International singing sensation Charice said that she will be spending the holidays in the Philippines with her family. “Kasi hindi po ako nag-Christmas dito last year, at iba po ang Christmas dito. Kasama ko ang brothers ko, friends ko at relatives ko,” Charice said.
The singer has recently spent a lot of time in the US to do shows. She said that it feels good to be back home and to spend the holidays with your loved ones.
“Parang masasabi ko lang na kahit ilang beses akong nakakarating doon at anong season man iba pa din yung nandito at nakakasama mo ang friends and family,” the singer said.
Charice said that until now she still cannot believe that she was showered with so many blessings this year.
“Naku, ngayon po hindi na ako makapaniwala. Iniisip ko na sana kung ano ang nararating ko ngayong 2008 sana ay dumami pa sa 2009,” she added.
The singer said that she is currently not planning anything for her career.
“Siguro po ngayon ayaw ko munang mag-isip. Lahat ng nangyayari sa akin ay biglaan lahat. So lahat po ay bahala na si God kung ano ang plans niya sa akin,” she said.
Asked what for her was the most memorable thing she experienced this year, Charice replied: “Hindi ako pwedeng mamili ng isa kasi lahat memorable nakapag-duet ako kay Celine, nag-guest kay Oprah and Ellen. So lahat memorable po.”
Charice with David Foster
Charice is now being handled by one of the world’s well-known musician-singers David Foster. She said that Foster is looking forward to staging a concert here with some of his international star friends.
“Hindi ko po sure yon, pero pinag-uusapan po yon. Kasi birthday ko po next year magkakaroon kami ng David Foster & Friends sa Mandalay Bay. Ako ang isa sa main event pero gustong gusto niyang pumunta dito sa Pilipinas. Kasi lagi kaming magkasama. So parang gustong gusto niyang magkaroon ng David Foster & Friends dito sa Pilipinas sa Araneta,” Charice shared.
Charice made headlines when she performed a duet with Celine Dion in New York. She said that she will be busy recording her international debut CD in 2009.
“Simula na akong mag-recording for my international debut album siguro kapag 17 na ako saka ko ire-release ang album,” Charice said.
Just recently Charice was part of the prestigious Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in States.
Before she went home, the young singer also guested in a special event in the US where she met Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lionel Richie.

Just asking……
As in boxing, is PPV (pay per view) every done before in musical concerts? Would someone explore this possibility because I don’t have to go to the coliseum or abroad to see it. It is better to see it in the comfort of my home or nearby theaters.

Mark my words Charice, 2008 is only the beginning. You will be as big or even bigger than your “idols”, because your talent is extraordinary. It’s not only your voice, your total command of the stage but it is also because of who you are, your humility, the wholesomeness that you exude. That’s why it behooves me why it took Ellen, Oprah and David to recognize those and not anyone of our kapwa Pinoy. But that’s all water under the bridge now, look forward to a shining future, it won’t be easy, mind you, there will be detractors even among your so-called fans, but with your natural decency of spirit, you will prevail. Merry Christmas.
I’ll see you in Mandalay Bay, come May 9. It will be my first time to watch and hear you live in person. My daughter and myself are booked overnight in the same hotel. I have a feeling that that concert might be the launching of your international album. More power and take care of yourself.
