The Philippines’ teen singing sensation Charice Pempengco has another feather in her cap: a gold record award for her debut album, “Charice”. The gold record plaque was awarded to 16-year-old Charice by Star Records executives last Sunday, October 5 at “ASAP (All-Star Afternoon Party) ‘08.” An album that sells 12,500 copies gets a gold status. In an interview, Charice, who became world famous after her music videos were posted on YouTube, thanked her mother network and the people who keep supporting her locally and abroad.
“Siyempre, gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa ABS-CBN, Star Records, sa aking ASAP family. Salamat po sa lahat ng Pinoy sa buong mundo. Salamat po sa suporta. Mahal na mahal ko kayong lahat,” Charice said. (Of
course, i want to thank ABS-CBN, Star Records, to my ASAP family. Thanks to all the support from Flipinos around the globe. I really Love you all.)
The young diva said her album’s carrier single, “It Can Only Get Better”, is the song she dedicated to the youth. The song tells teens to hold on to their dreams and believe that there’s always hope.
Charice’s CD features six songs, including the hits she sang in her TV guestings on the Ellen deGeneres Show, Paul O’Grady Show and Oprah. She said two of the songs were composed by producers from Sweden.
In a previous interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Charice shared her excitement and happiness over her debut album, which was launched at “ASAP 08″ last May. “Special itong album ko kasi first album ko. Solo ko ito,
pinaghandaan ko po ito. Lahat ng mga songs, covered po. Pero iniba namin iyong version para hindi magsawa ang tao,” Charice said. (This album is very special to me because this is first my solo album. I did
prepare myself for this album. All the songs are covered but we did change the version for the listeners.)
Charice recently returned to the country after several successful international guestings. Her last appearance abroad was in Winnipeg, Canada where she was guest star of Kapamilya’s popular noontime show, “Wowowee.”
She recently performed with ASAP champions, Rachelle Ann Go, Sarah Geronimo, Sheryn Reghis, Yeng Constantino, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Vina Morales and Zsa Zsa Padilla.

To Admin,
I would suggest that comments that tends to debase other artists like that of Sharpie should be deleted. We don’t need to attack Sarah or other artists.I thought all people here are nice and are out to support Charice.Why do we have to be like their fans? So Sharpie next time don’t write things like that.It lowered your person to the lowest.Just support and write about Charice and don’t mind the other artist.

Ang aking ikinababahala ay yung nabasa ko na ang BBC nilait ang Filipino maid, pwede ninyo siyang mahanap sa mga balita.
Filipino ka pa ba? Kung itinakwil mo na ang pagiging Filipino hindi ka pwede dito sa topic na ito..
Alam mo bakit pag Filipino inaalipusta ng mga Amerikano,British. Europeans and Australians ok lang,
Pero tayo pag nagsabi ng totoo masama ang dating sa iba.
Pero bakit ganun Mga ibang lahi may Freedom of Speech sobra, kahit ano pwede sabihin..katulad ng ginawa ni Teri Hatcher,nag apologized ba siya? BBC never daw Magapologize?Bakit si Perez Hilton kung anu ano paninira sa Artistang Amerikano.
Ewan ko kung Filipino tayong lahat dito, Peron kung Filipino ka sa puso Mararamdaman mo ang Panlalait na ginawa ng BBC. Sana maaproved ang petition.Lagi na lang kawawa ang Filipino..Sorry pero this is about degrading things na pwedeng sabihin ng kung sinong British,Americans and other European who are generalizing Filipinos.
Hindi ko masisi ang mga Filipinong naninirahan sa ibang bansa at naging naturalized citizen na ng bansang tumanggap sa kanila. Pero kung bumabalik ka ng Pilipinas para ipagmalaki na ikaw ay umangat, bumibili ng ari arian dahil mas mura sa pilipinas at para manlait ng kapwa pinoy hindi ka na karapat dapat na tawaging tunay na Pilipino
ipinagbubunyi ko ang OFW na nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa para sa pamilya pero hindi kailanman itinakwil ang bansang pinagmulan at patuloy na nagmamahal sa Pilipinas
Minsan sana sa ating buhay maging makabuluhan naman tayo sa bansang ating pinagmulan..

Good News !!!
Charice’s debut album reaches gold status.
Bad News !!!
Charice will get crumbs out of this. ABS-CBN will take a tremendous chunk of the deal.
Worse News !!!
They will capitalized on Charice global popularity even no contract exist between Charice and ABS-CBN.
Worst News !!!
Charice will be last Filipino from ABS-CBN’s roster of talents to be known worldwide. Poor Kapamilya talents.

It’s not too late to order your CD. It’s a perfect Christmas gift. My son ordered one through ebay and it took about 3 weeks, which was just in time for my birthday. It’s sad that it’s still out of stock through Starry-Starry store but there are ways to go around that, and one is go through ebay. The one that I got for my birthday was mailed from the Philippines.
