Kailangan ko mag-break. Siyempre meron din effect ‘yon. Magpapakaimpokrito naman po ako kung [sasabihin kong] walang effect ‘yon sa akin. Medyo tumama din ‘yon sa akin,” she said.</p><p>After resting for one season, Geronimo decided to come back and be more discerning of how things can turn out in a competition.</p><p>“We all want to win, as coaches. Pero ‘yong realidad, hindi all the time mananalo ka. Matatalo at matatalo ka. [But] this is not about me. This is for the artist, for the teens,” she said.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/02/28/17/its-official-sarah-g-returns-to-the-voice">READ: It&#x27;s official!

Pero ako, gusto ko makahanap talaga ng may originality, &#x27;yung hindi takot maging iba,” she said.</p><p>Will she actively look for one who could be the “new Sarah”?</p><p>“Hindi ako naniniwala sa ganun. Kasi everybody is unique in their own way. May iba’t ibang galing at talent ang bawat tao,” she said.</p><p>Aside from Geronimo, “The Voice Teens” will also have Lea Salonga, Bamboo Mañalac and Sharon Cuneta in its panel of coaches.</p>
