I was only supposed to be picking up my concert ticket from Narita that afternoon and she gave me two schedules where I can meet her… 5 pm at the PICC Banquet Hall (where they would be giving out the concert tickets to the lucky Chasters who won) or at the fast food place where they would be having dinner (Narita had gotten the tickets for us since I was still in Mindanao finishing my project there). Continue Reading

(THEO’S and NEGE’S REFLECTIONS NOW ADDED) As many Chasters have already written about their experiences from the big concert night, we devote this part for pictures and videos. Judging from the videos uploaded by the ever reliable Chasters, the mood was great, full of high spirits just right after the concert. Continue Reading

(PHOTO ALBUM ADDED) Wrangling permission from my loving wife of 32 years was a snap, even if she knew that I would be spending Valentine’s evening with somebody who was so dear to me, but her knowing how this little darling lights up my whole being all the more made it easy for her to even encourage me to go ahead on my own… Continue Reading

A common theme I hear from Chasters is how Charice has inspired them in different ways. That is why, when I saw Charice, even for just a few seconds, in the final episode of an inspirational Philippine soap opera, I can’t help but ponder on how some people are able to serve as other people’s angels even while they are still on earth.

My first time singing at age 4 was a funny experience. My mom had gone to the dry market to buy food for lunch. Since I was alone at the house, I decided to climb on a table. I operated the karaoke and played the first song that I learned, My Heart Will Go On Continue Reading

On May 10, 2010, Charice will be turning 18 years old, and during the past few months, Charice and her Mommy Raquel have been casually mentioning the possibility of having a “debut” at their Tagaytay residence in the Philippines to celebrate the occasion. In the Filipino culture, a “debut” is a formal party that is embedded with rituals that signify rites of passage towards “womanhood” – or in a way, “adulthood”.  Continue Reading

MANILA – Charice continues to make waves in the international music scene and inevitably, she is now being regarded as one who brings world-class honor to our country.

Recently, she also appeared in the Hollywood flick “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel,” where she appeared as herself and sang Alicia Keys’ “No One” Continue Reading

MANILA – Terrific! And I say that after watching the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel this afternoon, 12 January 2010, at Walter Mart in the City of Calamba, birthplace of the National Hero of the Philippines, international genius Jose Rizal, the same town where quite a few years ago Charice won some cash Continue Reading

Charice is known all around the globe. Filipino media call her ”The international singing sensation”. However, Charice’s fans, wherever they live, are mostly of Filipino origin, and it is in this community of overseas Filipinos that she is really well-known. Continue Reading

She sings, she dances, she twirls batons and marches. She acts, she mimics Chipmunks. Now she plays drums? You better believe it! And who better to shoot video of our Princess Charice playing drums like a pro than? Watch as Carl videos Charice enjoying one of her “stress reliever” pastimes. Buddy Rich should watch this. Charice just hours ago played a set. Continue Reading

How does it feel to be in that moment, when that moment you’ve been waiting for (almost three years) finally arrives?

Poets never ran out of words to put together a beautiful rhyme especially when they are so much inspired. Others are simply tight-lip while in that magical state, so immersed that they momentarily forget the world outside, speechless because they cant find the adjectives to describe in glowing metaphor the celestial experience.

OPRAH.COM – I want to end this year with a Big Bang. At least, with a Big Voice. It´s true. Oprah.com itself reported that on the Oprah Winfrey Show in Chicago, USA 17-year old international singing sensation Charice of the Philippines made Oprah history exactly on 02 November 2009.
