dan d. maybe they have percentage of Filipino blood but most of their soul and heart belongs to the place where they grew up and where they are currently living. what i find disturbing is, the kids living in the Philippines almost their whole life and yet they're using english as their first language dba. 😥
happy love Just observe other Asian(Chinese, Japanese or Korean) Hollywood actors. Almost all of them speak their Asian languages. I have encountered different Asian people here in the UK that are half Asians or grew up here but full blooded Asians. All of them speak both English and their Asian language. In the Philippines, I doubt that they don't use tagalog at all(for those you have mentioned that English is their first language). They are just pretentious and want to seem like they belong to the upper class but behind closed doors they still speak tagalog. When I was a kid, I was assigned to a Filipina paediatrician. She said she moved here in the UK from the Philippines when she was 17 years old. She then said that she can "only understand" tagalog but "not speak" it. That is saying a lot about Filipinos and their love of their own country/language.
Kimber Ann yeah I think that is a bit sad on your grandfather's part(no disrespect). Maybe he just doesn't want his children to feel like they're outsiders. I'm so glad that you decided to do something to at least have a connection to our culture.
dan d. actually, Vanessa does speak tagalog but only few words. There was an interview where she speak tagalog. I forgot what was the interview all about but it was years ago
She is half Asian and Hollywood let her portray as a Latina. Gotta love Hollywood and their misrepresentation of culture's. Especially when it comes to Asians.
I’m glad she is claiming her Mom and being half Filipino 🇵🇭. I’ve seen many of her older interviews and she does not proudly say it or just avoids it entirely. I’m half and I don’t let people forget it 😆 and can also pass a looking Spanish and have awesome curly hair. I’m Filipino-British-Irish ❤️
brumbrum987654321 Because some of the Filipinos have spanish blood in them, since the Spaniards colonized them on the 1500's. Many filipinos are half spaniards, half american, half japanese and half chinese
before you say yo are proud. let her(vanessa) say that first! she cant even say that she is proud to her filipina root unlike other fil-am ceb. like appledeap,nicole and enrique iglesias they say in the interview they're proud to be part of filipino.
*But there's this time that she denied she was part filipino* And many filipino got disappointed *I guess she never liked it. That's why they didn't talked about it that much* p.s that is why I like Nichole Scherzinger more coz despite the hard past with her father. She still love filipinos ❤️
@@anonnymouz6826 nope not all, everytime someone ask me I keep telling the the truth. And even my other relatives that half half they are proud of being half Filipino.
Immortal Firefly06 you're too young not to know that. She said she was from batangas and likes to play with her filipino cousins. She can also speak tagalog. She said all these when she visited Philippines long time ago
@@anonymousii5595 lol i've been watching "highschool musical" during my teenage years actually been fan of it and honestly during those days i never would have thought she's half filipina until i read it in a news paper, way back 2009 there's not much social media, you tube just started google won't operate without a phone with it ,you know what i mean😉😂
