Manila, Philippines – CHARICE Pempengco expressed excitement over her new role as judge in “X Factor Philippines.” Charice is said to be the only female judge on board the said ABS-CBN talent search show, a cut from “X Factor” created by Simon Cowell and originated in the UK.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, the 19-year-old singer vows to be an “honest” judge throughout the show.
Being a judge in “X Factor” is like bringing Charice back to where she started. In 2005, when she was just 12 years old, Charice finished third place in ABS-CBN’s singing search “Little Big Star,“ where Sam Concepcion emerged as winner. (Bulletin Entertainment Online)
