Not everyday can you hear about a fellow Filipina making waves out there in the International scene. But I’m sure you know, or at least have heard about, this little Pinay with such a great voice that astonished ordinary and popular people alike in faraway countries.
Charice Pempengco’s amazing voice was said to be inherited from her Mother, who has also been her primary voice coach since Charice began to sing at the tender age of four. She’s been active in singing competitions since way back when, and in 2005, her major break came when she got into ABS-CBN’s Little Big Star and took home the third spot.
Although she didn’t get the top notch, it is one of her performances in the said competition that brought her into international fame. YouTube posted her Little Big Star performance of Whitney Houston’s hit, “I Will Always Love You” and from that her career started to blossom.
If you are a fan of the Korean band Super Junior, then you should know that Charice performed with them before and even had their admiration. That’s quite a surprise, huh? Well, I still haven’t mentioned that even Oprah and her entire audience once got dazzled by her powerful voice. That’s solid proof that she’s truly a gem of a Filipina. So fellowmen, be proud!
