As a child, she actively participated in school programs and joined many singing contests throughout her childhood. At age three, she was casted in the kiddie show "Pen pen de Sarapen." She also took part in "For Kids Only" and "Hiraya Manawari." She became part of the first batch of stars in the hit kiddie afternoon program "Ang TV." Yet it was Sarah's talent for singing that would cause her father to focus on developing it by enrolling her at the "Center for Pop Music, Philippines" at six years of age. Her father also encouraged little Sarah to train at home for two hours each day.
At fourteen years old, Sarah bested 10 other finalists in the nationwide search for Star For a Night (Philippine Edition) aired at IBC 13 with singer Regine Velasquez as program host. With her outstanding performance of Celine Dion's To Love You More, she won the Grand Prize winning 1 million Philippine Pesos and a 10-year recording contract from Viva Records.
In September 2003, she released her debut album entitled "Popstar: A Dream Come True". The album was awarded an astounding sixtuple (6x) platinum award, selling more than 180,000 copies. She also staged a highly successful first solo concert at the Music Museum in the same year.
Aside from singing, she also acted in supporting role for the films Filipinas, Captain Barbell, and Annie B.. After winning in Star for a Night, she appeared in several GMA Network shows until she finally landed a contract for several programs in ABS-CBN that became her home studio up to now.
Sarah signed an exclusive contract with TV giant ABS-CBN and ceased guesting in its rival networks. She starred in teen drama soap entitled Sarah, The Teen Princess in allusion to her cameo role as a child in Sarah, Ang Munting Prinsesa (The Little Princess) wherein she played the role of the main character's (Camille Prats) playmate. She also became a mainstay in the Sunday noontime variety show, ASAP.
She also obtained a multi-million peso advertising endorsement contracts with Jollibee, Charmee, and Talk 'n' Text for Smart Communications.
In November 2004, Sarah released her second album entitled Sweet Sixteen which achieved gold status in one week. The album has since reached double-platinum status, selling more than 60,000 copies.
Sarah with her co-champions Rachelle Ann Go, and Erik Santos (succeeding singing competition champions) staged a concert at the Araneta Coliseum entitled Night of the Champions, which also went on a highly successful tour in the US.
In the field of acting, Sarah played the leading lady opposite singer Mark Bautista, in the fantasy film Lastikman.
Sarah sang the theme of ABS-CBN's reality show Star Circle Quest winners Hero Angeles and Sandara Park's launching movie Can This Be Love, which was released as a maxi-single and achieved gold record status in one month's time.
Sarah also became a mainstay in the fourth season of the teen-oriented show, SCQ Reload, Kilig Ako.
In summer of 2005, Sarah reunited with her fellow champions for a United States Tour of Pinoy Idols: Return Of The Champions, which was staged in selected cities in the U.S. for a two-month period.
Sarah went on to perform in her first major solo concert, The Other Side at the renowned Araneta Coliseum. Viva Records released a live album of said concert that in turn reached a Platinum status.
Sarah was given the lead role in ABS-CBN's top and highest rating primetime soap opera, Bituing Walang Ningning (Lackluster Star), an adaptation of the 1985 Philippine hit movie classic. Here, she starred as aspiring singer Dorina Pineda, a role originally played by Sharon Cuneta.
Her third solo album entitled Becoming released in August 2006, reached gold status in just one week, and Platinum for about a month after.
Sarah continued to spread her wings globally as concerts were successfully staged in Taiwan, Canada, Alaska, and Dubai. The Other Side US Tour had her visit San Diego, Hanford, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Honolulu, Maui, Anaheim, Washington DC and Atlantic City.
While in the US on November 18, 2006, she was given the honor to sing the Philippine National Anthem (Lupang Hinirang) at a global boxing event, the third encounter between super featherweight champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao of the Philippines and Erik "El Terrible" Morales of Mexico at the UNLV Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Sarah continues to enthrall Filipino audiences locally and abroad. In 2007 alone, Sarah has toured major cities in the US, Australia, Canada, Europe and UAE.
Sarah is currently a mainstay of ASAP '07, a once-a-week, noontime musical variety show, and also hosts Little Big Superstar, a reality star search program for aspiring child performers that has recently concluded its third season. She is also currently filming episodes for a new primetime soap opera entitled Pangarap Na Bituin, in which she holds the female lead role.
Sarah staged a sold-out second major solo concert last July 14, 2007 at the Araneta Coliseum entitled Sarah Geronimo In Motion. This is also set to go on a 2-month US tour from August to September and will soon be brought to Canada come 2008.
Kilometro
Sarah Geronimo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gagawin ko ang lahat upang sa huli, sa huli,
Sa huli ay tayo
Kung kailangan kong tahakin ang kilome, kilome
Kilometrong layo
(layo, layo)
Yeah...
Ohhh.... Hoh...
Bakit nga ba itong agwat natin
Pinipilit palawakin
Pero habang merong bumabalakid
Ang pag-ibig lumalalim
Tila tala sa tala ang layo
At di ka na matanaw
Pero pag humahaba ay lalo kitang sinisigaw
Pre-Chorus:
Maging ang laot walang takot na tawirin
Kahit alon ay umabot sa papawirin
San man dakoβy pinangakong makakarating
Ikaw lang ay makapiling
Chorus:
Gagawin ko ang lahat upang sa huli, sa huli
Sa huli ay tayo
Kung kailangan kong tahakin ang kilome, kilome
Kilometrong layo Wooβ¦ Ohβ¦
Kilome, kilome, kilometrong layo
Wooβ¦ Ohβ¦
Kilome, kilome, kilometrong layo
Sumasalungat ang daigdig
At tayoβy di magkasalubong
Oh, dapat na ba kong makinig
Magpadala na sa daluyong
Inanod, inagos at halos hindi ka na matanaw
Pagtapos mabalot ng galos
Sigaw pa rin ay ikaw
Pre-Chorus:
Maging ang laot walang takot na tawirin
(Hoh...)
Kahit alon ay umabot sa papawirin
(Ohhh...)
San man dakoβy pinangakong makakarating
Ikaw lang ay makapiling
(Ohhhhh...)
Chorus:
Gagawin ko ang lahat upang sa huli, sa huli
Sa huli ay tayo
(gagawin ko ang lahat)
Kung kailangan kong tahakin ang kilome, kilome

Wooβ¦ Ohβ¦
(ooohhh.... ohhhh....)
Kilome, kilome, kilometrong layo
Wooβ¦ Ohβ¦
Kilome, kilome, kilometrong layo
Pre-Chorus:
Maging ang laot walang takot na tawirin
(tatawirin)
Kahit alon ay umabot sa papawirin
(sa papawirin)
San man dakoβy pinangakong makakarating
(hooohh....)
Ikaw lang ay makapiling

Even though their love is deep, the distance makes it hard for them to be with each other. The lyrics describe the efforts the singer is willing to go to bridge the distance and be together with the person she loves. She is willing to walk the kilometre-long distance if that's what it takes to be with them. The pre-chorus talks about the courage and determination she has to face any obstacles that may come their way. The song has a consistent message of a love that is unwavering despite the distance and how the distance only strengthens their connection.

The separation can be frustrating and painful, causing the love between two people to become deeper, yet more complex. The singer recognizes the difficulties of the situation but remains hopeful and committed to the relationship. In the chorus, she emphasizes her determination and willingness to do whatever it takes to make it work.
Overall, the song is about love and the effort required to hold onto that love. The message is one of determination, hopefulness, and unwavering commitment to a relationship despite the distance.

Gagawin ko ang lahat upang sa huli, sa huli,

I will do everything in my power for us to end up together in the end
Kung kailangan kong tahakin ang kilome, kilome
Kilometrong layo
Even if I have to travel a long distance, I will do it for you
Bakit nga ba itong agwat natin

Tila tala sa tala ang layo
At di ka na matanaw

Why do we try to widen the gap between us? Love gets deeper even when it seems like distance is tearing us apart. The further the distance, the louder I scream your name.
Maging ang laot walang takot na tawirin
Kahit alon ay umabot sa papawirin
San man dakoβy pinangakong makakarating
Ikaw lang ay makapiling
I will cross oceans and brave waves just to keep my promise of being with you, wherever it takes me, as long as I am with you
Sumasalungat ang daigdig
At tayoβy di magkasalubong
Oh, dapat na ba kong makinig
Magpadala na sa daluyong
Inanod, inagos at halos hindi ka na matanaw
Pagtapos mabalot ng galos
Sigaw pa rin ay ikaw
The world seems against us and we cannot meet. Should I listen and surrender to the current? Carried by the waves, bruised and battered, but still, I call out your name.

Honestly, βKilometroβ, for me, bears more of what they call pang-international ang level. The sound, the beat, the MV, the lyricsβ you name it! In fact, awards wise, it has achieved far more compared to βTalaβ. But the latter was a surprisingly mega viral hit! Its blistering take off to the skies happened like the proverbial thief in the night. And now it is soaring unstoppably, conquering the world, the galaxies rather, for what its worth, living by its nameβ Tala.
The same can be said about life. Thereβs this βKilometroβ who seems untouchable and unsurpassable. He sets the bar too high for us. And oftentimes, instead of uplifting our self-esteem, heβd make us feel very low about ourselves. That weβre not enough. That our best is not good enough. And while it may not be their intention to make us feel that way about ourselves, sometimes we just wish we never met them. But we just canβt take them off the picture. They exist for a reason. βKilometroβ exists for us to wait for our time and to make way for us on our road to βTalaβ. That itβs just a matter of time before we realize our worth and maximize our potential.
The underlying, profound lesson is written beautifully in the lyrics of the songs,
βkung kailangan kung hamakin ang
kilome-kilome- kilometrong layoβ (Kilometro, 2014)
βkapit lang ng mahigpit
aabuting natin ang mga talaβ (Tala, 2016)
