i love to watch your show,you are the kind of person to light up a crowd. thanks for giving me the chance to know you. i'm also born in 1958 and i hope to keep on keeping, thanks, anna

Hi Ellen thank you very much for introducing Filipino talents in your show. We really love to sing, dance and rap. There is a lot more. Try watching ASAP 09 at TFC. I can recommend Christian Bautista who is hot in Indonesia as well as Bugoy Drillon who is Boyz to Men sounds like. We really got a lot of talents in the Philippines. Maybe you should visit us here in the Philippines and watch ASAP 09 live and see for yourself. By the way I like your sense of humor and we enjoyes your show so much. Thanks for making us happy. Hope to see you here in the Philippines and discover more our talents. More power and God Bless you and your staff.

Hi Ellen!

I really love your show, it is very entertaining to watch after a long day of work. There is never a dull moment watching your show. It is rewarding for myself to see your show everyday in the TV especially when you dance.

Thank you for having Rhap Salazar in your show. You give opportunity for those people who have talents especially for us Filipinos. I am hoping you can visit Philippines and see the beautiful beaches here.

Godbless Ellen!


Thank you for having Rhap in your show, Ellen.

You are such a great person who is true to yourself. Thank you for having REAL people in your show.

There are so many great talent in the Philippines and it was only 10 years ago when I was able to recapture my Philippine heritage as I grew up in Canada (arrived in Canada in 1975 when I was less than 8 years old) It is the hidden treasure in the Orient.

I am such a fan of you, your show and your values in life...more power to you...
With warm regards, Liza

Hi Ellen,

Every kind words that can describe you are already written and all of them are true... thank you so much for making Filipino talents recognized, I hope that you can visit the Philippines so that we can show our gratitude...

I prayed that God always take good care of you and your love ones...

Belated Happy Thanksgiving..

your fan,
jen from the Phillipines

I was able to get off work earlier than usual and I turned on Ellen 1st thing. I saw the story where you helped the family where the mom, her three sons and husband are having such a difficult time. To say Thank you seems inadequate. You do not have to do things for people to really like you but you (I believe) help people because you are a good person. I had a lump in my throat for that family and I just wanted to Thank you for using you influence and ability to help someone...not for your own glory or ratings but because you had an opportunity and took it. You are a funny generous loving and giving human being...I wish you continued success and happiness to you, your wife and your mama.
Many blessings.
ps I use the Covergirl...but heck my skin does not look as good as yours! :)
Sincerely,
Loretta Quintero

I was surprised to see Rhap on your show. I really didnt expect that since I've seen Raph many times before only on YouTube and he's an amazing singer. He deserves to be on yhour show and I understand he's only 12 years old and for him to sing on a big show like yours can give anyone the jitters. He did well and he has a very bright future.

thank you sooo much for being kind to us filipinos .... try to watch in you tube the sunday show of abs-cbn the title is ASAP .. there you will see that filipinos are really beautiful , talented singers and dancers ...thanks again

Hello MS. Ellen!

I am a fan of your show here in the Philippines and I always watch your delayed telecast show here in the Philippines at 12mn here, can't help but dance with you when you dance, once my husband woke up and when I turn around seeing him I was surprised and was scared, he is watching me all along,hehehe...oh well when friday here my daughter Margareth 4 years old stay with me while we watch you and both of us dance along with you, we love you for being such a person with good spirit and good heart, you always seems ready to help and we are glad Filipinos for helping us out in helping our Filipino talents, there are so many here and really thank you for Charisse and Ralph, you see Filipino's has great boxers,Manny Paquiao singers, Charisse and Ralph and mom and daughter who can dance like us, hehehe, please can you atleast greet us, Margareth my daughter will be very thrilled when she heard her name, we no longer dreaming of coming into your show because we can't afford that so your simple hello and greeting us in your show will be much appreciated. For the first time, there is someone like YOU who notice Filipino has great talents not just us being a house maids(even them, don't realized how maids help them make their lives much better) but you uplift Filipinos in showcasing their talents...thank you very much my dear ELLEN! God bless you and your show...I know you are one of God's angels here on earth...we love you!!! Best wishes to you and your wife!!!

Im a filipino too but i dont have that kind of talent. how can i come to your show?

Hi Ellen :)
What can I say... You are "one of a kind"! You make me smile! :) And with all the hardships today, your awesome energy, and unique personality is the"fun" medicine we can take every day!! I haven't had the easiest life... but I press on....currently, my battle has been with gophers literally "eating me out of house and mobile home"! They've taken up residence under my mobile home, and I've tried everything from chili powder to vinegar, to force them to move out! But, to no avail... so, I've started yelling and stomping on the floors to try and make them "stop", and have had to just consider them "unwanted neighbors" that live below me!! If you have any miracle remedies, I'd love to know! My Dad left this mobile home to me after he passed, which is the last place we spent time together, but really... how do you "evict" gophers before they take over? (I have a pic of one sitting on the front step that I would like to show you!) And, I also wanted to enter your contest, but I don't have my cell phone anymore because my puppy chewed it up! O-well, I still love my "Cookie" anyway!! Thanks for giving me an hour of happy medicine Ellen! You're the best, can't wait to see you on American Idol... You go girl!!!!! :) Pam

Hi from Perth Western Australia due to changes in my work situation I now get to watch your show most days and can say I'm such a big fan now so uplifting to see people having fun you go girl . I've just recently had my 3rd spine operation so please be careful and hope you feel better real soon

Hi Ellen, i am a regular viewer of your show. Everyday after work when i go home right away i go sit in my bed and watch your show. I want to thank you for featuring some filipino talented kids. First it was Charice now it's Ralph, well just to let you know there are more kids who can really sing and belt out a song that you would even believe how young they are. And one of this is KRIS ANGELICA DELA CRUZ, please go search for her in Youtube singing THERE IS A WINNER IN YOU. You will be blown away with the talent of this little girl and she is only 10 yrs old. As far as i know she and Charice had the same vocal couch, no wonder she is also good. Another one is JUDE MATTHEW. Please find some time to search for these two talented kids and you will not be disappointed. I dont even know them but i was so blown away with their talents. Thank you again for having filipino talents in your show. More power and YOU ROCK ELLEN!!!

Hi Ellen,
I loved his voice it was fantastic. He really knows his music. I am so glad that you had him on the show to sing.

Hi Ellen,

Thanks for having Ralph Salazar on your show, there are just so many young talented singers in the Philippines just like Charice who first debuted on your show. Look where she is right now? Have you tried searching for 9 year old Philip Nadela? Thank you Ellen for giving these kids the opportunity to live their dreams. I really love your show especially when you feature children. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The law of love could be best understood and learned through little children"

Hey Ellen!

From the Philippines here! :)
We are REALLY proud of that little kid. He's got a very powerful, yet sweet voice.
Thanks for having him! Are you now fond of little kids with big talents? I am too!
Hope to see more talents at your show. God bless!

I watched the young man, Mr. Salazar ! Oh my.. what a beautiful voice. It touched me and brought tears to my eyes ! It was such a wonderful thing to watch.. I can only imagine how it was to be there and hear in person!

I love it when I see Oprah laughing and I love it when you make us laugh. Thank you also for showcasing Filipino talents on your show. You are very kind in helping others. I hope my husband and I can see you in person before we traveled back home to the Philippines. Take care and God Bless!
