Who is Charlene? Her great-grandpa was the former mayor of Bamban, a lawyer named Marcelo Sibal, Sr. She is the daughter of Engr. and Mrs. Cesar Bregaudit. We could go on and on about her illustrious ancestors of which she has a lot. However, let us focus our binocs on that wisp of a girl, Charlene. Don't miss her photos, too. Let's get on with our interview.

Bambanense Staff: What is your full name, nickname, name/s that they call you at home.

Charlene: Charlene Anne Bregaudit (I don't really have nicknames from home but
my friends call me Char, Char Char or Charmander after the cute little Pokemon)

Bambanense Staff: Your astrological sign?

Charlene: Born under the sign Cancer.

Bambanense Staff: What grade school did you go to? What do you do when you hang out with your friends?

Charlene: I went to St. Genevieve Elementary School in Panorama City from kindergarten to 8th grade. Long time, I know :) I don't remember having best friends but I would hang out with a bunch of people at the mall.That's all we could do at that age. Then of course we'd go to each other's houses and play video games. Although I do remember playing a lot of "tag" during recess.

Bambanense Staff: Where did you study high school? Did you belong to any school
club, sorority? What are the things you love to do during this time?

Charlene: I went to Chatsworth High School for my first three years, and then I moved my senior year to Valencia High school. Most of my activities were done at Chatsworth High. I played tennis, was a member of the Flag Team freshman year, and joined the Key Club and Drill Team my sophomore and junior year. Parades and competitions were always a blast! At Valencia High, I joined Drama class and that is where I came to love acting and entertaining.

Bambanense Staff: What are you studying in college? What year are you in?

Charlene: I am in my second year at College of the Canyons in Valencia, CA. I will be transferring to a university in a year. From there, I will continue to pursue my Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering.

Bambanense Staff: Any favorite subject and activities in college?

Charlene: I haven't had much time for activities other than the occasional modeling and acting jobs I book. My favorite subject used to be math until I reached Calculus. I love Geometry and Trigonometry. Now my favorites were the acting and dance classes I took, but no longer have time for.

Bambanense Staff: Do you sing? What kind of songs-- ballads, pop, jazz, country?

Charlene: Unfortunately I was not blessed with the gift of song, but I was blessed with the gift of rhythm. I can't sing, but I can dance (ballet, jazz, some ballroom) Although, I do sing in the shower sometimes, but I'm not sure if that counts :)

Bambanense Staff: Can you name any famous artist/performer that you look up to? He or she can be in the world of entertainment, media, history, business, etc. (e.g.Tyra Banks, Beyonce Knowles, etc.)

Charlene: I absolutely love Audrey Hepburn. She symbolizes three important things: beauty, grace, and elegance.

Bambanense Staff: What are your hopes and dreams for the future about a career?

Charlene: All I want is to be successful, have a nice home, have a close circle of family and friends I can rely on, and have a good and prosperous life. How I'll get there, modeling or engineering, I'm not sure.

Bambanense Staff: What are your ideas for an ideal man?

Charlene: HAHAHA (^_^) no, but seriously.. I'm pretty tall so I do have a minimum height requirement: he must be at least one inch taller than me when I wear heels. :P Then there's also that fact that he should be intelligent, street smart, funny, not too skinny but not too muscular, he must have goals, and should be able to care for me and a family when I need him to (not that I won't be able to take care of myself) I consider myself a lady so it's only natural that I'm looking for a gentleman. Good manners are a great quality as well.
Hope I gave you all a good laugh when you read this :) Thanks for the interview!

Bambanense Staff: We wish you the best, Charlene!
