Sarah Geronimo admits: 'I make mistakes too'
July 30, 2014 | 2:51pm
MANILA, Philippines – Sarah Geronimo, recently hailed by celebrity magazine Yes! as the most beautiful star for 2014, admits she feels the pressure of being a 26-year-old woman.
“Sa totoo lang, ang hirap sa stage ng buhay ko ngayon, I’m 26 years old, nandoon ang pressure, na parang kailangan ganito ka, you have to be independent, and make your own decision at kailangan panindigan mo ‘yan, ganito-ganyan. Ang daming nagsasalita sa utak ko,” the singer-actress told members of the press during the Yes! 100 Most Beautiful Stars launch on Tuesday.
She added: “Pero ‘yon na lang talaga, kukuha ka ng kung ano ang pinaka-clear na kung ano ang dapat gawin sa Bible at mga sinasabi ng magulang mo.”
The statement came about after Sarah was asked if she makes mistakes despite her being careful and guarded.
It's been well-reported that the ABS-CBN talent is under close supervision of her parents, particularly her mother Divine.
She explained: “Siyempre, may mga pagkakamali po ako na hindi nakikita ng public eye. Hindi lahat ng pagkakamali ko ay alam ninyo. Magkakapareho naman tayong lahat. Mayroon din tayong side na hindi maganda.”
But Sarah further said, “Pero kaya nga po kumakapit ako sa Diyos talaga at pangalawa sa pamilya ko. Kasi, kung tayo lang, puso lang natin o gusto lang natin i-please, hindi talaga natin madi-distinguish kung ano ‘yong tama sa mali.”
The 26-year-old singer-actress acknowledges that even though she depends on her family for guidance, she also has to have her own opinion and convictions.
“Kailangan din mayroon kang sariling desisyon, kung ano ang pananaw mo sa buhay. Kasi, iba rin po ‘yong alam mo kung sino ka, kung ano ‘yong stand mo, ano ‘yong foundations mo. Kailangan matutunan mo rin para maging independent kang tao,” she said.
She also knows that “everything is a risk” and that mistakes have to be made for one to recognize the difference between right and wrong.
How does she find “voice” as a 26-year-old singer-actress?
“Siguro po, it’s a process that I have to go through. Talagang nauunawaan ko na kailangan na kasi I’m 26 years old, patanda na ako nang patanda. Kailangan matuto na akong magdesisyon para sa sarili ko,” she said. “Para sa sarili ko rin. Kung halimbawang ako na lang ang maiwan mag-isa, ano ang gagawin ko, ano ang desisyon ko, kailangan alam ko ‘yan. Kung gusto kong magkaroon ng pamilya, kailangan alam ko ang mga bagay na ‘yan.”
“Sa ngayon, wala pa po ako roon. Papunta pa lang po ako. Medyo late na pero okay na ‘yon kaysa naman hindi mo talaga i-brave na pagdaanan,” Sarah explained.
