Aside from the impressive box-office performance of her reunion movie with John Lloyd Cruz, the singer-actress had another reason to celebrate on Sunday after her ward, Jona Soquite, was named the very first champion of “The Voice Teens.”

But instead of boasting about her back-to-back feat, Geronimo humbled herself and expressed how grateful she is with all the blessings coming her way.

“Hindi ko dine-deserve. I feel so blessed! Napakagandang birthday gift, sobra sobra,” she said. Geronimo turned 29 last July 25.

Indeed, what a way for Geronimo to make a comeback on “The Voice” after skipping a season last year.

“Sobrang amazed lang ako sa season na ito, sa teens edition, kasi napaka-diverse ng musicality ng bawat artist. May operatic, may power ballad, mayroong talagang texture ng boses. Sabi ko nga, kahit sino sa kanila ang manalo, magiging happy ako. Pero siyempre Team Sarah pa rin,” she said.

Meanwhile, Geronimo only has words of thanks for everyone who watched her movie with Cruz since it opened on Wednesday. According to producer Star Cinema, the movie already earned P100 million in just four days.

“Sobrang overwhelming ang suporta ng mga tao. Noong bumabagyo, noong malakas ang hangin, nag-ikot kami ni Lloydie sa mga cinemas para magpasalamat sa mga tao. Hindi ako makapaniwala na ganun pa rin ang suporta kahit masama ang panahon,” she said.

Geronimo also reacted to the statement of ABS-CBN chief content officer Charo Santos-Concio that she wants to her to make more movies with Cruz in the future.

“Why not po? Kung mabigyan ng magandang proyekto, movie project na mas babagay pa rin po sa amin, “yung hindi pilit, ‘yung buo sa puso namin na gagawin namin ni John Lloyd, why not?” she said.

Asked what she will be doing next, she said: “Gagawa po ako ulit ng isa pang movie, abangan niyo po iyan, ‘yung Filipino adaptation ng Korean film na ‘Miss Granny.’”

Geronimo also reiterated her desire to work with Daniel Padilla if they would be given a chance in the future.

“Gusto ko makatrabaho si DJ kahit magkapatid lang kami, okay na ako. Sobra kong ina-admire ‘yung batang iyon. Grabe ‘yung lakas ng dating niya. Nakikitaan ko din na mahusay na aktor. Naririnig ko rin na mabuting bata so bakit hindi,” she said. (MNS)

Sarah G as Darna? Here’s what she has to say

Sarah Geronimo Now that Angel Locsin won’t be playing the Filipino superhero Darna in the much-awaited movie from director Erik Matti, the hunt is on for the next actress to don the iconic red-and-gold costume. Fans of Sarah Geronimo, for one, are eager to see their idol in the role. But the singer-actress just gave out a hearty laugh when asked about playing Darna. “Eh ‘di wow! Gusto ninyo bang makakita ng Darna na naka-jumpsuit?” she quipped. Geronimo believes something else is meant for her and the much-talked about role is not one of them. “Hindi po totoo ‘yan. Popsters lang ang may gusto niyan,” she said, referring to her fans. Meanwhile, Geronimo admitted feeling anxious as she and her fellow coaches gear up for the blind auditions of “The Voice Teens.” “Mag-start na po kami mag-taping. Kinakabahan ako. Challenge po kasi talaga sa akin umupo sa red chair na ‘yun. Pero I promised to myself na mag-e-enjoy ako this time. Ayaw ko to put so much pressure on myself,” she said. “Iba pa rin talaga [ang pressure sa coach]. Kasi kami ang nagde-decide who stays sa competition. Mahirap [hind imaging emotionally involved] pero I will do my best,” she added. As a returning coach, Geronimo’s only goal is to be instrumental in the journey of an aspiring talented artist.(MNS)

On opening day, the romantic film was shown in largest theater, which holds more than 400 seats. By the time previews started, the room was filled to capacity. Huge crowds surrounded the Century 20 Great Mall Theaters in Milpitas, the high demand to see the film resulting in nine showings scheduled per day during its screening course. While it takes a man like John Lloyd (playing Miggy), and a woman like Sarah, to fill up the theaters and create a major buzz in the Fil-Am community, Filipino films have generally gained popularity these past several years. In fact, mainstream theaters have been contacting Filipino companies to screen Tagalog films in their theaters. Currently, some 30 theaters in the San Francisco Bay Area show Filipino movies. To be sure, the massive crowd and line that extended out of the theater in Milpitas consisted mostly of loyal fans of Geronimo and Cruz. But something deeper is also at work. You can take the immigrant out of the Philippines, but not the Filipino from the immigrant. “Through the films brought to America, viewers are able to keep in touch with the actors and actresses, both newly rising and already established,” says Melissa Sokukawa. “We might not all stay updated with the Read More …
