Shannyn Sossamon, she was in that movie 40 days and 40 nights, she's pretty cute. My friend (also Filipina) thinks she only has just enough Filipino in her to make her that "exotic" type. Truth be told, I really see her as a hot brunette more than anything else and was surprised to find out she was anything more than a Euro-mut.

I heard sean paul even though jamaican born his father's an argentinian and his mother is (u guessed it) filipino, as well as Rob Schneider. Obviously all these celebrities got Filipino Mothers. Mail Order Brides are one the country's biggest exports ;)

YOURE FORGETTING CHAD HUGO OF THE NEPTUNES! HE'S A FAMILY MAN, SO HE DOESNT TRAVEL. HE ACTUALLY PUT HIS FAMILY BEFORE HIS CAREER, HENCE WHY PHARRELL GETS MOST OF THE ATTENTION.

Hoy wala namang mga pilipino sa mga ito. Mga kalahati lang. Ang isang noypi ay hindi nahihiya kung ang ilong nya ay pango. Wag nating ankinin ang hindi lumingon sa kanilang pinang-galingan!!

What about Rob Schneider? He is half filipino. That is why he has so many filipino references in all his movies.
