Charice - Reaching out to her fans

In January 2011, Charice had a mini concert at Enchanted Kingdom in the province of Laguna. It was my first time to see her upclose. I took the photo below, saved it on my computer and labeled it "Reaching Out."

We usually see fans run to their idols for handshakes, autographs, and photographs. It is heartwarming, though, when the celebrities themselves go to their fans. Charice has her way of reaching out to her fans. It is evident in some videos that are uploaded on the Net. Let me cite a few of them.

March 19, 2012 - Hong Kong Infinity Tour

While singing Heartbreak Survivor, Charice went down the stage to be near her fans. The security people had to carry her so that she could go from one spot to the next. I suppose this was not planned as she did not use any stairs to go down and to go back on the stage. Check out from 1:18 mark of the video.

May 9, 2009 - David Foster and Friends, Mandalay Bay

That Hong Kong video reminded me of a DFF video. Again, her going to the audience might not be planned because she just jumped down from the stage. She also had to be lifted up to be able to go back to where David Foster was. Check out from 2:50 mark of the video.

September 28, 2013 - Power of Two, Araneta Coliseum

After singing Titanium with Aiza Seguerra, Charice bowed, waved, and shook hands with the fans. When one of those near the stage spread her arms and requested for a hug, Charice knelt down (not minding that she was wearing an all-white outfit) and let those arms wrap her for some good seconds. Before finally leaving the stage, Charice gave her a loving pat on the head. Check out from 3:48 mark of the video.

October 11, 2013 - Chapter 10 Promo Tour, Koronadal City

After singing Yakap, Charice reached out to two fans in the audience. She verbalized her concern for the safety of one of them, as if she (Charice) was in a secure position. She was even apologetic for not being able to go to those who were far from the stage. Instead of reading what happened, please watch a clip from Manette153's video below.

These are just a few of Charice's visible gestures of reaching out to her fans—her Chasters. And these are just a few of the reasons why Chasters love her.
