Pride of the Philippines: Charice, Finally on Glee!


After denying earlier that she has been cast as Glee's newest member, suddenly (or shall I say, finally), the rumor has come true. Charice has confirmed that she is now officially a Gleek! According to the news, she will guest in the award-winning television series' next season as a foreign exchange student who will rival the singing prowess of the show's lead character, Rachel (portrayed by Lea Michele).

Personally, I'm not surprised. Apart from Charice's amazing vocal talent (which is a given), she got some extra backing from one the most influential personalities in the entertainment world, Ophrah Winfrey herself. That makes almost everything possible. Yes, there are a lot of extraordinary talents in Hollywood which makes it hard for any new comer to stand out, specially if you belong to a minority group like Charice, but with the right connections, doors will be opened and someone's star will shine the brightest. Charice had the needed talent and the right connections, and so it won't be long before she reaches the pinnacle of international stardom; perhaps a Grammy in a year or two. Who knows?

I'm not a fan, okay, but I'm simply happy that at least, there's a Filipino out there who can proudly wave the Philippine flag onto the world stage, and would lift up the status of this talent-rich country as a nation worthy of other nation's envy.

I support Charice. I salute the Filipino talent.
