their house at Sta. Cruz, Manila. Sarah is the third

would have her practice everyday to develop her
singing prowess. Sarah first sang on stage at age two
at a mall show. Sarah sang "Pasko Na Naman" with
Pinky Marquez and Richard Reynoso. At four years old,
mother Divine would accompany her to auditions for
different TV programs. Sarah became part of kiddie

years old), and NEXT (8-9 years old). In between
auditions, Sarah would perform at shopping malls and
hotel lounges. She was one of the performers during
the 1995 visit of Pope John Paul II. Sarah at an
early age joined hosts of different singing contests

arguably the singing contest that catapulted Sarah to
stardom. On March 1, 2003, at age fourteen Sarah
emerged as the grand prize winner of the said singing
competition with her rendition of the song "To Love
You More." She won P 1 million and a managerial
contract at Viva Artist Agency. The prize money was
spent on tuition fees and the operation of her eldest
sister.After this turning point what followed are albums,
concerts, her own soap opera, a mainstay at ASAP (a
Sunday variety show), supporting roles in movies,
endorsements, and legions of fans. She became a
