MILLIONS OF WOMEN played this leading role. Audition lines can be as long as ten blocks. Despite the long lines, many women managed to make it through the audition landing the role. This role requires a demanding and dynamic performance, willing to work on it for hours and days on end. It requires depth and flexibility to perform the role well. Yet, millions and millions of women came into this role every year. For those who do not know what it is, it is the role of a mother.

Raquel, the inspiration behind Charice. I applaud both Charice and her mom’s indomitable courage and strength. Mommy Raquel single-handedly raised Charice and her brother Carl.

“Si Mommy, mentor, tagahanda ng damit, taga-makeup. My mom’s a superwoman!”. - Charice

The 38-year-old Raquel, from whom Charice got her singing voice, advices Charice to focus on her goal. Mommy Raquel and Charice battled incredible odds to arrive where they are right now. Imagine at the age of three years old, Charice witnessed her father choke her mom then grabbed his shotgun. Fortunately, neighbors overheard their screams and broke down the door in the nick of time. Charice narrated her heartbreaking story on the September 9, 2008 episode of Oprah, then added:

"We left my dad and after that, I never saw him and I don’t want to see him. I’m just singing now for my mom. I couldn’t help her before, that’s why I want to help her now."

Charice and her Mom is indeed role model to anyone struggling and recovering from the pain of a traumatic past. I admire their determination, spunk and energy and not to mention their humility.

In the Rated K interview last year, she tells other Filipino children who are struggling:

" I’m not very different from them. That’s also the same experience that I have gone through. There will be a time when you think of giving up, because you’re tired, but don’t, if you’re really holding on to that dream. Because if that’s really your dream, and you persevere, you will surely reach it."

What a girl!

Some may attribute her success to a YouTube clip uploaded by a fan that eventually led to her guestings in popular US television shows Ellen Degeneres and Oprah. But for Charice, credits should go to her mother Raquel.

“Super po akong humahanga sa kaniya,” said Charice,

noting that although her mom was a single parent, she was able to support the needs of their children. For this, Charice lovingly dedicated her newly released second album entitled My Inspiration to her mom, in time for the upcoming Mother’s Day.

“For Mommy po ang lahat ng ito. At pati na rin po sa lahat ng mommies sa buong mundo, lahat ng mommies na naghihirap para sa anak,” -Charice

Charice told the entertainment press at the launch of her new album, which features 12 revivals including Wind Beneath My Wings and the mother-daughter duet You and Me Against the World.

The connection between mother and child is the one of the most sacred and intimate bonds one can experience.
