They added a big picture of Jessica Sanchez in the mural? Where's Charice's picture. Charice accomplished so much and she is pure Filipina... born and raised in the Philippines and an accomplished artist. Jessica Sanchez hasn't accomplished yet. Perhaps she'll win the voting contest in American Idol but so what?
