"From Pop Princess to Box-Office Queen" (by Wilson Lee Flores, S Magazine, March 2009 issue):
It's no longer just the pop music scene that Sarah Geronimo is conquering. The Philippines' biggest movie theater chain, SM Cinemas, confirmed "Pop Princess" Sarah Geronimo's phenomenal mulit-media superstardom when its officials on Feb. 18 conferred on her the title "Box-Office Queen" at the SMX Convention Center. Also awarded "Box-Office King" was her "A Very Special Love" co-star John Lloyd Cruz. Sarah surpassed comedian Ai Ai de las Alas as the country's undisputed box-office champion.
Was it a coincidence that after we, the editorial team of S Magazine, told Ever Bilena Cosmetics founder Dioceldo "Deo" Sy that our recent December-January issue was surprisingly sold out in only two weeks due to our cover story on Sarah Geronimo as "the next Suprstar," he later signed her up and announced Sarah as the new celebrity endorser of their Careline cosmetics for teens and younger girls?
Deo Sy and his wife Kite launched the 20-year-old singing and acting phenomenon Sarah Asher Tua Geronimo as Careline's new face last February at a festive dinner bash in Annabelle's Restaurant in Quezon City. Sarah wowed the guests with her lively rendition of Beyonce's songs and other musical numbers, with the overflow crowd of media guests clamoring for more and Sarah graciously obliging.
Sarah told S Magazine that she is excited over her next film with John Lloyd Cruz scheduled for realease on Feb. 25, "You Changed My Life." It's the post-Valentine sequel to their 2008 mega-hit romantic comedy "A Very Special Love." Up to Valentine week, her mother told S that Sarah was still busy shooting this much-awaited sequel.
Right after the premiere, Sarah will embark on a grand US concert tour through March and April that will take her to Guam, Hawaii, Texas, California, the West Coast cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas and to East Coast cities like Washington, DC and Chicago.
Showbiz crushes
In "You Changed My Life," Sarah Geronimo reprises her role as the innocent and loyal editorial assistant Laida Magtalas from a simple family who has a crush on John Lloyd Cruz as her hot-tempered boss, Miggy Montenegro, of a prominent family. Miggy is the temperamental editor in chief of a glossy magazine.
In real life, Sarah Geronimo also has an inspiring Cinderella story, coming from a humble family in Santa Cruz district of Manila. She gained national prominence by winning a singing contest on TV at age 14 which gave her a million pesos cash and a recording contract with Viva.
Geronimo prefers a simple lifestyle. She candidly revealed to Kris Aquino on "The Buzz" talk show that she isn't sophisticated in fashion sense, that she prefers T-shirts and jeans. However, her mother Divine Geronimo would often tell her to dress up more fashionably, reminding her that she's already an actress.
In addition to the duo of Sarah and John Lloyd, young actor Rayver Cruz joins the sequel as Raymond "Mackoy" Montenegro. The tabloid press and TV shows have already started romantically linking Rayver to Sarah.
Sarah admitted having developed a crush on John Lloyd Cruz due to his good looks, special kindness to her and professionalism. She said her other crush and hopefully, her next movie co-star, is actor Piolo Pascual.
Martin Nievera told S Magazine in an interview that he was totally riveted watching Sarah's first film on DVD during a ride from Pampanga to Alabang, and that he was almost shouting for the romantic duo to lock lips already. However, the delightful and well-crafted movie ended without even a kiss and yet Martin said he loved the flick so much for being innocent, wholesome and really romantic.
Talented Star
Both Martin and his ex-wife, "Concert Queen" Pops Fernandez, separately told S Magazine that they belive Sarah is the most talented star among the young generation in Philippine showbiz, calling her "amazing." Martin related that once, after a versatile rock-music performance in their ASAP show on ABS-CBN 2, he had approached Sarah's mother Divine to ask: "Is there anything which Sarah cannot do?"
Philippine industry leaders also told S Magazine that "A Very Special Love," a joint-venture between Star Cinema and Viva Films, was the surprise box-office hit of 2008. It is reputedly the fourth highest-grossing Filipino movie of all time--grossing a reported P180 million during its eight-week run nationwide.
Warner Brothers Philippines president Francis Soliven noted, "A Very Special Love" even surpassed the box-office sales of many Hollywood blockbusters of 2008 such as 'Iron Man' and others."
Deo Sy of Ever Bilena and Careline Cosmetics told S Magazine: "We are very proud and privileged to have her as our new celebrity endorser, because like Sarah, the Careline brand is hip, fashionable, trendy, popular and, most of all, has superior standards of excellence. We believe Sarah Geronimo, who is the hottest young star today, will have a very long and ever more productive career."

Ganda ng article na ito. Bright ang sumulat!
Established na talaga na bigtime crowd drawer si Sarah.
So far this year, ang YCML has earned already
$4,724,411 according to Box Office Mojo.
Yung pinakamalapit nyang kalaban ang
BFF has earned $2,255,048 , almost kalahati lang.
Ang babantayan natin ang In My Life ni Vilma,
John Lloyd at Lucky, ang kay Bea at Sam din siguro.
More din yung pelikula ni Aiai at Erap kung matuloy
ipalabas sa 2009 at hindi sa Metro Manila Filmfest.
Sa ibang bakuran, meron ba kayong alam na medyo
malakas ata? Si Pacman daw meron pelikula. Pero nun
he had a movie already pero di siguro click.
Dapat lead palagi ang YCML para sigurado nang
Box Office Queen at King uli si Sarah at si John Lloyd
next year. Enjoy di ba? Kaya alam nyo na ang mga
pelikulang iiwasan natin. Sa DVD na lang manuod dun
sa mga medyo delikado. Di ba? Kung hindi tayo magbantay
baka si Vilma at John Lloyd pa? Sobra lungkot yan!
Naririnig nyo ba ako? Sori ha I have to tell you ahead
para alam natin ang implications. Diba?
Alright, okay! Enjoy, watch uli ako ng YCML, saan
kaya showing pa? Hahahaha!
,haha you're right!!!
kailangan tlga nting magbantay para ma-maintain
natin si ate Sarah G. as BOQ title!!!
,kaya iwas muna sa iba! ahehe
_peace!_
