“Are you ready to rumble?” Absolutely! Especially Chasters with their matching pitchforks and torches all armed and ready to defend Charice. Well that is a bit of an exaggeration but still “To arms!”
Anyway, by now most people must have heard or read in the news lately about the controversy involving three DJs of the radio station Magic 89.9 and Charice. Guess who the DJs are? Read on!
It all started the morning of May 9th in a Philippine local radio show called “Good Times” wherein DJ Mo along with his co-hosts Tin Gamboa and Mia Bayuga decided to create a hashtag on Twitter that said #charicepempengcosextape as some sort of a “joke”. It became the number 1 trending topic in the Phillippines.
In Charice’s official Twitter account she replied to Mo twister as being “unbelievable” and thought of him as being nice because he interviewed her before…guess he was not.
Of course this will not go unnoticed as the radio station released an official statement saying:
“The management of Today’s Best Music Magic 89.9 does not condone what happened this morning, May 9, 2012 on Good Times. As a joke, the 3 DJs started an objectionable hashtag about Charice Pempengco on Twitter. And apology to Ms. Pempengco shall be made tomorrow morning, May 10, 2012 on the said radio show. Furthermore, as self-regulation, the DJs involved shall be suspended from boardwork for two weeks without pay as consequence of their actions.”
DJ Mo also expressed his apology:
I want to take the opportunity to apologize to Charice for a stupid & cruel joke on our show today. We attempted to be funny at her expense and, in the process, hurt her feelings. It’s with deep regret that we have come to learn that. in behalf of @suzy899 (Tin Gamboa) and @mia899 (Mia Bayuga), we apologize to Charice for our stupid behavior and immature attempt to generate laughs.
You have worked so very hard, not just for yourself and your family, but to put our country in a positive light, to promote immense Filipino talent, and you have done that successfully. We are proud of you and we are embarrassed because we failed to support that. Hope I could make it up to you and rest assured we will exhaust every avenue to do so. We are sorry. You’ve been nothing but supportive to our show in the past. We failed to show our appreciation today @OfficialCharice
The same also goes with the two DJ’s.
From DJ Mia:
“We would like to apologize for those that were offended at the poor attempt of a joke during our program. The spirit in which it was intended was EXTREME exaggeration and not of fact. Little did we consider the feelings of the parties involved. We promise our best effort to not let it happen again and bring a different kind of entertainment via the program from now on. Sincerest apologies to @OfficialCharice, her family and her many loyal fans. IT was a sheer lapse of judgement in which I deeply regret.”
From DJ Tin:
I would like to apologize to charice who has shown me NOTHING but kindness, & to u the listeners who have always been so loving & supportive, i am taking responsibility for everything that was said, but please know that there was ZERO malicious intent. ZERO. i am sincerely sorry. it was horrible judgement on our part, and i would like to thank both those who have condemned it & those to have remained supportive. i am sorry, and i will do everything humanly possible to not do anything like it again. in behalf of the team – @djmotwister, @Mia899 & myself – sorry magic listeners, Charice, & her fans. you all deserved better from us.
So in the end the question is, “who’s laughing now?”

Charice is undoubtedly at the top of her field in the PI entertainment business, and of course the fairest game to media and bloggers. She hasn’t reached her peak……so expect to see more exploitation. Such is the reality of life of a sought after celebrity….and bravo for Charice in defending herself with class and finesse.

The article was about Charice new look. To readers in here, please be advised that I did say its “my personal opinion” so if your saying again that I am damaging Charice in someway then it’s your own personal opinion. I hope this is clear to you all. Let us try to apply this article (with Charice’s own quoted words) here in this “terrible” Charicemania.com posts and all the related readers comments.
1) There is no doubt that Charice is growing up and will continue to do so and her ways will change. If you think it is going to be for the better or for worst then again it your personal opinion at this moment, until her career do soar to success or drops on the floor like a rotten egg in the future then that is the only time that your personal opinion will be proven wrong or right. I hope you readers or fans are open minded right now while you are reading this, OK?
2) If you love Charice back then when she was just a young girl because she was adorably cute, “down to earth”, but a very talented singer in a tiny “package-all-in-one” but then now you think and suddenly feel that she is slowly changing to a “rebellious” fully grown teenager, then maybe you are right? Please do understand that people are humans so is Charice. She will eventually change and have her own personal choices. All people have their own agenda in life and how they will handle it is a personal choice and judgement. So for those Charice’s fans (or CHASTERS) in here who is motherly like or who are in the age bracket or her mother, or those who are her “Kababayans” working in other countries (which I personally assume that you are all more of a mature person than Charice who maybe have their own children), then there could be a “slight” of truth that you “might” not like Charice now because she is becoming a “not-so-good” role model for your kids. By me saying that, I do understand that most of the fans when Charice was a kid when she was mesmerizing the whole world you feel all motherly like and proud of her and in the process you became her fan. (Oh my! I have to be careful on all the words I put here to be understood. I find this tediously irritating). But then again, let’s move on.
3) If you are one of the people or Chasters who I figuratively says still “have Fredie Aguilar songs” playing on your cassette tape recorders then if I am Charice I will truly say just that,
“I really, really want to tell all the people that I don’t care if you hate it, I don’t care if you don’t like it”.
This, I believe this is true from her heart. OK, readers do not just be hastily be angry with me again, I will further explain this for the benefit of those thin minded people again here with a questions to you all. Hove you listen to the music/songs on the current and every Weekly Billboard Top 100 Charts? What words you often hear on those songs? What are those words that surely you will find either offensive, incident and filthy words? Kindly do tell me all what those words are that you will oftentimes on those songs that are on the top of Billboard US charts? I am asking for you to respond and type for me “those” words here because I am afraid that this CM site will ban me for indecency. I do hope you know what I am talking about. Because I do feel that there are a large number of Charice awed fans (I call you fans because you always say you are “true” fans) that are not into this kind of top-chart-reaching kind of music and then Charice do admit that she like to be branded as “Hip-Hop” teen artist. CHASTERS (can I just put chasters instead of Charice fans becoz its really quite long to type here), have you heard one of the US top 100 hip-hop music on the “charts” recently? If you don’t like those kind music and what you like is that she to be a nice, kind, young and demure lady with no filthy words coming out of her mouth, then it is just fitting to say and I quote Charice words on this,
“I don’t care whatever you think.
“Tao ako—at least tao ako. As long as my fans love me and support me, I’m good with that.
“However, kahit sino man ang mag-stay with me ’til the end of my career… those are the people that I trust.” (end of quote).
CHASTERS do you now get what she mean by that? She wants to trim you down (you ignoramus fans). If she sees that you are like a white hair on her armpits she will pluck you out, and it is fitting to say that she does not care what you will say because your taste of music is not evolving to what is currently profitable in the music business. Just look at Lady Gaga, isn’t she weird or what? But does your opinion matters? NO! Why? Because she earn trophies.
I am really sorry to say that the likes of you “goody-goody” CHASTERS don’t like what she says publicly. Because of this I don’t really want to say that I am a fan or a CHASTER inorder for me to be separated from YOU. I DO like CHARICE and I am awed by her talent in singing, but I DON’T WANT TO BE HER FAN (CHASTERS) because I don’t want to be part of you. You are pulling her down from what she likes and what she wants to be. It is not you who will suffer if her choices are wrong, at the end it will be she and her’s alone.
I do now admire her GUTS when she said that. But make no mistake, she is not my idol because I don’t want to be branded as fan (CHASTER) because I might be mistakenly associated with you CHASTERS. The truth is if I were Charice I will officially say in public a disclaimer saying, “Please disregard all those that you might read in charicemania.com. Views and blogs are not all associated condone by charice and her management.”
And you know what CHASTERS, I am in a way laughing when I read that you are somehow pleading in here to Raquel, Courtney and old CHASTERS closely related to Charice. Why? Do you think that they are not teaching Charice manners and the right choice of words to media? that they somehow “fail” at some point to do their responsibility to her?… HAHAHA! I do sometimes feel that I will die laughing here in this CM site. People here do entertain me. In my personal opinion, from the start you CHASTERS really have no idea or realized or probably just didn’t crossed to your minds that this might be all a gimmick, a process, a way to steer Charice’s path to what Charice’s management wants to go to a profitable career? Honestly, I have to admit that I too don’t have any idea aswell, but I will broaden my mind to think about the possibilities and not publicly make an implied remarks that Charice is not blooming to your personal liking.
She really needs to trim down her fans especially those that are pulling her down. I do fully support her on this. Its the best choice of implied words Charice. “Don’t care what others say”
I am sad for you CHASTERS, maybe some of you really felt so bad when she said, “What you see now is the real me and what you see before wasn’t me.” Maybe some of you literally thought of asking, “Is she faking me? I’ve invested so much feeling and passion and now it comes to this?”
I feel pity on you goody-goody CHASTERS, She is now evolving and she will pluck you by making you feel that you will want to hate her so that you will leave her alone.
WOW! I REALLY LIKE THAT IDEA.

Maybe, unconsciously, she is blaming herself for what happened to him. Haven’t they, she and her mother, done what they could to be united again as a family? May she forgive herself. It is not her fault at all. She was a victim of their circumstances.
Let us all continue to pray for her.

Now, it’s maybe late, but as they say (better late than never)
BELATED ‘HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY!’
And another thing I wanted to add here, I just saw your latest interview from the Philippines, where you are asked about your opinion of Jessica Sanchez of AI. Charice, you may have a height shortcomings, but you heart and compassion and love for your fellow artist is gargantuan, and that makes you a giant in my view, your sincere words towards Jessica and your wishes for her to win makes you more a winner in my eyes and in the eyes of your unselfish and open minded followers here.
I, also have read a few of your fans showing their displeasures on Jessica’s success which were posted here and discussed on the live chat section here and other social network. It saddened me that her (Jessica’s) continuing present in the show AI, made them feel a little skeptics, insecured and worried, that her (Jessica’s victory on Idol) can put some hindrance and curtail on your success in America, a notion which is not only unfounded, but childish as well. Yet, crabs is one word they used a lot when someone tries to pull you down, a trait that they found so abhorrent, yet, they might not have realize yet, it’s the same trait some of them have acquired when it comes to Jessica.
Though, Charice, I wish you’re the one in her place, competing in that talent show every week (how I wish it was your rendition of “And I am telling you I’m not going”) I’m watching being performed in that show, then I don’t need to worry every elimination day, as I know with your ridiculous (borrowed word from Randy) voice and talent, you will wipe them out one by one until you’re the only one standing. Sorry Jessica, though I’m rooting for you, I still believe Charice voice is far way more distinct and powerful.
But, as Charice is not in that competition, I implore to all Chaster’s to support Jessica as Charice wishes and wanted us to do, as this could make that door (which Charice have cracked open already) be more wide open for other artist of their calibre. Jessica maybe just a half Filipino, but she’s proud of her Mother’s roots and proud having a Filipino blood. As have proven time and time again the power of Chaster’s when it comes to voting of any kind, Chaster’s is undeniably a powerful force and one hell of a fan club to reckon with. That’s why Charice is so lucky to have you and must be damn proud that you chose her as your Idol.
But please! don’t let those unfounded envy and unfounded insecurities and fear that Jessica can steal the lights away from Charice (‘coz, no one will and can), in fact it would help them both and others big time!, two.. three.. four are better than one, it’s time we show this to the world stage, be like Charice, remove that doubts and be confident enough that no artist can take away Charice’s exemplary talent and exemplary kindness. It’s obvious that she has no green color in her body, and Jessica no doubts has high praises for Charice, as been said several times in her interviews.
Chaster’s, don’t let some misguided fans make you believe that Jessica is a threat to our Idol and Charice would rather wish to see Jessica lose the competition, we all know Charice and she’s far from being that. Only Crabster think that way while Chaster’s would rather go the the holy way.
Let’s vote for Jessica, vote for Charice, vote for the other Asian artist who were denied the recognition they deserve, due to the region they are born, due to the color of their skin, due to some race supremacy, people who got the talent but struggle to walk past that very narrow door. It’s about time that door be kicked wide open, so all this gifted and talented people be recognized for all the world to see.
I apologized for this long post.

Do whatever it is that makes you happy, whatever clothes that makes you comfortable, whatever hairstyle you make you feel like yourself and whatever fashion statements you wanna show to the world.
It’s your pure talent I/we admired and not what you or doesn’t wear. What’s important is what makes you happy. You have given us a lot, and given us so much pride already. I for one doesn’t care what fashion or what gender you’d rather be. Just be yourself from now on.
Your musicality, (which is still incomparable) is what’s paramount to me. Okay, I do have just one wish, if you don’t mind hehehe, just please!!! don’t fill your entire body with tattoo’s… PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

She (Charice) knows what she’s talking about, as one of the judge in a talent show, she knows talent when she sees one, thus the reason why she said, she ( Jessica ) will win and should win.

i was one of those who was ignoring jessica sanchz, maybe because of my blind loyalty to CHARICE ONLY. and also because i knew charice outsings every singer out there. i was not even paying attention to jessica sanchez, i was just probably not interested LOL. i dont watch american idol at all! well i am in canada.
but i got incensed with a lot of PI-based pinoy crabs who use jessica sanchez as an instrument to bash and insult charice. just like when german moreno wrote — charice is laos and jessica sanchez replaces her. instead of saying, again another filipino, although not pure pinay, is being recognized in the inernational stage. and then some morons would exclaim, scram charice here comes jessica sanchez to out-throne you. arent those moronic statements@! and poor jessica and charice are the victims of this.
and thank you for your rhetoric, i hope this will help others to be thankful to GOD we have another pinoy up there. she may not be pure pinay, but just like bruno mars, apl de ap and others — thank GOD another person with some FILIPINO BLOOD in them is reaing success.
GOD BLESS~!

Co-sign, I 100% agree.
Well, what can we expect from Mr. Moreno. Just watch his show once in a relatives house and heard the talent he want to discover there and I almost crawled under their couches with plugs in my ear. Charice and Jessica are both gifted with extreme voice and talent. ( and after I heard Jessica version of ‘I’ll be there’ in the show, I instantly listened to Charice’s (which is in her inspiration album recorded and distributed in the Philippines only) now, that is why until now I can still say that Charice vocals is much powerful than Jessica. I’m just not sure though if she ( Jessica) could belt out Mariah’s version as Charice does, in fact I liked rendition than Mariah.
Nevertheless, I am fully supporting Jessica to captured that elusive crown, just to give honor to our race. Besides, I could afford to buy the future album of them. I have all of Charice album, even the Christmas album ( he he he), I have bought and downloaded her 6 Christmas songs from different source, all paid, then I compiled it and burn to cd’s, so I could play it anywhere in the house. She got 6 Christmas song on sale, except ‘ Oh holy night.’ go and check.

Maybe she wanted to be reminded herself of the lesson she learned. And maybe whatever she have done something that she thought was wrong, she does not want it to happen again. Because she knows that it will be stupid if she will do again a thing that will sooner or later will hurt her. Otherwise, its (body) art statement.

What the DJ’s did was not kind and nice and whatever their motivation was (who knows, was it really them, or the execs behind it?), I really hope Charice did not bother responding to them because now she’s given ammunition to people who could be potentially be really considerably much more mean spirited than those two DJs. Especially if she is to make it here in the US for good, she will need tougher skin than that and not bother with silliness. What is not true will not harm her and eventually if she did not bother with them, they will end up looking like #@@$@#$#, but by doing so she gave them exactly what they wanted, directly or indirectly.
Also, just a reminder for people that before they “judge” those two Dj’s as evil incarnate that to look at themselves to whether or not they have made fun of other people’s expense publicly or privately, and that includes people who give very rude non-constructive criticisms as well as those “crab defenders” of Charice who see everything that is said about Charice as an attack at their own ego and thus brand and judge other people as not worthy or lower than their own moral standards.
Having said all of this, I am glad Charice’s main comment towards the matter were fairly handled in a tactful manner in her part.

I know what you mean, big dog, except in the US there are so many loopholes; they can simply have someone anonymous pass on the message and them broadcasting it does not make them necessarily responsible. Journalists in the US do it all the time, starting with Angelina and Brad, and it is the first sex tape that surfaced.
thanks Trabichra. I am just glad that Charice remained silent about it for the most part.

Have you heard about Taylor Swift lately either?
Do you know where the Queen of England is every minute, every hour, every day? What is the president of the Philippines doing right now? What if there is no Youtube, would you be trying to find out about Charice like you are a cyber stalker, huh? Do you find yourself in your computer googling about Charice more than once a day? Is once a day healthy or unhealthy? How about, twice, thrice, or even dozens of times a day? Do you sometimes loose sleep listening to Charice’s music late at nite? Do you feel insecure when you do not hear anything new about Charice after one day and you start thinking her world is starting to fall apart? Get a grip on reality; Charice is not a robot, churning out songs after songs 24/7. She also has her private life. She needs quiet time and some down time. She does not live in a glass house where everyone watches every moment of time and post it in Youtube. If you feel a slight discomport when you do not hear about Charice, then you are showing an early sign of Chadiction. If you feel highly insecure, depressed, and feel that the world is falling apart because you have not heard about Charice for the last three days then you are a certified Chaddict and fit to be tied up. Perhaps a dose of Sanjaya Malakar or Sam Concepcion will help jar you to reality. All kidding aside, you have been spoiled by watching too much Charice in Youtube during her Asian Infinity concert. What other artist could anyone follow that much in Youtube during a concert; perhaps not many. You will Charice again. Why does it take so long to for them to get ‘Here Comes the Boom’ onto the theatre? Makes me mad, the whole summer is gonna go by and I have to wait until the fall for it to come out. Why oh why Charice. Why, why, why. Where are you my darling. Where are you my love. When will I see you again. When will I see you again?
