Famous Filipinos  

Definitely Jose Rizal our national hero. Hehehehe. You can see him everywhere.

Lea Salonga! You should have included her in your list. hehehe. I am a fan...

Imelda marcos is also know all over the world and a word was credited to her meaning has an obsession to shoes-imeldific.

i forgot his name but he is one of the wrestling stars...

tia carrera is a pinay.

Well, I know just a few..

Don't forget Billy Crawford who made it big in Europe!! woohoo!
Lalaine Vergara (from Lizzie Mcguire) is filipina :)
Jasmine Trias is also on the list :)

I don't hate the song Bebot but I also don't like it that much, either. Who uses the term bebot anymore, anyway?

BTW, you should also add the Marcoses for being the biggest theives in the world once.

I'm so proud to be a family. Especially with Charice Pempengco, Leah Salonga, Arnel Pineda and Apl de Ap.. Look at what Charice had done first she was just a 4th placer in LBS and then she guess at Starking one of the most popular show in korea and because of that it made her so popular in America and in U.K and she was invited to guess in Ellen Degeneres, Paul O'grady and on Oprah and now I've heard that she's one of the special guest of David Foster in his Anniversary and because of that she had a duet w/ Alicia Keys and Josh Groban!. I'm so proud for her!

Hello there Janni, I had a similar post like this a year ago. I have some shortlist and asked for other's contributions as well, it's also nice to share and know that they did have a Filipino blood as well.

Take for example Lou Diamond Phillips, Rob Schneider, WWE's Batista, Pussycat Dolls' Nichole Scherzinger, White House' executive chef Cristeta Comerford, pro dancer Cheryl Burke and many more..


Miami Heat's newly-appointed head coach, Erik Spoelstra's mother is a Filipino as well.

They are almost everywhere, from theater, to fashion industry and even on Reality shows and I am very PROUD of them..

let me include Charrise Pempengco. geee! I really love her, and she's beginning to conquer America. I really love this kind for her voice. she's very talented and she is also good in dancing. and I believe that she's kind and humble.

and I don't know her first name but she's a famous fashion designer, and the last name would be Lhuilhier, if I am not mistaken.(correct me if I am wrong.)

proud to be Filipino..iba ang galing ng pinoy!

Manny Pacquaio... He's famous! A proof is his NIKE commercial (it is international) plus He is also the first asian to have four belts in different divisions in boxing. =)

Rating famous by achievements, popularity as celeb or merely doing something that capture the eyes and ears of the humanity...Hmm my list included randomly

1. Lea Salonga - Singer, Oscar recipient
2. Manny Pacquiao - Capitan Tumba for the Mexicans
3. Rizal??? vs Andres Bonifacio, well in UP Andres Rules
4. Andrew Cunanan yeah who else can afford to do his craft?
