MANILA, Philippines – At age 23, Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo believes she can now live independently, but acknowledges there are things she must learn still before she starts living on her own.
In an interview with Carmina Villaroel on “Showbiz Inside Report,” Sarah said she also wants to balance the perspective of her parents and her own on living independently before she does anything that might prove rash.
“I’d like to think na kaya ko na po [to be on my own], pero medyo confused rin po ako eh, syempre bina-balance ko ‘yung pananaw ng mga magulang ko at saka 'yung sa akin,” Sarah said. “Kung susundin ko lang [kasi] ‘yung sa akin, baka kung ano mangyari sa’kin, baka mag-rebelde ako. Gusto kong i-honor yung parents ko.”
The matter of having a life of her own is not the only thing Sarah “balances” with her parents. Amid talk of a blooming romance with Gerald Anderson, the Pop Star Princess said her parents have nothing to worry about.
“Sa ngayon wala po silang kailangang ika-worry sa sa’kin, dahil sa ngayon ‘di pa ako ready sa commitment,” Sarah said.
She acknowledged, however, that her current stage in life may already be the right time to fall in love. “Nakikita ko po na pwede akong ma-in love ngayon eh,” she said. “Single naman ako atsaka na sa right age naman po ako.”
But these factors, Sarah said, won’t necessarily push her to find love, neither will peer pressure: “Napagdaanan ko na ‘yung stage na nandodoon ‘yung peer pressure na kailangan para masabi ng tao na happy ka, kailangan mayroon kang relationship, mayroon kang boyfriend, laging may mag-gu-goodnight sa’yo, laging may mag-‘I love you’ sa’yo, para mahanap mo ‘yung hapiness, pero hindi totoo.”
Instead, Sarah will settle for no less than a great love. “Ewan ko, kasi parang masyado po akong advanced, iniisip ko kasi, ‘pag ako magka-boyfriend parang forever na ‘yun eh, kaya kong pakasalan. Kung gusto mo mahalin kita ngayon, mamahalin kita hanggang wakas na.”
When this great love finally comes along, Sarah said she is willing to fight for him, even if it means clashing her parents.
“Kaya ko pong ipaglaban ‘yung taong mahal ko. Siguro kung mag-clash kami halimbawa ng parents ko kung sino man ‘yung gusto kong mahalin, gusto ko respetuhin rin ng mga magulang ko.
“Syempre may sarili rin po akong buhay. Sinasabi ko din ‘yan sa mommy ko, na may sarili rin akong pag-iisip. Darating ‘yung panahon na halimbawang ‘di niyo na gusto ‘yung taong mahal ko, siguro sana ma-accept rin nila, at sana hindi rin naman ako magkamali,” she said.
