Pinay international singing sensation, Charice Pempengco will be one of the judges in The X Factor Philippines. This was what Bum Tenorio Jr. revealed in his Philippine Star article entitled "Meet The 'Chasters'." According to the article, Charice will be the only female judge of the Philippine franchise of Simon Cowell's The X Factor.
In his March 4 article published in the PhilStar website, Tenorio wrote:
"The only thing the AJC requested from me was to tell them stories about Charice. I obliged and regaled them with the humble and humorous side of Charice. I updated them that her movie with Salma Hayek and Kevin James titled Here Comes the Boom will be shown in October this year. I also told them that Charice would be the only female judge in the local version of the worldwide hit talent search, X Factor, on ABS-CBN. As for the resurgence of Sunshine Corazon on Glee, I said I knew something about it but my lips were sealed for the moment. And if plans push through, Charice will do the lead role in the musical film version of a Broadway musical soon. The heat is on in Charice!"
AJC means All Japan Chasters and Bum Tenorio also noted how popular Charice was in Japan. Some 'Chasters' (which include a top honcho of a multinational company and professors) would say that "Charice is my life" and "No Charice, no life."
If Charice will indeed join the X Factor Philippines as a judge/mentor, then we can assume that the line up for the judges is nearly complete. We have Martin Nievera and rumored judge Gary Valenciano. Will there be any other? Who's the 4th mentor/judge?
The X Factor Philippines will wow us sooner with the revelation of other judges that will mentor the next singing superstars. According to reports, the said reality singing search will premiere this August 2012.
