Charice: “My soul is male”

It’s been 6 years since Filipino singing sensation Charice Pempengco first appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, but much has changed since then. Pempengco shed her girl-next-door image and came out in 2013. She opened up to Winfrey, saying she identifies as a male but is not thinking about undergoing gender reassignment surgery. “My soul is male,” Pempengco said. “But I’m not going to change everything.” Pempengco gained fame after her videos on Youtube caught the attention of talk show hostsWinfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. Since then, she’s had a best-selling album, and a recurring role in TV show “Glee”. The episode will air Sunday, October 19 at 9pm US time (Monday, October 20 at 9am Philippine time).
