To say that Sarah possessed a natural love to perform is an understatement. She actively participated in school programs and joined many singing contests throught her childhood. At age three, she was already in the kiddie show "Pen pen de Sarapen." She was also cast in "For Kids Only" and "Hiraya Manawari." She was part of the first batch of stars in "Ang TV." Yet it was Sarah's talent for singing that would cause her father to focus on developing it by enrolling her at the "Center for Pop Music, Philippines" at six years of age. Her dad also encouraged little Sarah to train at home for two hours each day.
Indeed, there always seems to be a bright side for Sarah Gerónimo. She says that when kids join her onstage, for example, such fan enthusiasm makes it all worthwhile, no matter her hectic schedule or the workload.
