Pinoy Celebs get international spotlights via Hollywood projects
Filipino talent has long been breaking into the international entertainment scene, and it seems that it’s finally time for Pinoy celebrities to get their turn in that bright Hollywood spotlight.
Although Pinoys currently have music icons of Filipino descent, such as H.E.R. and Olivia Rodrigo, it’s rare to see Pinoys getting international projects over the years.
Because of this, many Filipino fans felt excited seeing Pinoy celebrities finally getting their time in the international spotlight.
Here are some of these celebrities:
First off, we have Heart Evangelista. Rumors surfaced that the Filipina actress will appear in the second season of the Netflix series, Bling Empire.
Even the Hollywood online tabloid TMZ picked up on the rumors and featured the actress entering what seems to be the set for Bling Empire with one of the stars of the series, Kane Lim.
