Naglabas ng personal feelings ang tinaguriang Broadway Diva na si Lea Salonga sa pagpapakasal ng kapwa niya judge/mentor sa The Voice Teens 2 na si Sarah Geronimo kay Matteo Guidicelli.

Isinulat ni Coach Lea ang kanyang reaksiyon sa kolum niya sa isang broadsheet newspaper. ‘Shocked-boogie’ si Lea nu’ng mabalitaan daw niya na ikinasal na si Sarah noong February 20, 2020. Whole day kasi ay magkasama pa sila ni Sarah sa taping ng TVT 2.

Ni katiting na hinala ay wala raw sa isip niya na magpapakasal na si Sarah. Bagaman, may nauulinigan siyang tsika na ikakasal na ito that day.

“The day before, Thursday, there was already buzz that one of our beloved coach, Sarah Geronimo was getting married on this day in a secret ceremony somewhere in the metropolis,” paglalahad ni Lea.

Karamihan daw sa staff ng TVT 2 ay ‘di naniwalang magpapakasal na ang singer-actress dahil nasa taping si Sarah the whole day and ‘working without any sign of stress or rushing.’

Ayon pa kay Lea, “A bunch of us were on Facebook jokingly discussing it, not thinking for even a minute that this whole wedding thing was anything but a sham. Then, on Friday, as I was walking from my dressing room to the studio, the news that ended up reverberating throughout the city… and eventually the country… met us head-on: SHE GOT MARRIED! SHE ACTUALLY GOT MARRIED!”

Kinagabihan after the wedding, nasagot ang mga tanong ni Lea sa naganap na kasal nina Sarah at Matteo.

“Later that evening, as I was having supper with a bunch of friends close to home, a video call from her husband came in. I got to see her face, completely scrubbed of make-up, flashing a brand-new piece of hardware on her finger, with him flashing his own. And she looks happy. They both do. Truly, peacefully, undoubtedly happy,” kuwento pa ni Lea sa kanyang kolum.

Nagkita na lang ulit sina Lea at Sarah sa taping ng TVT 2 last Monday. And this time, ipinakilala ang Pop Royalty not as Sarah Geronimo, but as Sarah Guidicelli.

Grabe naman…. nagmamadali talaga? Wala pang isang buwan, eh, gusto na yata talagang burahin ni Sarah ang anumang affiliation niya with her family.

Just asking lang po. Eh, karamihan kasi ng female big stars sa showbiz na nag-asawa, ‘di naman inalis sa screen name nila ang apelyido nila sa pagkadalaga gaya nina Megastar Sharon Cuneta at Regine Velasquez. Hindi nila inaalis ang kanilang maiden name, bagkus ay idinadagdag sa huli ang apelyido ng mister nila. At saka sa pangalan nu’ng pagkadalaga naman kasi sila nakilala at sumikat sa publiko, so, bakit tatanggalin at papalitan pa, ‘di ba?
