Oprah to manage Charice, the little Filipino singer

You'll be seeing a lot more of Filipino singing sensation Charice Pempengco. Billionaire talk show diva Oprah Winfrey has agreed to manage the career of the 16-year-old singer in the US.

Charice will remain under her local management in the Philippines, according to Nixon Sy, head of the Star Records which signed Pempengco to a recording contract.

Charice recently blew the roof off of Madison Square Garden when she performed a duet with Celine Dion singing Dion's hit "Because You Loved Me".
