CHARICE PEMPENGCO : THE NEW PHILIPPINE ICON

Judging from her first appearance in Glee, Charice Pempengco will soon become a household name all over the world. Several new characters were introduced in Season 2 of the highly popular American show. But Charice as Sunshine Corazon, for me, made the greatest impact. The new football coach in the series however will win the Emmy next year.
What is going for Charice in the series is that she is made to play the role of an underdog. People just love the underdog. But Sunshine Corazon is not the typical Filipino underdog. While she is the typical simple and gullible Filipino, she speaks with an American accent. And she has the voice that I think is the best among the cast members. The show's handlers play her scenes well to leave the viewers breathless whenever she sings. This early, the producers and directors are playing their cards right by highlighting Sunshine's talent while at the same time leaving the viewers asking for more. Sunshine is made to appear in Glee with just the right amount of exposure to sustain interest in her.
I think it's time for Manny Pacquiao to move over. Charice Pempengco is here to stay as the Philippines' best and brightest star.
