Raquel Pempengco is no longer hoping for Charice to come back
RAQUEL PEMPENGCO – The mother of Jake Zyrus had lost all hope of her daughter returning as Charice Pempengco.
Recently, she turned to the social media platform, Facebook wherein she responded to multiple reports suggesting that Jake was attempting to revive the Charice persona after his recent performances reportedly flopped. It’s worth noting that various columnists asserted that fans were no longer interested in watching Jake perform due to his efforts to make his voice more masculine, deviating from the familiar Charice vocal style.
According to Raquel, it’s time for fans to stop anticipating Charice’s comeback since Jake has already made his decision. “Huwag na po tayong umasa pa na babalik pa ang dating CHARICE..ako na po ang magsasabi nyan…Naniniwala po ako sa himala pero na kay Jake na ang desisyon para baguhin nya ulit sarili nya,” she stated.
The mother of Jake Zyrus even humorously suggested that if she were blessed with another child, she would nurture another Charice. “Kung papalarin po hintayin nio na lang na magkaroon ulit ako ng baby CHARICE pra idevelop ulit…hehehe kaya lang huwag umasa dahil masasaktan lang tayo lagi..Sana po Clear na sa atin lahat. Yung mga naglalabas po ng ganyang balita eh gusto lang pong dumami ang views nila…Hanggat di ninyo naririnig sa bibig mismo ni JAKE eh huwag po tayong maniniwala,” Raquel added.
As of press time, Jake has not confirmed whether he is genuinely trying to revive the ‘Charice’ voice, as some content creators claim.
