Giving back
Aside from topping the Performer of the Year category, Sarah and Bamboo have another thing in common.
Both are coaches of The Voice Kids, the singing reality show on ABS-CBN.
The two top winners are now sharing what they have learned from years and years of performing on stage to the younger generation. They are giving back.
Sarah and Bamboo are not only winners in the hearts of their many fans. They’re also proving that they’re winners in handling their celebrity status responsibly. That’s the hallmark of a true winner – on and off stage.
The Yahoo Celebrity 2014 Awards garnered over 17 million fan votes, more than double than last year’s count.
