MANILA — Sarah Lahbati is due to take a break from showbiz because she feels “neglected.” The Swiss-Filipino actress has said on Twitter that she was going back to Switzerland for her studies. In a series of tweets, she wrote: “Because of all of this uncertainty and stress, my family and I decided that I go back to Switzerland and study there. This does not mean that I will be gone from the industry and craft that I love. Just a breather from all the chaos.” The 19-year-old has only been in showbiz for three years. She first appeared on the TV talent search “Starstruck” in 2009, after which she landed both supporting and lead roles in several TV shows. Lahbati thanked her friends and supporters, as well as revealed that she had misunderstandings with her career handlers. “…I feel neglected and my back is against the wall. Therefore I have to do something,” she also tweeted. — SG
