HATING KAPATID
SARAH GERONIMO & JUDY ANN SANTOS
Hating Kapatid the movie was great as we expected it to be. From the combination of the characters, punch lines thrown here and there and the award winning drama attained while also achieving scenes that brought the audience non-stop laughter, the movie will surely fit any age, state, or being.
The Cast
All characters have played their roles with proper timing and proper internalization. The lead characters Rica and Cecilia played by Judy Ann and Sarah were a very good team up- Young Blockbuster princess Sarah worked well with the Young Super Star Judy Ann as their skills in acting have jived with their roles of strict and protective Ate Rica plus sweet and bubbly Cecilia. Both know how to make their audience laugh without looking like their jokes and reactions came out of nowhere. Just O-Natural!
Other characters such as Edsel(Luis Manzano) and Bong(JC de Vera) were the characters of romance that added a whole lot of kilig factor to the movie(and I must say the whole Cinema 10). You would hear all sorts of screaming because of these two guys’ appearances. Edsel(Luis) played a very big contribution to the comedy and fun of this movie, him being the love interest of the lead character Cecilia(Sarah). They had a one of a kind love team-up that isn’t your normal romantic movie chemistry. As for Rica(Judy Ann) and Bong’s(JC de Vera) love team has also been a good team-up although a lot of spectators gave comments that the Juday-JC tandem is quite a doubtful hit. But by watching the movie, we must say the cast was appropriately chosen. JC had a very strong and handsome aura every time he appeared seemed like there was a bright light in the screen, making him the guy candy of the movie.
Other characters such as Beauty(Vice Ganda), DJ Durano, Gina Pareno, Cherry Pie Picache and Tonton Gutierrez, are also to be applauded for the all-time good time acting performance. Beauty(Vice) was one laughing generator! Vice is known to be funny, seeing him regularly at his regular morning show Showtime, He does it again here in a different light, being the “yaya” of the two sisters in the film, Vice has contributed much comedy and his lines... boy his lines…are what you wouldn’t want to miss!
Highlights
The movie is best for its humor freshly done and thrown out well with timing with scenes to expect such as Beauty’s (Vice Ganda) tactics on how to snag a guy on a 1st meeting, how the two sisters Rica’s superiority and possessiveness as the older sister was turned comedy, even Cecilia’s persistence to get a job and finding not only a job but her love interest! Edsel(Luis) has a lot to offer in this film and his acts and appearances will surely bring laughter every time he opens his mouth or makes a move.
Additional Highlights would be the arrival of the two girls’ parents, see how this situation will shake the two and the whole family in their journey into finding understanding, true love and a united family.
The movie touches on a serious issue to look into, which is the occurrence that children are being left behind by parents who go abroad to work and aim to give their children a better life. This movie tries to show a different point of view from the children’s side. How they are left with limited love and care, the pressure that the eldest endures trying to look after their younger siblings. The comedy isn’t just a matter of laughter but also a matter of love and the true meaning of family.

Synopsis
Laida Magtalas is a modern-day Belle who works hard to provide for her family while hoping that someday she will meet her prince charming and that they will live happily ever after together. That would-be prince charming is none other than "Miggy", the youngest memeber of the Montenegro clan— a well established family in the business world. Moony Laida desire to finally meet Miggy leads her to apply as an Editorial Assistant at his newly launched men’s magazine, "Bachelor". In spite of the fact that a relationship with Miggy may prove to be a long shot, Laida revels working in such close proximity with the man of her dreams.
By some stroke of luck, Laida lands the job. Overwhelmed by being in the presence of her long–time crush and by her recently acquired career,
Laida remains blinded to the fact that the Miggy of her dreams is very different from the real one. In reality, he is an unapologetic, hothead who always thinks he's in the right. Everyone is scared of him with the exception of the love-stuck Laida, who adamantly defends him. Imperceptively, she caters to his every whim, even sending her in his absence on a date with his girlfriend, breaking her heart a little. Her colleagues question her unrelenting devotion to such a monster and when Laida continues to proves her loyalty to Miggy, gossip regarding her feelings for the boss starts to circulate. In an effort to deter being the subject of her officemates' blathering, a befuddled Laida unwittingly reveals intimate information regading Miggy’s personal life, thus earning her his ire. After being chastised by the despotic Miggy, Laida’s finally opens her eyes and sees him for the tyrant that he is.
The confrontation with Laida was a rude awakening for Miggy as well and he realizes why people are so put-off by him. No one has ever talked back to Miggy before, because no one dared; Miggy was always right and that’s how he likes it. But when a seeemingly simpleton like Laida, who unquestioningly does whatever she's told, has the audacity to tell him off to his face, Miggy begins to figure out that the reason for his past failures could actually be him. For the first time in his life, Miggy garners the gumption to apologize and this new-found humility opens up a whole new world of “firsts” for Miggy. With Laida's help, Miggy slowly learns to be more of a team player and the true value of loyalty.
Unfortunately, Miggy's transformation is an up-hill battle since his siblings keeps pulling him back to his old ways and it becomes apparent that not even Laida’s presence in his life can instantly diminish the strong hold Miggy's family has over him. Undaunted, Laida does everything she can to help Miggy, even at the cost of neglecting her own family. As Laida and Miggy’s fight to save the floundering magazine intensifies, so do their struggle to keep their intentions and emotions at bay. Will Laida and Miggy ever figure out the right combination to solve their problems in business and in their personal lives? Or will their conflicting personalities, despite their common interests and goals, keep them from acknowledging that they are meant to be together?
Laida Magtalas is a modern-day Belle who works hard to provide for her family while hoping that someday she will meet her prince charming and that they will live happily ever after together. That would-be prince charming is none other than "Miggy", the youngest member of the Montenegro clan — a well established family in the business world. Moony Laida's desire to finally meet Miggy leads her to apply as an Editorial Assistant at his newly launched men’s magazine, "Bachelor". In spite of the fact that a relationship with Miggy may prove to be a long shot, Laida revels working in such close proximity with the man of her dreams.
he film opens with Laida starting out her day for a job interview with Flippage, owned and manage by her crush Miguel " Miggy " Montenegro. a son of a wealthy and prominent business family ( later revealed in the sequel that the family mains business is in the airline and trade industry). Unbeknownst to her , on the day of her interview, Miggy was having a heated meeting with his creative team on the issue of the Bachelor, Flippage’s mens magazine. Miggy’s mean demeanor and undermining of both his friend and editors cause a walkout of half of the team. In the middle of the chaos laida was hired of the spot after she presented Miggy with coffee left by an attendant who also walked out after being screamed at. The coffee will be a symbolic part throughout the film as Laida would often put post it messages on the coffee cups that she serves Miggy.
By some stroke of luck, Laida lands the job. Overwhelmed by being in the presence of her long–time crush and by her recently acquired career, Laida remains blinded to the fact that the Miggy of her dreams is very different from the real one. In reality, he is an unapologetic, hothead who always thinks he's in the right and obsesses about nothing making his magazine number one. Everyone is scared of him with the exception of the love-stuck Laida, who adamantly defends him. Imperceptively, she caters to his every whim, even sending her in his absence on a date with his girlfriend, breaking her heart a little. Her colleagues question her unrelenting devotion to such a monster and when Laida continues to proves her loyalty to Miggy, gossip regarding her feelings for the boss starts to circulate. However the moment was short lived, as the next day after Laida made a suggestion in regards to an article content that Miggy should put for the magazine, Miggy publicly humiliates her and her knowledge of sex and questioned her virtue (virginity) in front of the staff by making her say the word “ Sex”. Miggy was later embarrassed himself after he realized that it was Laida who made the last minute call and effort to find a printing press to do a rush job on their magazines overhaul. After being chastised by the despotic Miggy, Laida’s finally opens her eyes and sees him for the tyrant he truly is.
The confrontation with Laida was a rude awakening for Miggy as well and he realizes why people are so put-off by him. Miggy then tries with much difficulty on his part of “apologize” in his own way to Laida. First by ordering pizza for the team and serving a slice himself to her. Which Laida ignores. Laida, now disenchanted with Miggy was called in by her officemates to go to Miggy’s condo to deliver the article drafts for approval much to her dismay. As well it was her mothers birthday. However upon arriving in Miggy’s apartment, she found Miggy high with fever with very little food or necessities in his apartment, with no househelp or family to care for him. Laida took care of Miggy, missing her own mothers birthday. Miggy woke up during a break in fever and saw the exhausted Laida next to him patting his back as a mother would to a sick child. This prompted Miggy to realize his feelings to Laida igniting a change in him and wishing Laida to be more closer to him as well as being more friendly with the rest of his team. The productivity and atmosphere of the company thus also changed in a positive note. Miggy also became comfortable enough to tell laida the truth behind his past, that he was an illegitimate child of his father later adopted to the main family after his mothers death. Thus his strong desire to prove himself to his father and brother. For the first time in his life, Miggy garners the gumption to apologize and this new-found humility opens up a whole new world of “firsts” for Miggy. With Laida's help, Miggy slowly learns to be more of a team player and the true value of loyalty.

As a Performer
As far back as 1992, Sarah is already showing impressive vocals and moves in the kiddie show "Pen Pen de Sarapen". She was part of the cast for three years, and the two years that followed (1995-1996) gave her a spot in the tweens afternoon comedy/talent show, "AngTV" on ABS-CBN, as herself.
In 2003, immediately following her win as the Grand Champion of "Star For A Night", a talent search contest hosted by Regine Velasquez, Sarah had sporadic performances at (Channel 7) GMA's SOP, a Sunday afternoon variety show.
Since 2004 to present, you may catch Sarah every Sunday as a mainstay at the star-studded musical variety show "ASAP" (All-Star Sunday Afternoon Party), on ABS-CBN. Sarah performs in several segments of the show: Grand Face Off (usually with Erik Santos, Rachelle Ann Go and Christian Bautista), YRS (with Yeng Constantino and Rachelle Ann Go), and her own segment called SOS (Sarah On Stage) which was originally the TOS (The Other Side of Sarah) segment.

As a TV Host
Besides acting , Sarah also showed promise in doing hosting jobs for reality talent shows. Being a product of a talent search herself, Sarah can easily relate to the contestants as they go through the gruelling process of performing and taking in criticisms.
She co-hosted the Search For Star in a Million for its first season which aired from March to May 2005. Her co-hosts were fellow Champions Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Mark Bautista, and Rachelle Ann Go.
On September of the same year, Sarah had another hosting stint in Little Big Star. She led the nationwide broadcast of the show from Manila, while Sheryn Regis led the Visayas broadcast from Cebu, and Nikki Bacolod for the Mindanao broadcast from Davao. After two seasons, ABS-CBN pulled the plug after the finale on July 2006.
The TV network then decided to create a spin-off show called Little Big SuperStar. In February 2007, Sarah became the main host of the new show, with Makisig Morales as her co-host. The Little Big SuperStar ran into its grand finale on May 2007.
