Sarah Geronimo pays tribute to Daddy Delfin, Mommy Divine during sold-out concert

MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya singer Sarah Geronimo paid tribute to her parents during her sold-out concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Friday. 

Sarah performed her heartfelt rendition of Wency Cornejo's "Habang May Buhay" dedicated to her Daddy Delfin. 

"He taught me to work hard. He has trained me. Naalaala ko po, every morning at nine o’clock, bumabangon kami. Gustung-gusto ko pong bumabangon ng umaga para po mag-ensayo," Sarah said. 

"Pinapaakyat niya po ako sa lamesita namin at dun po ako nagpe-perform, na ang feeling ko po, 'yun ang stage ko," she added.
