Sarah Balabagan Thanks God, Encourages OFWs with New Album
Sarah Balabagan has come a long way from being the helpless teenage girl who was sentenced to die via firing squad in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) more than a decade ago. Thanks to the world’s media, the efforts of the Philippine government and the prayers of thousands of people, Sarah’s sentence was commuted and she was allowed to go back to the Philippines. After all, she was acting in self-defense because her employer wanted to rape him.
On Monday night, September 15, Sarah Balabagan launched her album, Salamat sa Iyo at the Church So Blessed near GMA7 at Timog Avenue. It was more than just a celebration of Christian music. The album speaks of the journey that Sarah had since she came back from the UAE. She related how she got the scholarship to study at the Center for Pop Music Philippines.
At first, she was more interested in playing tong-its with the technicians of the Center for Pop Music than learning how to sing! Mr. Butch Albaraccin, President the Center for Pop Music, supported her throughout. They had to part ways though because of differences.
