At three, she was already in the kiddie show "Pen pen de Sarapen." She was also cast in "For Kids Only" and "Hiraya Manawari". She was part of the first batch of stars in "Ang TV."

But it was Sarah's talent for singing that her father chose to focus on and improve by enrolling at the "Center For Pop Music Philippines" at six years old.
He trained Sarah at home for two hours everyday.

But this singer said to be the most favored one among the Champions but she is not the best. According to many critics it is Sheryn Regis who can be the best among them all. She just didn't win the million but she is said to display a different kind of versatility and powerful voice. Sarah was the most favored one because she was the first champion among them all but according to critics, she is not the best among them all.
