MANILA, Philippines - Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo reacted to reports saying that she is threatened by "Star Power’s” first grand winner Angeline Quinto.
In an interview with "The Buzz," Geronimo merely laughed off the rumors, adding that it is not the right attitude.
"Masaya ‘yong iniisip ninyo na may threat. Ano psycho? Hindi, hindi magandang ugali yon," Geronimo said.
Geronimo stressed that she's happy for Quinto, who she considers as a friend.
"Masayang masaya ako for Angeline. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, sa wakas talaga. Kasi lalo na noong marinig ko ang istorya niya, ‘yong nangyari, masakit sa akin na malaman ko na ganoon ang nangyari at itong pagkapanalo niya ay sobra akong natutuwa," she said.
In 2002, Quinto lost to Geronimo in singing competition "Star For A Night."
Geronimo also accepted that, from now on, she will always be compared to Quinto.
"Lahat naman tayo laging may darating na mas okay sa iyo. ‘Yon ang challenge doon. Kailangan mong i-sustain kung ano ang mayroon ka at ipagdarasal mo din kung ano ang plano sa iyo ng Diyos at healthy competition lang," she said.
The singer believes that it is now Quinto's time to shine.
"Ang masasabi ko lang time talaga ni Angeline ngayon. Kailangang pangalagaan ko na lang kung anuman ang mayroon ako," she stressed.
Last March 6, Quinto and Geronimo held their much anticipated showdown on variety show "ASAP Rocks."
Geronimo admitted that she felt nervous doing a song number with Quinto.
"Nakaka-tensyon ang duet namin. Nanginginig ang tuhod ko. Hindi naman kasi kami dapat kabahan pero alam mo naman parang laging ganoon. Parang pinag sho-showdown, parang concert ulit. Sana hindi na ganoon sa susunod na production number together para mas magawa namin ng maayos," she said.
Currently, Geronimo is filming her first movie with Action-Drama Prince Gerald Anderson.(abs-cbnnews)
