    hi mga kapuso, suportahan nalang natin si charice gaya ng pagsuporta ng kapuso @netork sa kanya kahit na sya ay kapamilya. though la syang contract with abs cbn pero considered pa rin sya as kapamilya. pero tignan nio ang gma todo suporta @ay charice. lagi sya na fefeature sa kapuso. GMA SUPPORTS CHARICE SO MGA KAPUSO, LETS SUPPORT HER..

  5. Daming ampalaya. Nakakahiya kayo. Kapwa nyo Pilipino hinahamak nyo ng ganyan. May mga napatunayan na ba kayo? Sabi nga ni Ms. Lea Salonga “the talentless are always resentful”. Go Charice!!!!! Deadma na lang sa mga nega.

    I AM VERY PROUD OF CHARICE. SHE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST STAR OF HER GENERATIONS. LET US SET ASIDE OUR CRAB MENTALITY…WHETHER U ARE KAPUSO OR KAPAMILYA U SHOULD PROUD OF HER. STOP COMPARING HER WITH OUR LOCAL SINGERS.

  8. walang mangyayari kung puro away nalang…ang problema kasi ng mga pilipino walang unity kahit simpleng comments lang sa net..naku hah magbago na tayo..

  9. guys,mmaya na lng muna yang awayan nyo..anu nga bang mrrating natin dyan kung puro nalng nagkkasakitan…i mean, i charice…but wag na natin isali ang mga networks natin…sana magkakaisa tayong lahat para naman mas masusuportahan pa natin si charice…=)

  10. kya nga d maxadong sumiskat c charice dahil crab mentality ang pinoy. cla mismo ang sumisira kay charice. at yung mga istasyon ng abs at gma… hayz sumasawsaw lng yan kay charice. pareho naman clang bulok at walng originality. 2 istasyon lng tlga ang original ang RPN AT IBC. kya nga wla akong gana manood ng local. manood nlng kau ng spongebob.

  11. Congrats Charise! Kapamilya! // September 21, 2010 at 1:40 pm //

    anong May tampo si Charisse sa ABS…. Ang sabihin nyo mga KANGUSO! ingit na naman kayo! KASI SI SON GOKU lang naman talaga sikat sa inyo!

  12. to #27 d si makisig kalaban nya… si sam concepcion

  13. tama si mamaoraki dahil ganyan naman talaga ang abs, mangga as in manggagamit, hindi ako kapuso pero dapat sana hindi sa gma7 fans sinisisi ng mga bobong mga commentator na ito ang mga naninira kay charice, for me gusto ko sia hindi lang dahil sa talent nia as well as napakita nia rin sa mundo ang talent ng pinoy thru singing, para sa kin mga fans ni sarah geronimo (particularly na mga baklang lansangan – as in askals) ang mga insecure na insecure kay charice….move on mga fans ni sarah….lalo na at lilipat na sia ng station..soon

  14. there is reason why abscbn did not invest in her. she can only be a one-off international singing sensation like an American Idol runner-up has been. if not for glee, what is she doing now? nothing!

  15. wag na kayong mainggit,, tagumpay nating lahat yan… kung pangit sya(sa standard nyo ng kapangitan), eh anu ngayon??? she rocks the US Music Industry!!!

    kalimutan muna natin ang pagiging kapuso at kapamilya pag tungkol na sa bansa okay??!

  16. her album is flop. it will be her last in international i’m sure. big recording company will not invest in her anymore i’m sure

  17. Charice got token treatment from a TV network that was now claiming her as theirs, and which produced an ill-promoted album for her with forgetful songs. She’d have a music video or two, both neither here nor there. She’d be forced to perform live with better dressed singers, highlighting her difference even more given a standardized Pinoy TV aesthetic. This is the aesthetic that two years later would make her imagine that she needed less of her cheeks and could go under the needle for it, something that should be blamed more on the TV network’s imposition of what looks normal.

  18. ang panget mo moka kang katolong bakit ka sumisikat? Magogonaw na ba ang mondo?

  19. Charice’s success, our failures

    If anything we should be learning from the way they’ve managed and planned Charice’s international career, a far cry from the way it happens here. First, they let her be the little girl with a big voice, who might have been singing mature songs for her age, but was actually always singing to her mom (even changing lyrics). Second, they set a limit to her TV guestings even on Oprah, refusing what we know in this country to be the principle of bombardment: we are told that the more we see a celebrity, the bigger her star will become. Third, they waited until it was time to come out with a CD that would sell, which meant waiting for Charice to turn 18, lose her baby fat, and become worthy of a young diva-look: long sleek hair, tight-fitting clothes, and heels. They knew to wait for her to be old enough to sing a song like “Pyramid” and it has paid off.

    And yes, they respect Charice’s talent enough to let her be a solo star, the kind who won’t need a partner or love interest, who need not be part of a smorgasbord of singers in a variety show. America has respected Charice enough to let her be herself, whatever version of it is there, who is always overwhelmed, always thankful, complete with limited English skills to what is now distinctly an American accented English distinct to Pinoys. Yes, she ain’t perfect in our eyes, and she ain’t as pretty as those Fil-Ams who are sort of making it in the US, isn’t as tall as the beauty queens we celebrate.

    But Charice in fact outdoes all those images of the Filipino that we don’t mind claiming. She outdoes them, because she has outdone us, an audience that thinks itself intelligent, but fails at taking stock of what’s here and now, and apparently in the future, which can only be a life of international stardom for this little girl who could. Now, anything less than an appreciation of Charice’s achievements and talent, regardless of her English and outfits, just sounds like crab mentality. And that is our problem, educated as we come

  20. paano ng tampo si charice sa abs-cbn ang avenue kung saan sya nakita, ni walang lugal at puwang ang taga gma sa kasikatan nya, puro pintas lng ang alam ng taga gma sa mga talents ng abs-cbn, kinakarma sila, ni hindi tinatangkilik mga talents nila

  21. we love you charice sobrang proud kami sa yo. keep your feet on the ground. nakaka more than 30 million na ang viewers sa youtube PYRAMID. galing mo talaga idol.

  22. nice one charice!!!

  23. wala naman naninira kay charice eh, ikaw lang nanghuhusga sa gma7. kung tutuusin nga may tampo cya sa abscba dahil imbes na cya ang nanalo si makisig ang pinili nila, kabaduy talaga mamili ng mananalo. eh ngan sikat na cya, pahiya ngaun ang abscbn! bulok kasi, at sirang sira na!

  24. we are very proud of u charice.. u’r a certified star! mga naninira sayo ay ung mga fans ng mga di sikat sa kanguso tv station na naiinggit kasi walang kinang mga stars nila…at baduy pa! go charice! ang dami mong fans sa buong mundo!
