Sarah's fans, the Popsters, were in full force as they screamed for their idol every time her name was called and as she went onstage to receive her awards.
Pokwang, one of the presenters that night even cracked a joke at Sarah: "Sana dinala mo na rin yung lalagyan mo ng trophy sa bahay!" (click here to see the video)

masyado pa silang bata at bago pa sa industria bago matawag na phenomenal star, gigastar, star for all magic, star margarine, star ng buhay ko, super nova star, whatever star. kailangan muna nilang gumawa ng mga movies na challenging ang roles and above all longetivity sa showbiz. nora, vilma, sharon, maricel didn't earn their titles after 2 movies!
wala pa sa mga kabataang artista ngayon ang may karapatang bigyan ng malaking title. anihin muna nila to!
why can't you be happy with the success of others..she deserves it because she worked hard for it..
