UPDATE 8/22/11: Reliable sources have informed Charicemania that this is not true. He will be there to watch the concert as the Chasters’ guest, but he is not there to perform. Instead, the planned duet will be on her next solo concert here in the Philippines, possibly this year.
Arjohn revealed today during his appearance on the Philippine variety show, “Happy Yipee Yehey”, that he will indeed sing with Charice on October 25. As Chasters all know, this is the date of the David Foster and Friends Asia Tour’s Manila Concert, which will be held at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.
The title of the song that Arjohn and Charice will be singing has not been revealed yet, but for sure, this number will be one of the most awaited performances in the concert.
Arjohn Gilbert or known as “Aeta Boy” (because of his Aeta heritage), shot to fame when videos of him singing pop and rnb songs were featured on a TV show, which then helped double his views on YouTube.
The fan-posted videos of his performances showcased his smooth voice while singing hits like Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and David Cook’s “Always be My Baby”. The latter one even featured his flute playing skills, which works great as an advertisement for the flutes he’s selling on the streets of Clark, Pampanga.
Charice must have watched his videos and saw the talent and dedication that Arjohn had in pursuing music, despite the hard life that he has now – so she immediately tweeted this:
Charice then urged her fans through Twitter to help find the boy and inform him of her offer, “Let’s find him, Chasters. Please find his FB, or whatever so we can contact him 
” Chasters succeded in locating the boy and they even filmed him saying thanks to Charice. Watch Arjohn say his full message in the video below:
It’s not just Charice who saw the potential that Arjohn has, even Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.Ap expressed his desire in working with him. It’s highly possible that Arjohn would be able to follow the paths made by these two Filipino international superstars, with the right team behind him and with his fans undying support.

“Always be My Baby” by David Cook

But I don’t think “Aeta Boy” is degrading.
It’s who he is. Aeta is a race, so it shouldn’t be viewed as a demeaning word. It’s just like calling Charice “Filipino Girl”.

Hi Sofia….sorry to disagree with you but even though the boy is an aeta, he should still be described using neutral adjectives. Something that doesn’t have to do with race, color, gender or sex. For you, calling someone an “aeta boy” is acceptable, but for some people, it sounds offensive because for those who don’t have an idea what an “aeta” mean, the word “aeta” pictures someone who is ___________ . So i think a more neutral adjective is more acceptable.

as a minority….. i feel better to be called by a more politically correct adjective rather then be labelled because of my race. For people who call themselves the majority, you wouldn’t know how it feels to be in the minority

My friend, I see you even here. Lol. Charicemania is important. It is about Charice and you and I and Chasters. It is not a local PH newspaper and definitely not a tabloid. If the article is not true, then just delete it. We are here to spread good news about Charice not report like a tabloid. I’m sure CM people will understand.
