Jake Zyrus

Jake Zyrus was popularly known as Charice Pempengco before he went through gender reassignment surgery. He is a Filipino singer and TV personality, rising to fame when he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in 2007. This opened several international TV appearances, including on The Oprah Winfrey show. He was invited to perform in concerts of big artists like David Foster and Andrea Bocelli. In 2010, he released his first, self-titled album, Charice, which landed at the number 8 spot and became the first by an Asian solo artist.

Later on, he joined the cast of Glee. It was in 2013 that he came out as a lesbian and adopted the name Jake in 2017. He had undergone male chest reconstruction surgery and started on testosterone treatment. We hope that he had secured all the necessary insurance requirements before he took this big step.
