He will not respond to the name Charice anymore.
Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco born May 10, 1992 also known by the stage name Charice is now Jake Zyrus, he is a Filipina singer who rose to popularity through YouTube. Dubbed by Oprah Winfrey as "the most talented girl in the world", she released her first international studio album Charice in 2010.
The transgender singer who became a worldwide pop sensation as Charice Pempengco, later shortened to simply Charice, will now be known by a new name: Jake Zyrus.
This is now the name he’s using on his social media pages following a tweet to his nearly one million followers that officially announced the name change.
The only thing that has remained unchanged is his official website, the URL of which is still charicemusic.com and still features his past work as Charice.
Although Jake has yet to confirm this, but the name change appears to have been precipitated by his breakup with his girlfriend of four years, fellow singer Alyssa Quijano, last April. With the deletion of his Instagram posts, Jake also erased his past memories with Alyssa, at least on social media.
He has yet to offer any explanation why he chose Jake Zyrus as his new name.
Transgender people are people who have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another.
