Until now children singing contest is the most popular part of our yearly fiesta in Batangas. I used to watch it till morning, I have to bring my oun chair to watch it. And yes Charice become a champion in one of our town fiesta. Charice is a gifted singer, beautiful, beautiful voice. I will support you all the way. God bless you and your family always.!!!!!
charice. i like the way you talk and to sing. everytime! b'cos i know it's all coming from your heart. im so blessed! i hope you read all my message to you in MYSPACE.. -steve vai here.
Charice: Oh, there was a time when there were 100 contestants. I was number 10. I was there very early. I didnt expect anymore that I would win. I was just about to get in a jeep headed home when they announced the winner, and it was me! And so I was like, Thats my name!. We got off the jeep again quickly.
Charice: So when when we were walking (in Batangas) along rows of stores, (these stores are common during fiestas) I saw a little radio. Of course at that time, I was easily amazed by little things like that. So mommy said, sige, you should win that contest so you could have that radio. So there I go again (laughs) I went, I will get it, I will get it again. The contest probably ended around 4 am.
Charice: Yes, it was good that the neighbors were kind.
Boy: How about a mat?
Charice: Yes, because all three of us couldnt fit in the mattress. So yes, the money was gone so I
suggested to mommy that we could just borrow money and join a singing contest. So I joined a singing contest in Batangas. Its far, so if I had lost the contest, we really wouldnt able to go back home.
Charice: There was. That was the time when mommy got robbed. 4,000 pesos (80$?) was stolen. So thats what happened. We dont have fare money so even if we want to join singing contests we dont have fare to get there. But we borrowed some money so after Calamba, we went to Batangas.
Boy: Oh really? Wow, we havent known this till now. Buhangin So that was one experience, that time when the trophy was taller than you. What other unforgettable experience you had?
Charice: Ummm
Boy: Okay, how about this: Was there a time you joined a contest when you were really, really in need of money, and you really really need to Win?
Charice: Well, I really dont want to talk about it. But in those singing contests, there were what we call the batos. These were the veteran contestants that are really good. Their alias for me was buhangin (sand).
Boy: Buhangin?
Charice: (laughs) Its because I was so small. I was so small I sting their eyes (like sand).
Boy: And there are also the kinatatakutan(kinatatakutan= literally means, the scares. They are probably the best contestants that have the most potential to win). Charice, was there a point when people say, Charice is here, and the other contestants would go, oh no.? Were they threatened by you?
Charice: Yes, I was really amazed with the other contestants. They were all so young. Some of them even put on make-up all by themselves. Everyone had their own niche. It was like, you, you stay over there. or you, stay here in a corner.
Boy: You know, I have an experience with that. I used to judge in contests. I didnt realize that the people, the contestants, help out each other in ways like lending shoes, swapping dresses, etc. This is usually in the elimination rounds. So thats how it really is?
Charice: She even started a trend in costumes in the singing contests. Thats what the other contestants imitated. It was these shiny, sparkly, sometimes backless outfits with equally sparkly pants that widens at the bottom. So the people were amazed.
Boy: Oh, so you had a trademark?
Charice: Thats right. Thats why the people in the contests know me. They would say, oh, Charice is here. It was like showbiz, there are familiarities among the people and all.
Boy: So you tell yourself, I really WILL have that?
Charice: Yes, I REALLY WILL HAVE THAT. It seems like I forgot about the cash prize and set my mind on the trophy. I really wanted to have that trophy coz its taller than me.
Charice: This was also in Laguna, in Calamba. So Im done with Cabuyao, Santo Rosa (laughs). So this time its Calamba. It was my first time to see a trophy that big. So I told mom, mommy, lets get that trophy. She said, Go, just do your best, if you want it, just do your best. You know, when I really want to have something bad, thats when the very best of me comes out.
Boy: Where are the trophies, did you put them away?
Charice: Theyre in Batangas. Some of them are super old, they just accumulated there. In some contests, there are only cash prizes so its seldom that the prizes are trophies. For me, the most memorable of it all was when I won a trophy that was taller than me. Oh well, Im taller than the trophy now, thank God! (laughs).
i was never inspired by any stories till i heard charice.. her story is the most inspiring and very real one... hope God continues to bless her.. because she deserves all the happiness in life.. we love u! chasters will always be here for u no matter what! :)
at least she's taller now than her trophy....lols
