You may end up googling and find its meaning in Wikipedia or Websters. This generation is very much influenced by western culture that every little thing will resort to an argument when Independence or freedom is talked about. So what is freedom or independence for you? Is it being free from talking about yourself, status in life or about other people’s misfortune, their physical appearance, and so on…? It doesn’t matter how you perceive freedom or independence. It is on how responsible you are in exercising your freedom. Just like media for example, i grow up curios about TV and print media. My day isn’t complete without being informed on the latest happenings locally and around the globe. As I grew older I became more interested in politics and tv personalities (which is obvious :)).
Since 2003, the time I’ve watched the reality TV show where my ultimate idol  Sarah Geronimo won. She was so charming and down to earth. I am not an official fan club member of popsters, but I supported her in every way i can. Even now that I am a million miles away. I have witnessed her humble beginnings based on the print and ad news. Bought some of her CD’s,  Magazines that featured her, went to her concerts in Cebu (not all because I’m quite thrifty, and I had ample bills to pay back then :)).
As a witness to Sarah’s humble beginnings then and now. I can’t help to praise her more, for all these years- she is still the same down to earth person. People around her may have changed, like her parents, relatives or fellow artists,  but not Sarah. Her freedom to do things her way have always been an issue. The jolly and an amazing performer enjoying her every performance on stage is totally different when cameras aren’t rolling. She isn’t free to do things a normal young adult could do. It was understandable because she has to depict an image for her followers, especially the youth. She remained innocent and level-headed as years passed. The constant guidance of her parents were admired by everyone, but not when her young heart started to beat.  Media speculated on how her parents treat her- like a fish in an aquarium. Sarah was mum and didn’t bad mouth her parents. She stood by them all the way.  A good daughter managed to overcome her heartache with her parents around. She knew, they would only wish the best for her and that every decision she makes would always need their approval.
Now, at the age of 27 turning 28 this year.  She has all the reasons to take control of her life as an adult. Of all the years of sweat, blood and tears to reach her dreams and to give her family a very good life. She deserves her freedom. It doesn’t mean rebelling from her parents (as what others may see it). It’s being free to go out, watch a movie/concert, eat out, drive, run errands herself or spend time with friends and boyfriend. It is so selfish not letting her do these things. Her values remain no matter how independent she can be because it’s already in her. Who are we to judge? People may take advantage of  her innocence. But for sure, she will trust her instinct. She always find goodness in every person that’s why I and my fellow fans love her dearly!
Thank you for being a good example to both young and old queen Sarah G! I wish you a well-deserved freedom. God is always watching over you. We love you!!!
