Yes, she is Charice Pempengco and she is from the Philipines everyone.Her real name is
Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco,born May 10,1992 also known as Charice which is a
portmanteau of her first two names....
Pempengco was born in Laguna, Philippines. She and her younger brother, Carl, were raised solely by their mother, Raquel Pempengco (née Relucio), after they left their father due to domestic violence.
To help support the family, she began competing in amateur singing contests at age seven, from town fiestas in different provinces to several vocal competitions on TV. She is said to have joined almost a hundred singing contests.
In 2005, Pempengco joined Little Big Star, a talent show in the Philippines loosely patterned after American Idol. Eliminated after her first performance, she was later called back as a wildcard contender and eventually became a finalist. Although she was a consistent top scorer in the final rounds, she only finished in third place based on text voting.
Pempengco made minor appearances on local television shows and TV commercials, but essentially had fallen off the radar after her stint at Little Big Star. It was not until 2007 that Pempengco gained worldwide recognition after an avid supporter started posting a series of her jaw-dropping performance videos on YouTube under the username FalseVoice. These videos received millions of hits making Pempengco an internet phenomenon.
