Last Monday, September 15 our very own Charice Pempengco made us Filipinos proud once more when she sang a duet with one of her favorite international stars – no less than the diva Celine Dion who had a concert entitled “Taking Chances World Tour“. Charice sang with her idol Celine Dion latter’s hit song “Because You Loved Me“. Celine said that this girl (Charice) has a voice that can blow off the roof of Madison Square. Wow Charice surely was so proud of herself and what she has achieved so far in her singing career which has reached the international music scene and that is such an achievement for a Filipina singer who is yet so young.

This is the complete video of that said duet. Enjoy!

“This young girl’s name is Charice. I’m so excited. She’s 16 years old and she’s from the Philippines. Let me tell you she has a voice that can literally blow the roof off Madison Square. But the real story is, Charice and her mom escaped a terrifying experience and had to leave Charice’s violent father. You know, to start a life on their own, Charice vowed to save her mom from life’s desperation. Through prayers and dreams and God-given talent, an incredible voice, Charice entered and won every singing contest in her native country and eventually got noticed. By such a fortunate chance people saw the show on Oprah and Oprah wanted to take her under her wing and David Foster joined them.

“I had a chance to see Charice perform one of my songs in Oprah last week. I have a little difficulty to talk right now because I met Charice and I’m so emotional and so I’m searching and looking for my words trying to control my emotion. I invited here to come her tonight to sing with me…,” said Celine Dion.
