers ang bago ni-yang album. Inaanyayahan din niya ang mga te-leviewers na panoorin si-ya sa MYX Channel dahil siya ang napiling celebrity VJ sa buong buwan ng Nobyembre.
Maliban sa promo ng kanyang Sweet Sixteen ablum ay abala rin ang multimedia teenstar sa pagi-ensayo para sa nalalapit niyang concert na Pinoy Idols: Battle of the Popstars na ga-ganapin sa Nov. 19 sa A-raneta Coliseum. Maka-kasama ni Sarah sa nasa-bing concert ang kapwa niya singing champions at idols na sina Rachelle Ann Go, Sheryn Regis, Frenchie Dy, Mark Bautista, Raymond Manalo at Christian Bautista.

Sarah with her mom and dad
.jpg)
Forever's Not Enough
If I would have to live my life again
I'd stay in love with you the way I've been
Your love is something no one ever can replace
I can't imagine life with someone else
I promise, I will share my life with you
Forever may not be enough it's true
My heart is filled with so much love
I feel for you
No words can say how much I love you so
And if forever's not enough for me to love you
I'd spend another lifetime baby,
If you ask me to
There's nothing I won't do
Forever's not enough for me to love you so
They say tomorrow seems so far away,
And now we see that everything can change
My love for you gets stronger as tomorrow comes
I know this love will stand
In the test of time
And if forever's not enough for me to love you
I'd spend another lifetime baby,
If you ask me to
There's nothing I won't do
Forever's not enough for me to love you so
For you, there's nothing I can't do
And never will I ever go
Forever's not enough to love you so
But if forever ends one day
I promise you
I'll stay to show you
That my love will never end...
And if forever's not enough for me to love you
I'd spend another lifetime baby,
If you ask me to
There's nothing I won't do
Forever's not enough to love you so
And if forever's not enough for me to love you
I'd spend another lifetime baby,
If you ask me to
There's nothing I won't do
Forever's not enough for me to love you so.

Sarah Geronimo: Talent and charm
Source: Malaya
TEN months into showbusiness and Sarah Geronimo, "Star for a Night" grand champ, is still overwhelmed with her good fortune. She breaks out in giggles when she answers, saying she still has not shaken her jitters ("Dinadaan ko na lang po sa tawa 'yung kaba," she revealed, followed, of course, by a flurry of giggles.).
A singing contest veteran and winner of several, she still gets butterflies in her stomach when she performs. More so lately. She has been doing a different kind of performing - in front of the movie camera this time - as she stars in two Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entries and has just canned the musical comedy "Annie B." Sarah plays one of the daughters of Richard Gomez in Viva Films' heavily favored MMFF entry, "Filipinas," and the sister of comedian Ogie Alcasid in Premiere Productions' fantasy flick "Captain Barbell."
"Singer po ako, hindi artista," she said - then giggled - at the "Filipinas" presscon as she explained how daunting it seemed for her to act in a scene with the likes of Maricel Soriano and Richard Gomez.
But, as it is, the cast of the movie, which also includes Armida Siguion-Reyna, Dawn Zulueta, Aiko Melendez, Raymond Bagatsing, Victor Neri, Wendell Ramos, Tanya Garcia, Anne Curtis, seemed to have doted on fifteen-year-old Sarah, as evidenced by their laughter at the presscon after every candid answer of the teener.
One time on the set of "Filipinas," after a take, it was said that Sarah was asked by Maricel to render a song, "Twin Hearts." After the impromptu number, the "Diamond Star" was heard to have told Sarah something like, "Pag kumakanta ka parang may instrumentong kasama ang boses mo." Obviously, Maricel was struck by the quality of young Sarah's voice and this is what the latter considers the best compliment she's been given so far. She is also very happy with the reaction of people, especially children, to her song, "Forever's Not Enough," from the double platinum album, "Sarah Geronimo...Popstar."
"Nakakagulat kasi pati mga bata alam na. Kinakanta nila," she said with obvious wonder.
When asked if she thinks she's already made, Sarah shaked her head. "Hindi po," she insisted. "Siguro dahil maingay lang kasi bago pa ako," she added humbly.
She said she has a long way to go, especially if she is to fulfill her dream of becoming an international artist, in the mold of Lea Salonga. When told that Lea gained international fame through the musical "Miss Saigon," the teener paused for a few seconds before saying that getting into theater is also an option.
But that is still a few years ahead. Right now, Sarah, though swamped with shows and guestings (she will be singing a duet with Keith Martin of "Because of You" fame in the latter's concert here), can still take her sweet time. Blessed with a remarkable talent, a refreshing attitude, a winning charm, plus with the proper guidance, everything will surely fall into place for Sarah. (GFCT)

Ayaw pang pahalik ni Sarah Geronimo. Sweet 16 palang siya ngayon at tama lang daw sa kabataan na katulad niya na huwag munang pahalik.
Bukod kay Sarah, ayaw din ang butihing ina niya na siya'y pahalik. Kahit maging ito'y sa pelikula lang. Si Sarah ang leading lady ni Mark Bautista para sa latest version ng Lastikman na kasama sa 2004 Metro Manila Film Festival.
Isa lang ang pelikula sa pinagkakaabalahan ni Sarah, may latest album siyang katatapos lang. Magiging busy siya sa promo ng album na Sweet 16 ng Viva Records.
Ibang Sarah ang mapakikinggan sa album. May mga awiting kinailangan niyang pababain ang kanyang boses para bumagay sa kanta.
"Enjoy kong gawin ang album dahil may revival dito na pare-pareho kong paborito. Tulad ng Love of My Life by Freddie Mercury (deceased) na miembro ng Queen band, I Wanna Know What Love Is, You Don't Know Me at ang inspirational song na Light of a Million Mornings," pahayag ni Sarah sa presscon niya kahapon sa 42nd floor ng Discovery Suite.
Bukod pa rito'y kasama ang dalawang OPM revival, isa kay Ogie Alcasid na may titulong Hanggang Kailan at ang Before I Let You Go na sinulat ni Totop Suzara ng Freestyle. Nakipag-duet siya sa all boy group.
May music video na ang carrier single na How Could You Say You Love Me na kinunan pa sa US nang nakasama doon si Sarah para sa Night of the Champions. Guest star sa video si Mark.
Samantala, tungkol sa kanila ni Mark ay hanggang magkaibigan lang silang dalawa.
"Hindi niya ako nililigawan, saka ayaw ko pa rin magpaligaw. Basta alam niya ito. Kaming dalawa ay magka-partner lang."
Ang pagpartner niya sa Lastikman ay hindi magkakaroon ng anumang kissing scene. Bagkus mag-e-enjoy pa rin ang kanilang fans dahil may kilig silang dalawa bilang love team.
Ayaw pa rin magsalita si Sarah ng kanyang ideal man. Sa ngayon ay trabaho ang kanyang inaatupag. Gusto niyang magampanan ang lahat ng ibinibigay na assignment sa kanya.
"Gusto ko naman ang maraming trabaho. Okay lang kung walang pahinga, enjoy ako sa trabaho ko. "
Pero, ngayong tapos na ang album ng Sweet 16 ay makapagpapahinga na si Sarah. Maluwag ang schedule niya para sa promo ng album. Hinuhulaan ng marami na ang album ay hihigitan ang naitalang quintaple-platinum ng album na Popstar: A Dream Come True.
Ang iba pang kasama sa latest album ni Sarah na awitin ay ang Forever's Not Enough, Broken Bows, If Only at Sa Iyo.
Sa launching ay napaka-pormal ng damit niya. Pati pala pananamit niya'y control ng kanyang butihing ina. May damit siyang pinahubad ng ina dahil halos lumuwa na raw ang kanyang dibdib.
Ganyan kaingat ang inang nagmamahal sa anak na sweet 16.

Q&A with Sarah sa presscon ng Lastikman
by Nora Calderon
Lalong nagmukhang bata ang 16 year old na Pop Diva Sarah Geronimo sa bago niyang hair style na gawa raw ng Propaganda. Habang kausap namin si Sarah, hindi niya mapigilang mapahikab, nag-sorry nga siya dahil umaga na raw halos sila natapos sa shooting ng Lastikman ng Viva Films na official entry sa coming MMFF 2004 at kailangan niyang gumising din agad dahil nga mayroong presscon ang kanilang movie.
Pero nakakabilib ang bagets dahil alive na alive naman siya at lagi pa ring nakangiti.
Kumusta naman ang shooting ng kanilang movie kung saan muli silang nagtambal ng ka-love team niyang si Mark Bautista?
“Masaya po na ninenerbyos kasi ito ang first full-length movie namin,” sabi ni Sarah. “Last year po kasi, dalawa ang movie ko na ginawa for the festival, ang Filipinas at Captain Barbell, pero hindi po ako ang bida. Ito po, kami na talaga ni Kuya Mark. Ako po ang love interest niya sa movie.”
Hindi pa rin ba niya naaalis ang tawag niyang ‘Kuya’ kay Mark?
“Paminsan-minsan po, hindi ko na siya tinatawag na ‘Kuya,’ mahirap nga lang po dahil nasimulan ko nang tawagin siya ng ganoon. Siguro po, masasanay na rin ako.”
Aware ba siyang kinukwestiyon ng marami kung bakit sila ni Mark ang kinuha ng Viva Films para magbida sa Lastikman?
“Opo. Pero nasasanay na rin po ako sa intriga. Basta pinagbubuti na lang namin ang trabaho namin para magustuhan nila ang aming movie. Sana nga magustuhan nila dahil pambata po talaga ito. Sasama po kami sa Parade of stars sa December 24, pero may mga parade din kami sa ibang lugar, like in Baguio City, para malaman ng mga kababayan natin na may Metro Manila Film Festival Philippines tayo. Mayroon din po sa Cebu at Davao.”
Two weeks ago, nag-host si Sarah, together with Erik Santos, Rachelle Ann Go, and Mark ng Morning Star sa Channel 2. One week din iyon pero taped na. Napansin na pwede nang pabayaang mag-host si Sarah, sino ba ang tinutularan niya sa pagho-host?
“Si Ms. Regs po ( Regine Velasquez ). Madalas ko po siyang pinapanood mag-host ng mga shows niya, kahit po iyong talent search niya, kaya po hindi lamang ako hanga sa pagkanta niya, gusto ko rin po siyang mag-host. Happy nga po ako na kinuha niya akong guest sa concert niyang “Reigning …Still” sa December 3 and 4 sa Araneta Coliseum.”
Pero sa kabila ng kaabalahan ni Sarah, nagagawa pa rin niyang mag-aral through home study sa Angelicum. Third year high school na siya at gusto niya talagang makatapos ng high school para makakuha siya ng college course. Gusto raw niyang kumuha ng Mass Communications at parang gusto niyang broadcasting ang major niya.
“Nag-start na rin po akong mag-voice lesson ngayon, para po tama ang pagkanta ko, na hindi maaapektuhan ang throat ko, di po ba nagkasakit na ako noon ng tonsilitis. Marami na rin pong ibinawal sa akin, mga food na hindi dapat kainin na may effect sa boses. Bawal po sa akin ang matatamis na pagkain, ice cream, maalat, maanghang. Mahilig po kasi ako sa spicy food.”
Ano ang susunod niyang project sa ABS-CBN?
“Wala pa po silang sinasabi sa akin. May ASAP Mania naman po ako every Sunday. Naggi-guest din po ako sa mga shows nila like iyong Okey fine whatever ni Kuya Aga. First time ko po siyang nakasama sa show, tinulungan po niya ako kung anong dapat kong gawin sa eksena.”
Malapit na ang Christmas, paano niya ise-celebrate iyon? Ano ang gusto niyang Christmas gift mula kay Mark?
“Nagpi-pray po ako na sana wala akong work sa Christmas. Gusto ko pong umuwi kami ulit sa probinsya, sa Pampanga, para makapagbakasyon na rin ako. Pero mukhang hindi po mangyayari iyon dahil mayroon pong Parade of stars sa December 24 at mayroon pa pong awards night. Wish ko lang po sa Christmas, sana maging successful ang aming movie at bago kong album na ‘Sweet Sixteen’ from Viva records.
Christmas gift? Kahit po ano, basta maalala lamang ako, okey na iyon sa akin.
“Saka gusto ko po, makabili na rin kami ng sarili naming bahay. Lahat po ng kinikita ko, itinatabi ng Mommy ko, kasi gusto po talaga naming makabili ng sariling bahay. Saka nabayaran na rin naming lahat ang mga utang namin noon.”
Nakausap din namin ang Mommy ni Sarah na madalas nagiging laman ng write-ups dahil nakikialam siya sa mga ginagawa ni Sarah
“Hindi po ako nakikialam sa mga ginagawa ni Sarah, sumasama lamang ako sa kanya dahil bata pa ang anak namin,” sabi ng Mommy ni Sarah. “Hindi kasi namin pwedeng pabayaan si Sarah. Saka kung may desisyong gagawin, hindi po pwedeng siya lamang ang magdesisyon, kailangan din niya kami.”
Para sa amin, tama naman ang ina ni Sarah. Sino ba namang magulang ang hindi magwo-worry sa anak nila na 16-year old pa lamang kaya sa tingin namin, tama lang na huwag nilang pabayaan na mag-isa si Sarah upang huwag itong mapahamak.
