Charice Pempengco, 15, is born and raised in Manila, Philippines. She was well known in ABS-CBN’s first Little Big Star. She was the 1st runner up in Little Big Star’s Big Division. After losing the competition, she disappeared from the scene until her famous comeback as a YouTube superstar. Her TV guesting in a Korean variety show ranked as one of the most viewed video clips in YouTube last year. Because of her instant fame in YouTube, Ellen Degeneres invited Charice Pempengco to guest in her US TV show.
After her TV guesting in Ellen, international recording contracts were offered to Charice. At that time, she was firm in sticking with Star Records, ABS-CBN’s recording company. More TV guestings from different countries followed. It looked like Charice Pempengco is on the world tour. Charice Pempengco’s singing career was on top when she recently guested on the Oprah Winfrey show. We still have to wait for its airing next month. With her recent interview in ABS-CBN, Charice was over joyed with her TV guesting and VIP treatment of Oprah Winfrey. She was even given shopping money by Oprah Winfrey herself. Isn’t that nice? How about a pinoy blogger to guest in the Oprah Winfrey show? Count me in!
I just hope Charice Pempengco and her manager would be smart in handling her career. They should maximize her fame now or else in the year’s time she would be just as normal as the others. Oh, I can’t wait to see her performance in the Oprah Winfrey Show.
If you like this post, buy me a cup of coffee.

You were inaccurate when you said that Charice was "firm" to stay with Star Records. Everyone knows that Charice is just waiting for her contract to expire with ABS-CBN and Star Records this coming May.
After that we hear she is in talks with Clive Davis and David Foster and a certain Disney company for a record deal (possibly TV and Movie too).
SHe already had a meeting with them in NY last month but couldn't sign immediately because she's still under contract with star records from her LBS days from 3 years ago.
i hope Charice will take the best of this fame. no one knows how long this will stay
