Wala pod koy problema about our fine exports, bananas, rattans, OFW’s, Charice & Arnel. They deserve all the recognition and the last two truly deserve their present enourmous, shiny paychecks to secure their own & their families’ future. They are just trying to make it out in this world. Kaw pod, ako pod, ana ra god!

Kung datu pod ko pareho ni Oprah mang-discover pod ko og daghan pang talents sa pilipins kay puslan man dato ko og nag-apaw apaw ang mga talented pero pobre dire! So kinsa man ang mga dato diha, tagai na ninyo opportunities ang mga talents, now na! Basig papildi na pod mo kay Oprah og kung unsaon man nya pagpromote iyang discovery, tawagon ba niya of child, oldie, little, huge — way magbagutbot ha!

If today is Charice’s & Arnel’s time, great for them! If as artists they need to finally come on their own originals in the future, nagplano na ko daan na suportahan sila — basta lang ipromote para makahibalo ko! If their voices would start to annoy me, balhin na lang nako channel or dli paminawon, nonetheless lipay gyapon ko para sa ilaha!

Kung daghan pa mo kaila na mga uber talented na gusto ninyong ma-discover, i-promote na lang sila like writing articles about them perhaps?

As a pinoy wala na siguro koy lain pang mabati kundi kalipay para sa ilaha og pasalamat sa ilang kontribusyon kay atleast dli lang diay baha og kurapsyon ang balita sa pilipinas!

Thanks for da article! Next artist pls!

haha. i’d have to say i love charise pempengco..i mean she was my bet during that season of little big star. but she lost. anyhow, i agree to cebuaANNA above when she said we only learn to appreciate talent once the world appreciates them. i mean, if not for oprah, or ellen, or the world recognizing charise’s talent, she’d just “die” out as the rest of the other kids in that contest. she’s very talented but she’s also very lucky. i’d say she deserves all the success she’s been getting although i’d like to say the pinoys can’t be too proud enough. hehe.

serious kau na nga comment bai! hehe.

another post script….When an individual is already 13, 14, 15 or 16 years old, they are no longer called kids but teens!Thats why the word ends with “teen”.So that would make Charice a teenager already.You may check Hurlock’s book on Developmental Psychology.=) Smile! ! ! !

i enjoyed reading your article.for me, there was sense and humor in it as well.

honestly, i dnt know about charice or arnel before.cant imagine how they really look like when people were talking about them.i would say ive got to see who these people really are.

i find it funny for some of us Filipinos because we would only pay attention to a person when others (like americans) are already amazed or awed by them.are we that poor in appreciating people like our own homegrown talents?i mean, why wait for others to notice them.ABS had her already but did not give her the break that she deserves too.

i think insoy forgot to mention that charice life was featured in “Maaalalala Mo Kaya”. Zsazsa Padilla was her mother in that episode.Yeah!i watched it coz i dnt know her. Let me add this, Pacquaio also had a movie about his life–he was quite a womanizer too. I dnt know with Pineda. I find him such a “feeler”. I personally met and communicated with Jett Pangan before since he is the father of my former student.I find him cool and really a great singer.His band, The Dawn, they make their own compositions that were really a hit.Eraserheads too.Why does Pineda has to join pa Journey.Wala pa ring originality.Hes like “nakiki-hitch” sa banda. May I mention MYMP? This band is great. How come most of their songs are revival?Cant make their own?

Im not super against them like with Charice but can we just have originality and be more creative.

P.S.
Charice is also singing the song, “I Will Survive” by Gaynor

Hello Lorenzo,
After reading your article, I would like to know something: What is your proposed course of action? These are your collective observations and opinions regarding the recent phenomenon of Filipino singers finding success/recognition outside of the P.I., but you make it sound like that they should not have bothered finding success because it’s now violating your sensibilities. But what would you propose that us readers do? I would like to know. P.S. By the way, not all 16-year-old “kids” are getting pregnant in the US. It’s possible some are, but I’m sure that phenomenon also holds true in other parts of the world. Cheers!
