Popular Filipinos

When we talk about talents and skills, the Filipinos are not behind. Aside from local popular showbusiness, sports, and music industry, the Filipinos had also excelled and had been making waves in the international scene.

If you are familiar with the Broadway scene, Lea Salonga is a household name. She is a multi-awarded Filipino singer and actress whom we would always love as Kim in the musical Miss Saigon. She has won the Oliver, the Tony, the Drama Desk Outer Critics, and the Theater World Awards and the very first to reap numerous international awards for a single role. Lea was also the voice behind Princess Jasmine in Aladdin (1992) and Mulan for Mulan in Mulan (1998 and 2004).

In the field of sports, Manny Pacquiao, the reigning WBC International Super Featherweight Champion in the world, is the country’s “Pambansang Kamao”. A household name, Manny is well-loved by everybody that a movie about his life has already been produced.

Filipinos are natural singers. The likes of Billy Joe Crawford, Apple of Black Eyed Peas, American Idol personalities Jasmine Trias, Camille Velasco, and Ramiel Malubay, and the phenomenal 15-year-old Charice Pempingco, are just some of the Filipinos who’ve made a splash in the international scene.
