[silverstarry]

Follow up to this post.

To celebrate Filipino History Month, I put together a list of Filipina actresses, musicians, and other celebs. There are far fewer surprises on this list than the previous one (the roller coaster of Enrique Iglesias is a tough act to follow). Let's celebrate these talented Filipinas!

Nice to know her TV mom is also Filipina. It made me so happy when the show finally confirmed Emily as Filipina too.
