[sacmarcela]

Thanks Vanessa I'm sure what you are doing will make Philippines tourists spot be more recognized and that it will be a big help to our economy and ordinary Filipinos or specially the poor will benefit from it I just wonder what is her father original descent because vannesa don't look white American but rather Italian or Latin American?

[MsPinkCrusader]

Now she is out and proud of being a Filipino... yet years ago, she never acknowledge it

[renrenmuring]

Wow exciting si paul soriano magdidirek ng docu ni vanessa.🤩🥰

[shalmamonib]

Vanessa Hudgens movie Philippines watching movie

[benp]

She's in the Philippines now, enjoying El Nido and Coron Palawan Philippines

[Rivan]

Filipinos have different heritages too, some are spanish, some chinese, some arabs, etc, etc.

[rossie]

She's mixed. ..that's why she's beautiful .

[ANA.sees.the.World]

Paul Soriano???? I can’t wait to see this film! Direk Paul is amazing!

[addye.]

My question is…she’s been in Hollywood movies for many years…why is she only bringing attention to her Filipino heritage now? She’s never talked publicly about being Filipino or visiting Philippines or showcased anything relating to being Filipino on her social media platforms. I always thought she was embarrassed to be honest. Oh well, I guess it’s better late than never. Hopefully she embraces her heritage after her time in the Philippines

[MsPinkCrusader]

So now Hollywood embraces Asian inclusiviti-- so Vanessa is finally being out and proud being Filipino... well I remember she would not being acknowledge being Filipino

[MsPinkCrusader]

I still remember-- she looks like a Filipina but she NEVER EVER BEEN A PROUD FILIPINA. SHE IS EVEN LOOKED EMBARASSED BEING ASKED ABOUT IT.
Now Asian inclusivity is in, now she wants to embrace it...

[CarlBayabaya]

Everybody's telling she used to not being proud to be a filipino, but she actually has many hollywood interviews telling that she's proud, she also love filipino foods(but not balut 😂) it's just that philippine media's not exposing those interviews, don't know why

[MsPinkCrusader]

Honest ako when I say--never naman naging proud na Pinay si Vanessa Hudgens.. ngayon lang yan dahil meron na uso na Asian diversity sa Hollywood kaya gusto sakyan para sumikat ulit.
Buti pa si superstar Bruno Mars-- I am Filipino prinoclaim pa niya sa sikat na SNL show sa US. Pero si Vanessa? Ewan lang. Gamitan yarn lang.

[jumawan]

Diba sabi nia dati my dugo sya chinise instead of a pilipino.

[journey]

laos na kase 😂 kaya ineexplore na filipino roots. if it wasnt for the project offered she wouldnt even bother haha. its her first time to come here in the philippines yet has been recognised as someone to represent the country. what does she know aside eating adobo lmao. could be better is Ms Sandara Park represents as ambassador.
