NEW YORK – Filipino singing sensation Charice is back in school after enrolling in an online college in the US.

Even with her busy schedule, Charice registered for a Bachelor of Arts in Communications, an online course at the Southern New Hampshire University in Boston, Massachusetts.

The young Filipina pride worked the runway and showed off her back-to-school look at the Macy’s “End of Summer Blowout Show” last Sunday in Manhattan.

Charice’s fans applauded their idol for making school a priority.

“Really, you have to stay in school, no matter how successful this is, it could end at any time so you have to have something as back up,” Chaster Jim Lee said.

Charice also earned praises from fellow stars.

“That girl is amazing!” said Victoria Justice, star of Nickelodeon’s “Victorious”.

Another show host said, “I always say, you should never try to sing a Whitney Houston song ‘coz you can never do it better than her, but I heard her sing Whitney Houston and she does it better than her.”

A fan from Queens, New York told Balitang America, “I’m here for Charice. My son is here for BTR (Big Time Rush).”

Charice shared the stage with Nickelodeon’s popular teen heartthrobs “Big Time Rush” as well as with YouTube sensation, Josh Golden.

While the press got to interview the Nickelodeon stars, organizers said Charice was not doing any press interviews that day. Balitang America
