Sarah Geronimo talks about Cristine Reyes and Rayver Cruz

SO HOW’S the start of 2011 for Sarah Geronimo? “Joyful naman ang pasok ng new year for me,” she says. “I’ve started shooting my new film for Direk Mae Cruz, with Gerald Anderson and Matteo Guidicelli. I’m recording a new album of all original songs. Tapos there’s the Valentine concert with Martin Nievera on February 12 and I’m promoting the DVD of ‘Sarah Geronimo Music Video Collection’ just released by Viva. It has 23 tracks from ‘To Love You More’ and ‘Forever’s Not Enough’ to ‘I Still Believe in Loving You’ and ‘How Could You Say You Love Me’. You can trace the progress of my career here as it includes the music video for ‘Paano Kita Mapapasalamatan’ from the movie ‘Filipinas’, ‘Ikaw’, ‘Right Here Waiting’, ‘Love Will Keep Us Together’, and my hits with John Lloyd Cruz, ‘Very Special Love’ and ‘You Changed My Life’.”

What can she say that Sharon Cuneta and Judy Ann Santos defended her when Cristine Reyes twitted something against her? “Napakabait nila. Overwhelmed ako when I guested sa recent birthday concert ni Ate Sharon and she said walang puedeng mang-api sa’kin habang nandiyan siya. I feel so lucky they support me. Sana nga matuloy ang movie na magkakasama kaming tatlo.”

What can she say about what Cristine did to her? “New year na, let’s start on the positive. Iwanan na ang mga intriga last year. Basta ako, I have a clean conscience. Yung sinabi ko about magagaling na dancers and sexy women, I meant it as a compliment, lalo kay John Prats. Di ko akalaing mabibigyan ng ibang kahulugan.” What if she’d bump into Cristine? “Babatiin ko siya kasi wala naman akong ginawang masama sa kanya.”

Isn’t she worried about Kimerald fans ganging up on her now that she’s paired with Gerald? “I’m sure they’ll understand trabaho lang ito. I’m excited. Parang when I was paired with John Lloyd, feeling ko ako si Bea Alonzo and with Sam Milby, ako si Anne Curtis. Ngayon naman, feeling ko, ako si Kim Chiu.”
