SMDC Pyro & Sarah G

MANILA, Philippines - The fifth Philippine International Pyromusical Competition presented by SM Development Corp. (SMDC) was recently held at the SM Mall of Asia along the scenic Manila Bay. The annual event put on a world-class spectacle of lights and colors staged by some of the world’s leading pyrotechnic experts.

Painting the Manila sky with bursts of vivid color, this year’s winners were Canada’s Royal Pyrotechnie as grand champion; China’s Liuyang New Year Fireworks as first runner-up; and United Kingdom’s Jubilee Fireworks as second runner-up.

Performing the night’s finale was SMDC’s Sarah Geronimo singing Star Life.

 â€œI’m thankful that I am part of the SMDC family,” Sarah said. “I’ve always been passionate about music and it is really my first love. So I’m very lucky that I was chosen to be part of SMDC’s music marketing campaign.”

Of the song, Sarah shared, “It has a very positive message and it is very aspirational to those who hear it. When I listen to the song, I am inspired to really try and achieve my goals. I don’t mean just my goals as an artist, but also in contributing to having a good life with my family. I think everyone aspires for that.”

“Make a wish and your dreams will come alive; Oh it’s the good life, by the good guys/Have your star life, you’ll be sky high/Be who you are, feel like a star,” the song’s lyrics go.

As the theme for the campaign, its message is clear: The time is now to reach for your dreams, and with SMDC, your dreams can easily become a reality.

Both SMDC and Sarah believe that every Filipino deserves a shot of living the life of a star.

“As the lyrics also say — Be who you are, live like a star… You don’t have to be a millionaire to be able to have a good life or live a star life. Living a good life with your loved ones, with your family does not mean you need to be living in a super expensive mansion. That is why I am so proud of SMDC, you’re sure that the homes you invest in are quality living spaces that are affordable.”

Sarah is still young but even she has begun thinking about her future, thriving career aside. For this reason, she also encourages her followers to always keep in mind that it never hurts to be thinking and planning ahead.

“If I were to choose which SMDC property I would like to have, it would be Fern at Grass Residences, ‘cause it’s so close to my workplace, ABS-CBN. There’s also Wind Residences in Tagaytay. I think it’s the perfect place to unwind, relax and chill out.”

Sarah also stars in the SMDC Star Life music video on TheOfficialSMDC YouTube channel.
