The Voice of the Philippines Judge | Filipina Singer-Actress Sarah Geronimo | Photos

As of this writing, Filipina singer-actress Sarah Geronimo is drawing some flak for her role as judge in the reality TV contest “The Voice of the Philippines” (which aired its second episode a couple of nights ago). But that won’t stop this blog from featuring her. After all, she is still a really talented, successful and pretty Filipina.

I think she needs to find her voice as a vocal coach. She has been through so much – from singing in local amateur contests to performing a solo concert before a jam-packed crowd at the world-famous Araneta Coliseum.

Sarah knows “what” to say to singers, for them to become better. She just has to learn “how” to say it. Miss Geronimo is probably having the jitters, especially since she has, as co-judges, Filipinos who have made their mark in the global music scene (in particular Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas and Tony Award for Broadway award winner Lea Salonga). Also this role puts here in the same spotlight as Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Usher and Shakira (who are featured as judges in the original “The Voice” contest).

Who is Sarah Geronimo? Born on July 25, 1998 in Sampaloc, Manila, she is a Filipina actress, recording artist, dancer, host and model (who has preserved her wholesome, sweet and clean image).

Under Viva and Star records, she released various platinum albums. Among them are: Popstar: A Dream Come True (2003), Sweet Sixteen (2004), Becoming (2006), Taking Flight (2007), Just Me (2008), Your Christmas Girl (2009), Music And Me (2009), One Heart (2011), and Pure OPM Classics (2012).

Since 1995, she has a regular fixture in several television shows and movies. So to her haters, cut her some slack please!

UPDATE: If you're really a fans of this show, which showcases a galaxy of future stars, please use the hashtag #VoicePH. It has been trending worldwide on Twitter! Here's just a sample of how much talent this show has discovered for us: a Youtube video of Juvie Pelos singing "Uwahig".

GMA-7 Network (Kapuso) Nemesis Sarah Lahbati | Photos

The latest news on Sarah Lahbati on her war with GMA Network is that both sides have pressed charges against each other. GMA Films president Atty. Annette Gozon-Abrogar have filed a libel case using her tweets against the said station.

The Kapuso network also filed a "breach of contract" case against her, which was prompted by the actress' earlier walk out in a shoot. Showbiz circles are now rife with stories that she has an attitude problem.

We won't take sides on this issue/scandal. For sure, spin doctors from both camps are on overdrive especially since she is managed by controversial and fiery talent manager Anabelle Rama (yep, that's actor Richard Guitierrez mom). He also happens to be Sarah's boyfriend, who recently denied pregnancy rumors against her.

Rival network (ABS-CBN) probably is laughing all the way to the bank with this latest scandal in GMA-7's camp.

So then, let us forget the brouhaha and feature her profile and hot photos. After all, she is really a pretty Pinay mestiza even without makeup (see below image).

Miss Sarah Alzol Lahbati is a Swiss-Filipino actress who was born on October 9, 1993 in Geneva, Switzerland. She was "discovered" by way of the Kapuso network's reality talent show StarStruck in 2009. She became a finalist of said contest.

Through the years (since 2010), she was casted in various Kapuso TV shows, such as Love Bug Presents: Exchange Of Hearts, Little Star, Maynila: Bestfriends & A Girl, Time Of My Life, Spooky Nights Presents: Sumpa, Ruben Marcelino's Kokak, Makapiling Kang Muli (where her kissing scene with boyfriend Richard Gutierrez sent sparks in showbiz gossip columns).

She was set to star in Indio (the network's latest telenovela as Ynaguinid. It was said (source: pep.ph) that she did not want to wear her costume headress in said program.

She also starred in various movies by Regal and GMA Films such as White House (2011), Boy Pick-Up: The Movie (2012) and Seduction (depends on  the resolution of the current scandal and her trip to Switzerland).
