Heat Evangelista is one of those people you love to hate, but you just can’t because she’s so nice! Pretty, perky, and positively charming are just some of the adjectives that come to mind when you see her. And when she speaks, you have to add “witty,” “smart,” and “eloquent” to your growing list.

Childhood
Born on February 14, 1985 to parents Reynaldo and Cecilia Ongpauco, Heart is the youngest in her family, with one brother and four sisters. She grew up and studied in the United States. Her family moved back to the Philippines in her late teen years. She spent her high school years at the Colegio San Agustin, Makati.
Sarah Asher Geronimo was born on July 25, 1988 to Father Delfin Geronimo, a retired PLDT employee, and mother Divina, who used to run a beauty parlor in their house at Sta. Cruz, Manila. Sarah is the third of four children with siblings Johna Rizzie, Sunshine Grace, and Ezekiel Gabriel.
Sarah’s first music lessons came from her father. He would have her practice everyday to develop her singing prowess. Sarah first sang on stage at age two at a mall show. Sarah sang "Pasko Na Naman" with Pinky Marquez and Richard Reynoso. At four years old, mother Divine would accompany her to auditions for different TV programs. Sarah became part of kiddie shows Pen-pen de Sarapen (4-6 years old), Ang TV (7-8 years old), and NEXT (8-9 years old). In between auditions, Sarah would perform at shopping malls and hotel lounges. She was one of the performers during the 1995 visit of Pope John Paul II. Sarah at an early age joined hosts of different singing contests the first of which was Tuklas Talino sponsored by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).
Star For A Night hosted by Ms. Regine Velasquez was arguably the singing contest that catapulted Sarah to stardom. On March 1, 2003, at age fourteen Sarah emerged as the grand prize winner of the said singing competition with her rendition of the song "To Love You More." She won P 1 million and a managerial contract at Viva Artist Agency. The prize money was spent on tuition fees and the operation of her eldest sister.
After this turning point what followed are albums, concerts, her own soap opera, a mainstay at ASAP (a Sunday variety show), supporting roles in movies, endorsements, and legions of fans. She became a popstar, a teen princess, a role model.
Sarah paved the way for the next generation champion singers. They are Mark Bautista, Rachelle Ann Go, Raymond Manalo, Erik Santos, Sheryn Regis, Christian Bautista, Frenchie Dy, Jerome Sala, and more still competing. At ASAP, champion singers show off their winning form at Champions Showdown.
When not busy being a popstar, Sarah spends time with her family, they go to Sunday mass. Sarah enjoys reading J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, and plays video games.

De la Merced has a thing for speed and is trying to shake off the cinematic image of a racer as a tough chick by being a fierce competitor and an attractive woman on the tracks of the Asian Formula 3 circuit. She has always had a fascination for cars and got her first set of wheels from her father when she turned 18. De la Merced’s racing schedule may keep her busy but she loves looking her best. “I have a good beauty regimen. I make sure I have lots of sleep and water. I also make sure to destress before a race,” she said.
Gaby dela Merced, who is surprisingly petite for a race-car driver, is one of the most prolific competitors in the Asian Formula 3 circuit.
I’ve always been passionate about what I do. And that’s how you should live life, no matter how ridiculous things seem. It’s not about showing the world, but showing yourself that this is what you want, this is where you want to go, and that you can find ways to get there
When I started off, it wasn’t really because of an interest in cars. Usually you’d hear, ‘I’m a gear-head, I like cars, I like the engines, that’s why I ended up racing,’” she explains. “I was never born into a racing community. I didn’t really know what I was talking about. I just kept saying, ‘I want to race, I want to race!’ I wanted to do that thing that I see on TV, and have fun.
