Why not give Sarah Geronimo a teleserye?

Sarah Geronimo is a superstar in her own right, a very successfull concert performer, the reigning box-office queen, multi platinum albums and a huge loyal fanbase.

But why is it ABS-CBN is not banking on her for a teleserye on primetime TV.

Her last teleserye Pangarap na Bituin received an average rating as it was pitted against Marimar, but the show became a finalist in the regional qualifier for the International Emmy.

Bituing Walang Ningning, her first teleserye rated high, both in Mega Manila and in the national survey, reaching the no. 1 spot.

But why oh why? Is it because ABS-CBN doesn't trust Sarah in terms of acting? Or is it because the network decided to groom their homegrown talents for primetime rather than Sarah who is a VIVA talent?
