Filipino teens are always expected as the next business moguls, top celebrities of fame and glamour, and greatest leaders of the Philippines and even the whole world. And as Jose Rizal said, Filipino teens are the hope of the nation. Yes, these are true, if we can make it happen.
With over millions of teenagers living across the world, some of them are Filipinos. Filipinos are said to be as a person like no other. Yes, we are unique. And Filipino teens are indeed unique from other teens around the world. And the advent of making noises of Filipino teens across the world is here.

Kelv,
These teens have shown a lot of positive impact to your generation. Other than becoming household names, a lot of kids would want to be like them. For one, Charice is loved by everyone old and young alike. Francis Casey and Wesley are in a different league but equally talented in their fields.
I guess the common denominator is determination and passion for what you truly believe in. Love what you do first, then others will love you second. That’s when fame steps in, I think. he he he.
For all you know you may be the dark horse in the search for the emerging influential bloggers of 2009, right?

I used to watched korean variety shows and nung time na di pa nanewnews yang pag guest ni Charice sa SBS Star King (korean variety show)… I forgot the year na, I think that was 2007 pa. Grabe, goosebumps ever. Kasi standing obation talaga ung nakuha nya from Korean celebrities, syempre pa nya kasi dangggg! nakasama nya ung Super Junior, SNSD, and other bigatin Kpop artists.
