Wait! There’s more!

READ the quotable quotes from said magazine articles after the jump.

“I wanted to prioritize Filipino kids… but you cannot deny her (Dara) charm.  You cannot deny the X-FACTOR of this kid.“- Laurenti Dyogi (Star Circle Quest Judge)

“I know how my fans feel because I line up for a 10pm concert of FINKL as early as 6am.”- Sandara

“With a packed schedule and late night tapings, she makes it a point to call her parents to let them know where she is and how she’s doing.  Definitely a role model.”

“I was surprised to find out that she takes the cab to and from ABS-CBN everyday- and no one accompanies her.  She also added that, “I get up this early and go home around 1am almost everyday.”

“Naawa kasi ako sa bata, sobrang independent, kaya nag-decide na akong maging PA niya… maalalahanin si Sandy. Nagagalit siya kapag pinapauna ko siya kumain, kasi gusto niya, sabay kami.”- Tita Julian, Sandara’s 48-year old Assistant

Translation: “I felt bad for the  kid, she’s too independent, so I decided to be her PA (Personal Assistant)… Sandy’s thoughtful.  She gets angry whenever I ask her to eat first before me, because she  wants us to eat together.” – Tita Julian, Sandara’s 48-year old Assistant

“With her, what you see is what you get talaga, sobrang totoo sya.”- Neri Naig, SCQ Co-Questor

Translation: “With her, what you see is really what you get, she’s real/true to herself.” – Neri Naig, SCQ Co-Questor

“She is very independent and can usually decide for herself with little guidance. Wala syang kiyeme (She has no qualms about work).”- Anna Yambao and Jerry Telan, Sandy’s Handlers at ABS-CBN Talent Center

“Don’t you dare lose faith. Don’t you fight it.Don’t you resist the temptation to see what she’s up to at any moment. Don’t you question a girl who has gained a thousand followers simply by waving her hands, turning her ignorance of Tagalog and English into fame and fortune, turning an adlib into a punchline and a song lyric, making the big leap from animosity to the covers of magazines, and surviving the rigors of an ABS-CBN talent search.  You think she doesn’t have what it takes to command her price but you have no idea.”- S Magazine

“Admit it.  Swallow your pride. She got away with it. She was out, now she’s in and getting paid by her commercial sponsors for having a great time.  She didn’t need your approval anyway. Disagree all you like but she’s here and she’s here to stay.  That’s destiny playing one of its tricks, and Sandara telling you to shut up and give in.”– S Magazine

    omo! i remember those mags! kekeke. and there are still alot of mags before that featured her…it’s like Dara’s face is everywhere during her time in the Philippines. and she likes Tisoy guys with big eyes? i wonder if it’s still the same now. tough and younger guys? Oohhh….Ho Suk is her crush back then? Actually, Evan (Ho Suk) is such a cutie, I’ve seen him when arirang went in Manila.

    To all haters…

    hahaha …. i cant relate to all of you (with being an old fan and encounters with the goddess dara) but it was fun reading all your comments 😀 ……

  7. cursedgirl's avatar

    Those mags, I still have em.
    I guess I am really her fan.
    I voted for her during scq days.
    And whenever I see a mag with her name on it
    I immediately buy it without thinking twice.
    I am so proud of her, well who isn’t right?
    We are all proud of her, of what she has achieved so far
    and we will continue to support her.^^

    wah!!! I still have some of the magz… I agree with what direk lauren said about dara’s charm… Got totally star strucked when I saw her in her album tour here in Iloilo… hehe… Her charisma just overflows…

    But I feel soo stupid cuz I lost one autographed poster of dara…. (T T)

    I have scans of Dara’s mag from a good friend of mine who loves to collect her magazines. Truly Sandy is an exquisite girl..that’s why I love her for so many years..

  10. pipa's avatar

    Likewise here, a solid kapuso but during the scq days when i learned about there is a korean contestant in the name of Sandara Park, I can’t help but checked her out. I don’t know but she drew me to follow that show from time to time and find her really interesting from the rest. I was disappointed that she lost, i really cheered for her to win but i don’t regret knowing and admiring a Korean girl name SANDARA PARK!

  11. kissyv's avatar

    Waa!! I still have her mags too! ^^
    Love all those lines, especially about Direk Lauren, she does have the X-FACTOR! that not everyone has, she has the “IT” and it will never go unnoticed~
    That’s why it’s no wonder people fall inlove with her,
    and the thing about her having no qualms at work, being independent and her love for her managers, PA’s, her being true to herself and to the people around, is what made me love Dara all the more~ Thanks for sharing this, especially to those who haven’t seen and read this mag! ^_^
    Sandara is <333!!! ^__^

  13. lvl2's avatar

    Gosh! do you know what it feels like to be a true-blood kapuso then, until today, and an avid sandara fan now? it’s totally regretful and how i wish to turn back time and be just partly into syete so that i may have known her better earlier. TT.TT

  14. disky's avatar
