At the age of fourteen, Geronimo won the competition, which included a ₱1 million cash prize and a managerial contract to Vicente Del Rosario, owner of Viva Artists Agency. She was given the title of Pop Star Princess. Her mother said, "Her cash prize in Star For a Night was a big help, This school year, we don't need to borrow money from other people because of my children's tuition fees." Geronimo became the featured artist in MTV's Rising Star in September 2002, and she released her first album Popstar: A Dream Come True, in late 2002. Her first concerts, in conjunction with her first album, were staged in October 2003. Geronimo's first movie role was in Filipinas, released in late 2003. According to the Philippine Star, Geronimo's co-star in the film, Maricel Soriano, "predict[ed] a bright future" for her and stated, "That girl will go far. She’s only 14, right? For someone like Sarah, for the first time she appears and acts in a film, she's good. Maybe some people have high expectation on her but for me she's good."


2004–2007: career expansion


The Manila Bulletin states that 2004 was the year that Geronimo's career "boomed". Geronimo signed a contract with the ABS-CBN network, which aired her first television series, Sarah the Teen Princess. Later that year, she became a regular host and performer on the variety show ASAP.

The album yielded three singles: "I Still Believe In Loving You", "Carry My Love" and "Iingatan Ko Ang Pag-ibig Mo." One critic said, "The album isn't completely successful. It's nevertheless heartening to hear Sarah spreading her musical wings by trying new types of songs that wouldn't have been considered in the lineup of her showy first albums."

Tearful Sarah Geronimo says "Hindi naman ako nagmamadali, Ma, muntik lang."


Sinagot na ni Sarah Geronimo at ng kanyang inang si Mrs. Divine Geronimo ang isyu tungkol sa estado ng panliligaw ni Gerald Anderson sa 24 year-old singer-actress.

Nag-guest si Mommy Divine, kasama ang asawa nitong si Mr. Delfin Geronimo, sa musical-variety show ni Sarah sa ABS-CBN, ang Sarah G Live.


Si Ai-Ai delas Alas ang nagsilbing interviewer sa naturang portion ng show ng Pop Princess, na ipinalabas kagabi, July 29.

Sa portion din na ito ay binigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga Popsters, bansag sa fans ni Sarah, na magtanong sa kanilang idolo.

Ang isa sa mga tanong ng fans ay ito: "Sino ang nagpapatibok ng puso mo ngayon?"

Naghiyawan ang mga tao sa audience at nag-focus ang camera sa litrato ni Sarah na kasama si Gerald.

Tumahimik ng ilang minuto si Sarah, samantalang si Ai-Ai ay humirit ng ganito: "'Yan ba angtheme song ninyo ni Babe?"

Ang tinutukoy ng komedyana ay ang kantang "It Might Be You," na tumutugtog sa background.

Matatandaan na kinanta ni Sarah ang "It Might Be You" nang puntahan niya si Gerald sa audience area ng Smart Araneta Coliseum, noong July 7-concert ng singer-actress, ang 24/SG.

Sagot ni Sarah sa tanong: "Siguro, ano, kung sino man siya, kailangan ng konting panahon para mapatunayan ko sa sarili ko kung totoo ang tinitibok ng puso ko o kung totoo ang tinitibok ng puso niya.

"Sabi niya [Gerald], time will tell, and ang gusto ko ay kung sino ang gusto ng Diyos para sa akin."

Matatandaan na noong birthday presentation ni Sarah sa Sarah G. Live!, June 22, ay nag-guest si Gerald.

Dito ay niregaluhan ni Gerald ng relo si Sarah at sinabi nito sa singer-actress, "Eto ay isang clock: symbol ng time. Time para sa studies, para sa career mo, para sa mga Popsters at sa iba pang mga grupong sinusuportahan ka. At time para sa iyo...para sa nanay mo, sa tatay mo... Ang bilis ng oras.”


Samantala, sa Sarah G Live interview naman kagabi, sinabi ni Mommy Divine, na kilala sa showbiz na napakatigas sa kanyang mga paniniwala: "Kung gusto ni Lord, 100 percent, walang doubts."


ON GERALD'S COURTSHIP. Kontrobersiyal ang sumunod na tanong ni Ai-Ai, kung kaya't nagpasantabi muna ito sa ina ni Sarah: "Naku, Mommy, baka mabugbog mo ako sa question na ito."


At saka niya ibinato ang tanong na ito kay Divine: "Totoo daw bang ikaw ang nagpatigil kay Gerald sa panliligaw kay Sarah?"

Biro pa ni Ai-Ai, "Diyos ko, Mommy, huwag mo 'kong sasaktan! Babae lang ako!"


Matatandaang noong isang linggo ay kumalat sa Twitter ang blind item ni Ogie Diaz tungkol pagtigil ng panliligaw ni "G" kay "S" dahil hinadlangan daw ito ng ina ni "S."

Hindi man direktang tinukoy ni Ogie kung sino ang mga tauhan sa kanyang blind item, malinaw na ito ay walang iba kundi sina Gerald Anderson at Sarah Geronimo.


Sa sagot ni Mommy Divine sa tanong ni Ai-Ai, tila nakumpirma ang blind item na nagsasabing tumigil na nga si Gerald sa panliligaw kay Sarah.


Aniya, "Kami nga ni Daddy [Delfin] ang nagbigay ng permiso na ligawan siya [Sarah] sa bahay.

"Kinausap namin talaga siya [Gerald] nang pormal, at sabi ko, sa bahay lang puwede ligawan ang anak ko, hindi sa labas o sa text.

"Sabi ko, 'Kung mapapasensiyahan mo ang patakaran naman namin, ganito kami, nirerespeto ka namin, pero sana respetuhin mo rin kami. Kasi babae ang anak ko.'

"Ewan ko lang kung dapat sabihin, pero mukhang..."

Pag-oobserba naman ni Ai-Ai, "Parang kinukukurot na ni Sarah ang nanay niya."

Pagpapatuloy ni Mommy Divine, "Pero parang hindi niya mapagtiyagaan ang ganun..."

Ang ibig sabihin ng ina ni Sarah ay hindi kaya ni Gerald na sundin ang kanilang patakaran.

Ipinagtanggol naman ni Sarah ang ina at sinabing, "Hindi po, sa totoo lang talaga, hindi po ang mommy ko ang nagpatigil kay Gerald na manligaw. Wala."

Hirit naman ni Ai-Ai, "Hindi si Mommy kung hindi ako. Kasi ako ang nag-question. Kasi baka mabugbog ako ni Mommy."

NOT IN A HURRY. Sa sumunod na segment ng show, nagkaroon ng song number sina Sarah, Mommy Divine, at Daddy Delfin.



Nagbigay ng mensahe si Mommy Divine, at sabi niya "Magiging firm ako sa stand ko."

Sagot naman ni Sarah, "Patawad po, kahit hindi ako naging perpektong anak. Kayo po ang nakakaalam kung ano ang makakabuti para sa akin."


Siniguro naman ni Mommy Divine sa anak na matatagpuan nito ang tamang lalaki para sa kanya.

Sabi ni Sarah sa ina, "Hindi naman ako nagmamadali, Ma, muntik lang."

Ngunit sa puntong ito, lumuluha na ang dalaga.

Hinagkan ng singer-actress ang kanyang ina habang patuloy na umiiyak.

"Kakanta pa tayo, Ma," biro pa ni Sarah, bago nila kinanta ang "You've Got a Friend."

Noong Linggo, July 29, nakausap ng PEP.ph si Gerald Anderson sa Star Magic Games na ginanap sa Celebrity Sports Club.

Dito ay nakiusap ang aktor na huwag muna siyang tanungin tungkol sa kontrobersiya tungkol sa kanila ni Sarah.

Ang sabi lang ni Gerald, "Okay naman ako."

Sarah Geronimo reveals three wishes at her 24/SG birthday concert at the Big Dome


Nerisa Alno from PEP

Popstar Princess Sarah Geronimo revealed three birthday wishes on the first night of her two-night birthday concert at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum last night, July 7.

During her birthday concert dubbed 24/SG, Sarah invited the audience to enter her dream.


Here, a wicked witch, played by comedy actor Jon Santos, gave her three wishes. She was warned, however, that if these three wishes do not come true, she would forever be damned in her beautiful nightmare.

This signalled the start of a three-hour entertainment program by the singer-dancer, who will turn 24 on July 25.

Sarah dramatically appeared on stage on a hydraulic lift while singing the slow version of Beyonce’s Sweet Dream.

She wore a two-piece, brocade cloak over a dress embellished with Swarovski stones. Her outfit was designed by Dubai-based Filipino designer Furne One.

In her second song, Eurythmics’s “Sweet Dream,” Sarah danced in time with the computer-generated background. She also removed her cloak, revealing her sexy outfit.

There was a slight problem removing her lapel mic, but she went on with her next number, Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been,” which she performed with the G-Force dancers.

The strobe lights on the stage helped set the party mood of the concert.

Before formally welcoming her audience to her birthday concert, Sarah sang Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain.”

“Happy 14th birthday to me,” she announced to the audience in jest.

Sarah explained that she was 14 years old when Viva Artists' big boss, Vic del Rosario, discovered her in the defunct singing talent show, Star for a Night.



Since this was her 24th birthday celebration, she teased her avid fans, “This is my 24th birthday, 24 na ako, pwede na!”

The crowd started to scream; they were thrilled at the thought that Sarah hinted that she was free to be in a romantic relationship. This was everyone's wish for the Popstar Princess.

However, she broke the “kilig” feeling by saying, “Pwede nang maging 25. ‘Tapos 26!”

She sang three of her favorite songs which she dedicated to her audience: Coldplay’s “The Scientist,” The Script’s “Breakeven,” and Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts.”
