Charice Pempengco: Shining star from web to world stage

If by this time you still are not familiar with the upcoming Pinay music sensation and veritable web star Charice Pempengco, then surely you must be missing a lot. The Cinderella tale of Charice, made more remarkable by the magnitude of her challenges on the way to success, has become a source of inspiration for fellow Pinoys.

The story of Charice Pempengco begins with inherent talent and unflinching support by her family followed by the requisite window of opportunity and the "big break". In the case of Charice, these case came from her YouTube exposure (thanks to FalseVoice) and subsequent stints not just in Philippines-based shows (as with Sharon Cuneta) but also overseas, including a Korean show, invites to the shows of Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, plus golden opportunities to perform or meet with the world's best such as Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, and Mariah Carey. Some of the world-class venues where Charice has performed include New York's Madison Square Garden and the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade celebration in the United States and the Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, Tuscany in Italy.
