MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) – It was initially reported that the country’s very own international singing sensation Charice would be part of the second season of hit American musical television series, “Glee,” but the young singer immediately issued a denial.

Weeks later, however, the 18-year-old pint-sized singer posted on her Twitter account an announcement confirming earlier reports.

Based on the account of Raquel Pempengco, Charice’s mom, the audition happened right after the rumors came out.

"Noong kumalat ang news about Glee pati ang mga taga-Glee na-alert. Kaya 'yon pinatawag si Charice at pinag-audition kasi biglang dami ng news sa Hollywood tungkol kay Charice na sasama sa Glee," Pempengco told abs-cbnNEWS.com

"Natuwa naman sa kanya at sinabing magaling siyang kumanta. Ayokong maglabas ng ibang detalye kasi confidential kaya pasensiya na muna," the mother added.

Citing its reliable source, ABS-CBN’s Balitang America reported that Charice was scheduled to audition for “Glee” in New York, but it was supposed to be strictly confidential. The source was worried the leak in the Philippines may have ruined Charice’s chances to be on the show, it further reported.

But Pempengco maintained that their camp never lied. "Hindi nagsisinungaling si Charice kasi hindi namin alam noong time na 'yan, noong kumalat yan ay nagulat ako. Nagulat ako kasi hindi pa namin ginagawa ay kumalat na.”

“Bakit naman magsisinungaling si Charice? Lahat naman yan kung di mo hawak ang kontrata ay wala pa talagang kasiguraduhan. Basta kami hindi dapat naglalabas ng isyu na hindi ka sigurado. Wala akong masasabi. Basta ang masasabi ko lang, ayoko ng magsabi na sa ibang tao," she added.

Instead of criticizing her, she appealed to Charice's detractors to be happy for her success.

"Second season lang siya. Hindi naman siya pangkalahatan… Dapat maging proud ang lahat kasi ang iba nagta-try makapasok, pero siya nakapasok. Nabigyan ng pagkakataon," she said.

Charice will play the role of a foreign exchange student whose killer vocals get lead star Rachel contemplating murder. The pint-sized singer will start taping for the series next month

"Glee" is an hour-long comedy series that follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to reignite his passion while working with a group of outcasts to revive the fortunes of the school's glee club.

 Charice still on cloud nine

In a separate interview, Charice said she never expected that she would land a role in the hit TV series. She said she was shocked when she heard the good news.

“Hindi nga po ako makatulog noong isang araw…. hindi po kami nag-expect na makakapasa ako kaya nagulat na lang po ako na nilabas po ng ‘Glee’ na ‘yon nga po kasama na po ako,” she said.

“Lumabas sa Fox na kasama ako sa ‘Glee,’ nasa Yahoo page ako, kung saang saang mga billboard po nilabas din. So, parang sabi ko, ‘Grabe, ganito pala kalaki ‘yong [show], ganoon po talaga ka-big deal sa kanila like kapag may new artist na mapasama [ia-announce nila],” she added.

The “Pyramid” singer, who used to perform ballad songs, is also looking forward to singing old songs for the show. When asked about her role, she, however, declined to give any detail.
