Former cleft child
Chadleen Lacdo-o (3rd from left), who is now competing in one of the
biggest musical reality television talent searches in the country, regaled
members of the media with a stirring song number and an inspiring tale of her
struggle to overcome the effects of her cleft deformity during a press briefing
held by Operation Smile Philippines to kick off its 30th anniversary
celebration in Manila. Operation Smile
repaired Chadleen’s cleft palate when she was four. She shared the center stage at yesterday’s
briefing with another cleft patient, Angel Torres (2nd from left),
who starred in the Catholic Mass Media Award winning television commercial
“Beggar.”They are joined in the photo by Operation Smile co-founders Bill and
