Proud to be PINOY!

11 years old British- Filipino jazz prodigy amazed the toughie Simon Cowell and vowed by the audience on UK’s reality contest “Britain’s Got Talent”. Simon Cowell who was well known of his tough and devil words has speak word of praises “I think you are a little star” and was trilled of the kid’s wonderful performance after he sang “Summer Wind”
Born of a British father Roger Philip Green and a Filipino mother Cecile Sumargo- Green,who is a native of Dumanjog, Cebu, Charlie Green is a genuine Filipino at heart. He loves Filipino dishes like mongo, pansit canton, fried lumpia and bulalo and he also eat rice.
Despite the fact that he grows up in Britain and was exposed to Western cultures, Charlie still acted like a true Filipino. He is an avid of Filipino Athletes especially of Manny Paquiao. He was also fond of saying “Po” and “Opo” and mentions those words occasionally since he is not yet fluent of the Filipino language.
This is Charlie’s fourth time visit in the Philippines. He was brought by her mom the other year in her native land in Dumanjog, Cebu, in Bohol and Leyte where he also experience the beauty of the country’s wonderful beaches.
They also accept ABS-CBN’s offer for his TV appearances since its still school vacation in Britain. He appeared in the networks TV Programs like Boy & Kris, The Buzz, Pinoy Dream Academy, Uberture, Sharon and Wowowee.
He also performed at the Royal Opera House three years ago and was able to met Princess Ann which is another highlight of his young career.
But despite the fact that Charlie will have several offer and can cut a record here, his parents will still prioritize his studies. But not putting an end to her words, Mrs. Green exclaim that they can’t really never tell what will happen but they still wanted their son to finish his education for at least he could still stand if his career will not be successful.
Britain government is strict in requiring kids to finish school unlike in the Philippines where young celebrities can just drop out in their class to concentrate in their career.
Charlie is still adjusting with the attention he got from his fans especially those who punching in his chicks. He doesn’t mind at all the hugging of her fans and still manage to play soccer with his friends. But his parents make it sure that he is grounded.
