Sarah Geronimo has often been praised for her love and devotion
to her family. “I really love my family and all the sacrifices they have
made for me. Whatever happens in life, wherever my career takes me, God gave me
a gift that grounds me and keeps me humble, so that I know who I am,” she
declares. She also adds that being invited to be part of Coke Studio
Season 3 is like being invited to a family reunion of sorts. “When I used
to see the Coke Studio billboard, when I would get stuck in traffic, I found it
so cool, and I really thought to myself, ‘Wow, I wish that I could be a part of
that.’"

This Band are Andrea Manzano (vocals), Euwie Von Loria (guitar),
Miccael Galvan (bass), John Kenneth Macaranas (drums), Melvin Carson (keyboard)
and Reymart Gubat (lead guitar). They consider themselves as a family,
since they all grew up near each other. They started their career jamming
in the food parks around their neighborhood. They also consider Sarah part of
their extended showbiz family because of their management group. Euwie
says, “But at first, we couldn’t believe that this early in our career, we
could be working with her. It’s as if our career will be fast-tracked, things
are going beyond what we imagined.”

Andrea adds, “And we’re so happy that we get to remake her song,
because her music is really part of the soundtrack of our lives."

And just like in a real family, Sarah feels like an older
sister, and she can pass on some wisdom to her young colleagues. Sarah
reminisces, “When I was starting out, what was important, yung maging
plakado. But now, the young ones, they’re so free. And that’s great
because what really matters with any performance, is that you put your heart
into it. So I would just remind them to always put your all into a performance.”
