Sarah Geronimo felt Jealous for Yeng Constantino being Engaged with Yan Asuncion
Sarah Geronimo admitted that she is jealous of her friend, singer Yeng Constantino, who recently became engaged to her first boyfriend.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News over the weekend, Geronimo said Constantino’s love story is truly inspiring.
“Naiinggit ako kasi nakakainggit 'yung love story nila. First boyfriend niya si Yan (Asuncion), first girlfriend niya si Yeng tapos parehas sila ng paniniwala sa Diyos. So napaka-inspiring ng love story nila. Naiinggit talaga ako,” she said.
While several celebrity couples have been tying the knot recently, Geronimo said she does not want to rush into marriage.
“Napakabilis ng panahon. Hindi ko naisip na marrying age na pala ako, 25. Pero siyempre kailangan pag-isipan talaga ng mabuti dahil lifetime commitment 'yan. Ipinagdadasal naman yan,” she said.
Asked if she also plans to have kids, the prized singer-actress said, “Siyempre naman darating at darating tayo sa pagkakataon na magkakapamilya at hopefully mabibiyayaan ng sariling anak. When? Siguro sana in my early 30s or before mag-30. Tignan natin. I’d like to have my own family.”
Geronimo has been romantically linked to Matteo Guidicelli since early last year, although the two Kapamilya stars have kept mum on their allegedly blossoming romance.
‘The Voice Kids,’ movie
Meanwhile, Geronimo said she currently has her hands full because of two new projects which she’s working on.
The singer was referring to the kids’ edition of the talent show “The Voice of the Philippines” and her upcoming movie with Coco Martin.
“Stressful pero fun ['yung ‘The Voice Kids.’] Talagang amazing experience kasi ilang kids 'yung napakinggan kong kumanta from eight years old to 14 years old. Stressful lalo na kapag naiiyak sila. Kailangan ng magandang way ng pagsabi sa kanila na ‘Maybe this is not your time yet. Konting hinog pa. Practice pa,’” she said.
Just like in the show’s first season, Geronimo said she still needs to use her charms as an edge to her fellow coaches Bamboo and Lea Salonga.
“That’s what the show is all about. Competition din ng mga coaches ito. Bawat team, talagang ire-represent mo. Part of the show talaga 'yung healthy competition,” she explained.
“Ako, dinadaan ko sa charm na kung ano man 'yung personality ko. Ginagamit ko minsan si Laida na pangkulit sa mga bata kasi kailangan talaga to entertain them and to persuade them para makuha mo sila sa team mo,” she said.
As to her project with Martin, Geronimo said they do not know yet when it will be released.
“Okay naman po. Hindi naman kasama ngayon si Ms. Ruffa (Gutierrez) kasi meron siyang ginagawa munang ibang show. Si Coco is busy doing his TV series din so medyo agawan sa schedule kaya hindi pa namin muna masabi kung kelan ito ma-show,” she said.
Since it is also a comedy-drama, the singer-actress said she is trying not to associate her new role with Laida Magtalas, her character in the series of romantic-comedy films with John Lloyd Cruz.
“Ang konsepto ng movie namin hindi drama eh. May pagka-romcom. Pero madagdagan din ng drama kasi 25 na rin ako. Actually iniingatan ko na kahit may comedy siya, dapat malayo talaga kay Laida,” She said.
This upcoming movie marks the second project of Geronimo and Martin together.

Jam Sebastian of Youtube Love team "Jamich" has Cancer
Jam Sebastian, half of the popular YouTube tandem and real-life couple Jamich, recently confirmed that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
Sebastian and Paolinne Michelle Liggayu rose to online fame for their videos about love and relationships, with their YouTube channel boasting of over 72 million views.
On their Instagram page, Sebastian revealed that he is set to undergo treatment for the next four months.
He went on to thank his brother Yexel for helping with his medical expenses which amount to P20,000 a day, and Liggayu for always being there to support him.
"Saan ko kukuhain yung ganun kalaki pero inako lahat ni Kuya... Nung nalaman niya na may sakit ako, sinabi niya agad na wag ko isipin ang gastos kahit piso at siya bahala sa lahat. Limited lang ang pera ni Kuya pero lagi siyang gagawa ng paraan kasi unlimited naman daw si Lord. 'Kahit ibenta ko ang museum magpagaling ka lang!' Yan ang narinig ko sa kanya," Sebastian said of his brother, who owns a toy museum.
"Ang malas ng cancer cells ako pa napili. Di nila alam na may Yexel ako na kasama kong lalaban, may Paolinne Michelle pa!" he added.
In a previous Instagram post, Sebastian said that doctors found a lump in his lungs.
In December 2011, Jamich appeared on the ABS-CBN show "Gandang Gabi Vice" hosted by Vice Ganda.
After performing on the show, the two gave Vice Ganda a life-size horse statue made of fiberglass.
Aside from "Gandang Gabi Vice," Jamich also made a guest appearance on "Kris TV," where they shared their love story with host Kris Aquino.
Last year, singer Zsa Zsa Padilla said she is ready to give love a second chance after watching one of Jamich's videos.

60 year old woman to graduate from La Consolacion College
Sixty-year-old Perpetua Cañete is enjoying her last few days in college as she finishes her teaching practice assignment in Lilo-an National High School.
Cañete is among the 37 graduating students of La Consolacion College in Lilo-an town in Cebu for Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education major in Social Science.
Before the big day on March 22, Cañete had a taste of what it is like to teach a room full of teenagers.
"I enjoy teaching young students, maybe because at my age, I have learned how to get their attention and have them listen to everything I say," she said.
Cañete has three kids, all of them professionals. One works as a nurse, another a seaman, and the other a businessman running catering services. Cañete's husband, meanwhile, is a barangay tanod in Poblacion, Lilo-an.
She said it was her family who urged her to enrol and pursue her dream of becoming a teacher.
In 2009, Cañete took a few units in Education.
"I just wanted to test if going to school is really for me. At my age, it's pretty funny to sit inside a classroom with students who are young enough to be your grandchildren," she laughingly said.
But Cañete was surprised that her professors were so supportive of her that they encouraged her to pursue education.
She said her classmates would also lend her their notes whenever she missed a class because of some household obligations.
When she was young, Cañete took up medical technology in Southwestern University. She, however, never got the chance to finish her studies as she got married at the age of 20.
But Cañete said being a medical technologist was never really her dream. She just pursued it because it was her parents' dream.
Teaching was something she would have wanted to take at that time, she said.
After she got married, she needed to work abroad to help raise her family. She worked as a caregiver in Taiwan for 10 years and then went to Hong Kong to be a babysitter for two years.
"I have worked as an OFW, encountered a lot of different kinds of people and children. This experience made me more equipped in handling students and teaching them," she said.
Though now 60 years old, an age suitable for retirement, Cañete still wishes to land a job after graduation as a teacher.
But she said public schools may not hire her. So she is hoping that private academic institutions may find her age an advantage.
"I am 60 years old, I'll be 61 in July. I really hope that schools will consider me and look at my age as my edge from all the other young graduates. I'm a mother, grandmother, teacher rolled in one," Cañete said.

What is the reason of Kaye Abad and Guji Lorenzana break up
While she refused to give details about her breakup with Guji Lorenzana, her boyfriend of three years, Kaye Abad admitted that "some things just don't work."
The 31-year-old actress, who first confirmed the separation in February, was asked about the topic during a recent press conference for the March 21 finale of the primetime series "Annaliza."
"Gano'n lang talaga, e. Trial and error. Nagkataon lang siguro na error na naman ngayon," Abad told reporters, when asked about the reason for the breakup. "Gano'n lang talaga... May mga hindi lang talaga nag-wo-work."
Abad, who earlier admitted initiating the breakup, said she is still hurting, "kasi napamahal sa 'yo 'yung tao, nasanay ka na kasama mo siya na ganoon katagal."
"Pero kailangan ko isipin 'yung brighter side o 'yung mas importanteng side na para sa aming dalawa rin naman 'yon, na para sa future din namin," she added.
Afraid to love again?
The former couple first got acquainted in 2009 when they co-starred in the afternoon series "Bud Brothers" and "Somewhere In My Heart." At the time, Abad said Lorenzana was already forthcoming about his feelings for her.
Asked why they never confirmed being a couple, Abad recalled how she and Lorenzana gradually grew into the relationship, noting that they never had the talk of becoming officially together.
"I told him na hindi pa ako ready, dahil galing ako sa seven-year relationship ko with Chito [Miranda]," Abad said, referring to Parokya ni Edgar frontman. "Naging masugid siya, naghintay siya, ta's sabi ko, 'Hindi pa ako handa.' Tapos sabi ko, 'Nasa sa iyo iyan kung gusto mo gumive up o kung gusto mo maghintay.'"
"Naghintay siya hanggang sa naging gradual nalang, e, na parang after a year... Parang gano'n narin naman. Wala kaming anniversary. Ganoon ka-gradual 'yung nangyari, na parang understood nalang na, 'O, siguro nga tayo na,'" she narrated.
While he was open in media interviews about his hopes of settling down with Abad, Lorenzana, according to the actress, did not propose to her during their relationship.
"Hindi pa rin naman ako handa," she said. "Hindi ko pa nararamdaman na kailangan ko na mag-settle down."
Asked if she is afraid to fall in love again, the actress answered, "Actually, hindi. Mabilis ako ma-fall, e. Lalo na pag 'yung weakness nandoon sa taong 'yon. Pero ngayon, medyo natatakot. Ngayon ko nararamdaman 'yung takot na siguro, hindi na muna."
