Filipino singing sensation Charice made the country proud once more by bagging the Favorite Asian Act at Nickelodeon’s 25th Annual Kids’ Choice Awards
Filipino singing sensation Charice emerged as the Favorite Asian Act in the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award.

The Filipina singer reportedly garnered 6 million votes during the contest period.

"Millions of Charice's fans voted online, on mobile, on Facebook and on Twitter, showing us not only how popular she is across Asia, but also how active Nickelodeon’s audience in Asia is online. We couldn’t be happier for her or her fans, and congratulate Charice for winning the inaugural Favorite Asian Artist Awards.”
