ONTD Original: actors, musicians, and celebrities who you might not know are Filipino

[silverstarry]

In honor of Filipino History Month, I threw together a list of male celebrities who you may not realize are Filipino. Too often, everyone gets thrown under the umbrella "Asian" so let's celebrate these Pinoys! Part 2 with female celebs will be coming soon!

I only found out because I watched The Vampire Diaries which was how I learned that he was related to Steven R. McQueen!

I only found out Enrique was Filipino because he’s related to Steve R. McQueen (who is also part Filipino)!

Great post, OP! I lived in the Philippines for six months years ago and love the country

Enrique was born with a rare congenital condition known as situs inversus, where some of the body's major organs, such as the heart, are situated on the opposite side of the body from where they would normally be located.

I had no idea this was possible wow

lovely post, op

I did, but only because of that Assassin movie that Rain (Korean singer) starred in. Naomie Harris’ character has this condition and (spoiler) survives what everyone assumes is a lethal stab to the heart bc hers is on the other side.
