Reaction on wholesome Charize posing sexy
by yenjam, on Thu, Dec 16 2010 | 1 Comment
Filipinos are conservative no matter what. Compared to women of other culture, we are still much more old-fashioned in some ways. Maybe, there are a few who are quite liberated. Most of them may have been influenced by other culture. Yet, an average of us is still very conservative in nature and this is most probably because of our upbringings.
The lead vocalists of American rock/pop band “Gin Blossoms” once commented to the very popular singing sensational idol, Charice Pempinco. “She is extraordinary hot and we will be looking forward to her Maxim magazine cover,” Robert Wilson said on a press conference during their concert here in the Philippines. He added that the teen idol has no reason at all why she cannot pose for a sexy men’s magazine. My! They just do not know how conservative we are.
They compared Charize to her contemporaries in Glee, Dianna Agron and Lea Michele who both posed sexy for GQ magazine. Out of doing so, the two Glee stars became more popular. However, in the press conference for David Foster and Friends Show held recently in Manila, the 18 year old young diva was interviewed regarding whether she has considered posing sexy just like Agrona and Michele. Unfortunately, her mentor David Foster refuse to talk any further and tried to evade the issue. Being obedient, Charize just answered apologetically to the group of reporters, “Okay, that is the answer, salamat po.”
Moreover, Charize’s reaction towards the comment made by the popular singing vocalist, Robin Wilson from the Gin Blossoms group, did not actually intimidated her. She just stated ,”If ever Robin is truthful of what he said about me posing provocatively, well then I am grateful for such compliment. But if he said that to insult me then, I would not mind it at all. That would still be fine with me.” With her mentor, it is not an issue to be talked about, but when questioned about it, composer David Foster quickly grabbed his protégée by her arm and said, “It is time to leave.” In spite of the incident, Charize tried to defend her mentor by saying that he is just over-protective of her career in singing and nothing more.
Charice Hits the Right Note

MANILA, Philippines – International young singer Charice got thumbs up from singers Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez for singing the National Anthem the right way at the inauguration of President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.
“Charice’s version of the Philippine National Anthem was very nice. It was the original tempo,” said Velasquez as she and Alcasid were being escorted by marshals to the tent behind the makeshift stage at Quezon Memorial Circle, site of the inaugural street party of the new President, last Wednesday night.
“Okay ang pagkanta ni Charice ng Pambansang Awit,” added Alcasid, who co-wrote Noynoy’s inaugural song “Bagong Pilipinas” with progressive artist Noel Cabangon.
The National Historical Commission reportedly also gave a raving review to Pempengco’s rendition and for adhering to its lawful interpretation under the masterful guidance of Ryan Cayabyab.
Spirits high
Alcasid and Velasquez had a “marathon” concert Wednesday which began in the morning as they performed during the inauguration of Aquino at the Quirino Grandstand.
At dusk, the couple headed to the Quezon Memorial Circle to participate in the “Panalo sa Pagbabago” victory show organized by Aquino supporters.
Gary Valenciano, too, didn’t show signs of fatigue as he sang for Aquino’s inauguration and later shuttled to the Quezon City park.
Even the impending rain didn‚Äôt dampen their spirits and enthusiasm to participate in the new administration’s pursuit of change.
The audience, who numbered in the thousands, didn’t mind the drizzle as they watched Gary V strut his stuff.
If the figures were an indication, Valenciano, in his call for reform through his songs, had cut across all sectors of society.
They all shouted for joy at Gary’s medley of pop and inspirational songs.
Coming as far as Laguna and Batangas in the south and Bulacan and Nueva Ecija in the north, people of all ages trooped to the venue to witness a well-meaning gig tagged as a street party in the history of a nation.
As one bystander observed, “all walks of life talaga ang mga tao dito sa Quezon Memorial Circle.”
It seemed the festive mood was a symbol of Filipinos’ emancipation from bondage and tyranny.
Stars from rival networks
Kris Aquino with sons Joshua and Baby James in tow came with sisters Ballsy and Viel. The sisters sat in front of the stage and braved the rain.
“Wow, kahit si Ms. Kris Aquino, kapiling ninyo sa gitna ng ulan,” announced Vhong Navarro which drew applause and cheers from spectators.
Mariel Rodriguez, in her opening spiel, said she was seeking the approval of Kris to have her photograph taken with Kris’s brother P. Noy. Kris readily gave her approval.
It was a fiesta-like event with Zsa Zsa Padilla, Pokwang, Jovit Baldivino, Pooh, Kim Chiu, Rayver Cruz and many other stars providing entertainment.
It was also a time for the coming together of both Kapuso and Kapamilya celebrities who sang side by side. Jay-R, Nina, Jed Madela and Kyla took to the stage to represent “ASAP” and “Party Pilipinas” in the show.
Before the main concert, bands dished out songs to the delight of the young people in the crowd.
One of the most anticipated numbers in the concert was the solo number of P. Noy. Many stayed around for his arrival and performance on stage.
Earlier, spokesperson Jing Magsaysay refused to reveal what the President would sing.
Later on, one of the senior production staff of the show said P. Noy would sing “Got to Believe in Magic,” a song popularized by David Pomeranz.
In the end, however, P. Noy sang “Watch What Happens” by Michel Legrand.
As the public demanded another song, P. Noy called on other singers and he sang with them Freddie Aguilar’s ‚ÄúEstudyante Blues‚Äù.
According to reports, P. Noy changed his mind about performing a number but had to sing just the same for the people.
