Then, lagi pa tayong pinagkakalito sa mga mexicano... Parang wala tayong identity sa mundong ito... Anyways, I have a few: In The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Charisse (or Clarrise, I forgot), one of the main characters' friends, was mentioned to be Filipina. Or with exotic Filipina looks, I forgot. Oh, and, SPIDAMANG! I saw that Chuck Norris movie, it was Delta Force 2. Yeah, that was shot in the Philippines, btw. It also had some old Filipino actors in it, in very small roles. Also, my mum told me about a Steven Seagal movie where there was a Filipina shopkeeper whose store gets robbed. Then she swears at the top of her lungs in Tagalog. Lolz Hey, Why wasn't The Great Raid mentioned? It was set in the Philippines (not shot here, though) during WWII. Look it up. Yeah, and in The Five People You Meet In Heaven [SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK], the Fifth Person, the dead girl, was Filipina. Some part of that book had some involvement with WWII here. In Family Guy (Love that show!), Brian, the talking dog, has a gay cousin whose boyfriend is Filipino. There's a deleted scene in that same episode where Stewie (The maniacal infant) has a conversation with the Filipino guy in Tagalog. hahahaha andaming references!! woohoo! kaya lang it’s so sad na foreigners get the wrong impression of us dahil lagi taung portrayed na maid or something.

Also, in the movie Her Alibi (heller Tom Selleck!), there was a pinay maid in there somewhere. Hugh Grant in 2 weeks notice, complimented his brother's help and said - You look like a young Imelda Marcos. She didnt look Pinoy though (the help, not Imelda). The Beach by Alex Garland mentioned Pinas-related details many times. And I read somewhere that the Pinas is Mr. Garland's favorite. Hello SUNSHINE! @#37 lestat: gago. why not?
