Thanks to C4Chaos for this tip about another phenomenal, world-class singer coming from the Philippines.

Her genre isn’t really my genre, but I can sure hear the talent.

I had a similar reaction to the videos of Arnel Pineda: What is it about seeing such a big voice come out of such a small body? And their guilelessness. Complete unpretentiousness.

Talk about mudita! Seeing Pempengco’s reaction to Ellen and the crowd, after her first performance, brought tears to my eyes.

I stand in awe.

    Thank you very much for the interest on her. She was so surprised to see how the American public accepts her performance as she said on one of her Philippines interview. And i think it only proves that she has the natural talent plus the efforts that she have been working hard to develop more and more of this gift she possese.

    And i am hoping she can go farther to this adventure. If you can see how Edith Piaf was admire by the whole world, though she has small body but with a big voice.
