What are her future projects?

Sharon: I have just recently released my new album entitled Children’s Rhymes & Lullabies. It’s a 2 CD set album featuring a collection of English and Tagalog songs, which Filipino parents can play for their children and their children’s children. Children’s Rhymes & Lullabies features school and learning time songs such as Alphabet Song, and Sampung Mga Daliri, Magtanim Ay Di Biro, Pen Pen De Sarapen and sleep time songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and When You Wish Upon A Star. I will also be doing a love story project with StarCinema and will be recording an OPM album. I’m also writing a book on my life, and will soon have a regular column in a major daily newspaper. Was it hard getting out of her mom’s shadow?
KC: Yes, it was difficult. There was so much pressure and comparison to my dad and my mom. It was challenging but I think I was able to do it.
Besides her career in showbiz, KC has also been chosen by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to be the Philippines’ ambassador against hunger "In her heart, she chose the job, but the UNchose her," said KC’s proud megamom. KC joined Hollywood stars, Drew Barrymoore and Sean Penn, and other WFP celebrity endorsers who travel around the world to raise awareness about WFP operations and to address humanitarian needs and highlight the need for effective solutions to hunger. "Imagine, she got to meet Bill Clinton and Jet Li, who have been my crushes for the longest time!" added Sharon. Of KC’s accomplishments, Sharon said, " she did it all on her own. She will be a bigger star than me."
Best advice she has received from her mother?
KC: She has taught me, by example, to treat everyone equally. Hindi nangmamata ng tao. We treat our helpers at home like family. Also, to keep my feet on solid ground.
Besides her mom, who are her other role models?
KC: Vilma Santos, who "has been doing a great job in public service and entertainment" and Lea Salonga, who has "mentored me a lot".

Any other hidden talents?

Sharon: KC is a good writer and very creative. She’s been writing beautiful songs since she was a little girl. And she’s constantly writing journals, documents, blogs.
KC: My mom is a great cook and baker.
What are her plans for the future?
Sharon: Three times, I’ve thought of retiring but every time, something happens that shows it’s not God’s will yet. Ayaw pa niya. So, I just take my cue from what God throws in my way. I will be here for as long as my fans want me.
KC: "I take it day by day. I’m open to whatever God gives me. I really don’t plan what I’ll be doing next year. That’s what my managers do for me. I know I’ll still be busy in show biz and in my UNwork. But politics is not in my plans. Showbiz is politics enough. And of course, as a young woman, I also look forward to having a family of my own in the future."
