Subject: SPOT.ph’s 10 Women We Love
Content: Charice Pempengco Singer Who is she? Oprah calls her the “little girl from the Philippines with a very big voice.” It was that same voice that made her an international singing sensation after her guest appearance on Ellen in 2007. Since then she has performed with Andrea Bocelli, David Archuleta, and Celine Dion on top of several appearances in shows worldwide. Her first international single, “Pyramid,” is slowly making its way up the Billboard Charts. Why we love her: Even though she’s an international star in her own right, as Oprah put it, Charice still manages to keep her feet on the ground (though she has better shoes on). She’s also serious about her education and is currently juggling music with college . She says : “I still want to do a lot of things. I want to be a lawyer…I also want to be called a singer-songwriter.”     Eugene Domingo  Actress Who is she? She has garnered notable praise for her supporting roles in indie flicks such as 100 , Pisay , and Foster Child . She has also gained recognition playing the second-fiddle to popular comedienne Ai-Ai de las Alas. But in 2009, Eugene proved herself to be worthy of the lead role when she dominated the box office playing twins in Kimmy Dora (Kambal sa Kiyeme) . Why we love her: In an industry saturated with pretty faces and slim bodies, Eugene is a breath of fresh air. Compared to all these stars, her comedic prowess and competent acting is undeniable. She breaks the showbiz mold by just being herself, opening the door for future stars like her. She says : “ Hindi lang sarili ang iniisip mo kasi gusto mong pagbutihan dahil binigyan ka ng malaking opportunity. Iniisip mo rin ang pakiramdam ng tao sa paligid mo. Doble-doble talaga ang ine -exert mong effort. Every day, I thank the Lord for giving me this opportunity to show what I can do best.” http://www.spot.ph/2010/03/08/spotphs-10-women-we-love/4/
