However, despite her good image and celebrated achievements, Sarah Geronimo would also sometimes receive negative reactions online, just like what happened recently.

A line in the song says, “You can kiss a hundred boys in bars.” However, when Sarah sang this on ASAP Natin ‘To the lyrics were changed to “You can kiss a hundred girls in bars.”

This did not sit well with some netizens as they pointed out that the song’s intention was to tell the story of two women and they expressed dismay that it was changed. Here are some tweets against Sarah’s performance.

A netizen even said that this is the only thing worthy of being criticized in Sarah’s performance. “It just defeats the whole purpose of the song and goes to show that ang heteronormative pa rin ang mindset and views ng pinas, especially in the media,” the netizen said.
