Pinoy gets big break in Miss World Ball
11/15/2011
LONDON – A Filipino boy drew a lot of admiration for his talent in singing during the charity ball of the recently concluded Miss World pageant.
Clark Gamul was invited to the United Kingdom for a charity performance in front of beauty queens and VIPs at the Miss World.
Everyone at the charity ball admired Gamul’s singing prowess when he sang “We Are The World” and “Paraiso”.
After the performance, Gamul allegedly received several invitations in London, South Korea, New Zealand and South Africa for him to sing.
Gamul’s singing talent is slowly propelling him closer to becoming a rising star. But this Filipino boy is not going anywhere without his family.
The Gamuls came from a simple but poor life in Cubao, Quezon City. But the family never thought that their son’s voice would take him around the word.
“Five years old po na-discover po ako ng papa ko na may boses po ako kaya tini-train niya po ako, tapos yun na nga po, kumakanta na po ako, minsan sa palengke po,” the boy said.
From the market, Gamul’s talent has been seen in Malaysia and Thailand. His talent was also the key that brought his family out of the informal settlers’ community.
His father, Ermelito Gamul, who once worked as a tricycle driver, is so proud of his son.
“Sobrang tuwa ko po sa nangyari kasi hindi po namin inasahan na darating po sa ganitong punto," said the boy’s father.
Gamul is also the Child Ambassador of the Hope for Children, the fundraising initiative of his sponsor.
“Nag-volunteer kami na tulungan siya para mabago ang kanilang buhay at ma-develop ang kanyang gift of singing," said Gamul’s sponsor, Pastor Art Medina.
He promised to further hone his talent to give joy to many people through his music. Report from Patrick Camara Ropeta, ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau
