text: The Philippines loooooves their foreigners. A lot of their leading actors are half Filipino/half white artists who were born outside the country and flew back to capitalize on their European looks. I don't know how much has changed since I left the country in 2005, but Koreans were doing really well in Philippine media too. Heck, I'm pretty sure they've only sent one full-blooded Filipino to compete in Miss Universe since 2015.
