MANILA – Singer-actress Sarah Geronimo drew attention online after a video of her jokingly asking audiences to vote for her in a future election circulated on social media.

In a TikTok clip uploaded by the account @sgperformances, Geronimo was seen greeting participants at a fun run event. Before leaving the stage, she told the crowd, “Maraming salamat po, iboto niyo po ako sa susunod na eleksyon.”

The remark fueled renewed speculation about her possible participation in the 2028 national elections, which had already been the subject of online rumors.

Following the spread of the video, her company, G Productions, issued a statement to address the issue.

“We have seen a few clips making the rounds suggesting that Sarah is gearing up for the next election, or at least testing the waters.”

“For context: the video came from a live event where, as part of her closing spiel, Sarah playfully asked the audience to vote for her in the next election.

“It was a lighthearted moment meant purely for fun and crowd interaction.

“Sarah is exactly where she wants to be — on stage, doing what she loves, and inspiring people through her talent and artistry.

“We kindly ask everyone to enjoy the moment for what it was and resist adding any political color to an onstage joke,” it ended.
