hi gaoefi,

thanks for the perspective, i guess whether Asian or Western culture we always have certain cliche's

for example in America, the nannies and manual laborers (gardeners) are mostly Mexicans..

but there are also professional Mexicans and even celebrities like Jennifer Lopez.

Philippines also have Hollywood celebrities like the guy from Black Eyed Peas and also the protagonist of Juce Bigolo..well they are not as famous as Jennifer Lopez though..

not sure if anyone heard about Lea Salonga of Les Misrables and Miss Saigon(she is a Filipina). She is an international stage artist and proud to be Filipino.
