The country’s megastar, Sharon Cuneta has always been loved by her fans, by the adoring masa and those millions of lives she touched as a celebrity with a compassionate heart. For more than two decades of successful singing, TV and movie career, the affable and approachable Sharon Cuneta never loses her glittering aura and star appeal.
What more can a certified superstar asks in her extraordinary life after all the blessings and luck bestowed upon her by destiny? By marrying a prolific media persona who flawlessly earned the support of the people and elected as a senator in the person of Senator Kiko Pangilinan is a reason that makes her a lucky woman.

Two nights before her thrilling concert-for-a-cause, the megastar pleased her ever-supportive Ilonggo fans club by attending their oath taking event at Belle Terrace of Amigo Terrace Hotel. It was also a perfect evening when she met one of her greatest and faithful fans, the 58-year-old Jessie Garcia.
