Sarah Geronimo wants to be friends with Cristine Reyes

ABS-CBN.com visited the set of Idol last August 24 where lead actress Sarah Geronimo welcomed the press who arrived in the middle of a downpour. "Blessed ako kasi tingnan niyo naman yung nangyayari sa kapaligiran natin (referring to the hostage drama), ito ako nagtatrabaho ng maayos kumpleto kami ng pamilya ko, I am very happy." Sarah is thankful and very proud of her new project and frankly gave her statements on opinions that Idol is a Glee (the Hollywood musical series) rip-off. "Kinopya ba? Hindi…Iba naman yung story. Parang ibang-iba naman yung story niya. Hindi naman namin ide-deny yung fact na Glee-inspired siya pero iba ang story. Love story about sa family."

Sarah also dismissed rumors that she will leaving ABS-CBN after her contract expires. She expressed how happy she is with ABS-CBN and does not see herself leaving her second family. "Hindi po. Ang laki po ng naitulong ng ABS-CBN sa career ko, bakit ko naman iiwan ang ABS-CBN? Very blessed ako na naging Kapamilya ako."

Meanwhile, she also cleared up the rumors that she and ASAP co-host Cristine Reyes are not on good terms supposedly because of Rayver Cruz. "Ay, hindi [totoo yan], fan ako ni Cristine. Hindi ako echosera. Kasi hinahangaan ko siya sa beauty niya, yung kanyang pagiging sexy. Tsaka mukha namang mabait si Cristine, hindi kami nagdededmahan. Sa amin ni Cristine wala namang dahilan." She added that she wants to become friends with Cristine and that working with the sexy actress wouldn't be a problem at all. "Sana gusto ko siyang maging kaibigan talaga, kung mabibigyan ako ng chance."

Sarah also gave an update about her dad, Delfin Geronimo, who was recently almost kidnapped. Though as for their legal actions, she was not allowed to speak by the court handling the case. Sarah said that the incident changed their lifestyle. "Okay naman po si daddy. Siyempre hindi po maiiwasan na ngayon may pagka-paranoid na talaga, may security na kasi dati wala talaga. Alam mo yung dati simpleng simple lang na kahit saan kami pumunta kami kami lang. Ngayon talagang may takot na rin, e. Hindi na po pwede basta basta aalis na kami kami lang, lagi na pong may kasamang bodyguard. Sosyal," Sarah shared while laughing.

Sarah hopes that the incident will be a warning for everyone. But she admits that she wants to forget what happened. "As much as possible ayoko na rin pong isipin kasi pangit naman mabuhay na in fear ka, yung lagi kang may takot. Sabi ka ni Kuya Ogie (Alcasid) si Lord ang ating best security.”
