I was surfin the net right then i ran up to this interview between Brandon Vera (MMA fighter) and some interviewer in the Philippines lolz. One of the question was this.

ps. just in case u guys r interested in reading the whole interview

don't worry -- they're Filipino. If Margaret Cho is Korean, then those Flips are Flips.

Hmm, yes to Trias, but Brian? I thought he was filipino-american...

Filipino wannabes? i thought it was Filipinos who like to claim otherwise.

Ye they only claim to be filipinos when theres big bucks and limelight attached to it..

I dont know if claiming to be Filipino is a good way of getting rich... Viloria is a Fil-Am, both parents Pinoy... He's a champ so I don't care that he was born in Hawaii. They're not wanabes if they truly have Filipno blood...
Enrique Eglesias??

That Trias b!tch now wants to be a Filipina

Filipino Wanabes should be people with no Filipino blood at all -- claiming Filipino ancestry or ethnicity. Not Filipinos born in other countries, or are half Filipino.

That's true!

What about filipinos who didnt consider themselves as filipinos prior to their big break, but worst considered themselves to be hawaiians for instance . Do you still consider them "true" filipinos? for me, that makes them filipino wanabes eventhough they are pinoyz. lolz the higher level of word "wanabe" i guess

Are you reffering to Jasmine?

exactly

Lolz i dont even know if Jasmine has filipino blood in her .. is she full filipina, half hawaian or what..
Cos these people knows that when they have the full support of filipinos, its 100%
Oh yea as for Viloria as a champ, he lost his belt to some mexican.. dem it! dont worry we still have alot of real pinoy champs

this was brandon vera's response.



he has a similar background to vanessa minillo

Dude when I was in Hawaii....her CD was selling in the Dole Plantation Souvenier Store along with POlynesian singer CDs. And I think she is trying to sell herself as a polynesian...since that didn't work she is now filipina....LOSER

LOL I wouldn't mind if she considered herself hawiian now...cuz she is FUGLY

for real....im half filipino...jerk lol

it wasn't jasmine's idea to tell everybody she's hawaiian, it's was the records exec's. understand the factor's behind it.

Thats hard to believe...Jasmine probably had some say in it.

Why would her CD be selling under Polynesian Music then in Hawaii???

because they are local singers and brian viloria was born in the philippines. I found the article it says he was born in hawaii but move to philippines at six months old.

Brian Villoria is okay...he wasn't the once claiming to be hawiian.

NOt just local singers...it was speciffacly for Polynesian singers....cuz they were also selling Tahitan, Tongan, Samoan and Maori music too.

Jasmine Trias 5 years ago...before the sex change

Whatever happened to her anway...

don't even fu-k with Braddah Iz. He's a talented musician. rip to him.

ejay, not all filipinos in Hawaii are "wannabe Hawaiians". also alot of people outside of Hawaii call people from Hawaii, "Hawaiians"...in Hawaii if you said "Hawaiian" you'd get your face slapped if you don't have Native blood.

lololol pps is ejay???

^^^who's ejay????




jeez I was just joking...I saw his pic. everywhere in Hawaii...is he like the Tom Cruise of Hawaii or something??

LOL didn't know he was dead...sorry

who's ejay? mwahahaha yeah right ^

I am not here to defend Jasmine Trias or Brian Villoria, but why do people call Jasmine Trias and Brian Villoria, wannabe Filipinos? IMHO, they are Filipinos, Jasmine Trias' great-grandfather is General Mariano Trias who fought against the Americans during the Philippine-American War. (The town of General Trias in Cavite is named in his honor). Jasmine's parents are both Filipinos. Brian Villoria might be born in Hawaii but her parents are both Filipino. So this makes him Filipino, and he's proud of it (and also a very proud Ilocano). He may have represented the United States during the Sydney 2000 Olympic games, but who cares, a lot of Filipinos represented other countries in any international events, but they still consider themselves Filipinos.

At least Jasmine and Brian embrace their Filipino heritage, unlike other Filipinos who doesn't know anything about the Philippines, or doesn't even know what the word "Taglish" mean. Take Camille Velasco, for example, she was born in Manila, but grew up in Hawaii, she said doesn't speak Tagalog, and when a reporter from the Philippines asked her if she speak Taglish, she replied, "What's that?"

Camille Velasco and Jasmine Trias are both from Hawaii, and the American Idol producers introduced them as from Hawaii, the non-Filipinos think they are Hawaiians. Even my co-workers think them as Hawaiians. However, the Filipinos in the states knew them as Filipinos, that's why they got supported by the Filipino community all over the states. Well, not all Filipinos in the states supported them dahil umiral na naman ang crab mentality nila.

Examples of wanna be Filipinos are Alex Compton and Larry Marshalls, (no disrespect to them) Alex Compton was born in the Philippines (her both parents are 100% Americans) but he grew up in the states, now he's back in the Philippines to try his luck in the PBA, however under PBA Constitution, a player who is allowed to play in the PBA as local must have Filipino in him (i.e at least one parent is Filipino). He has been denied many times because he is not a Filipino, but Compton is still hoping that he could play in the PBA as local.

Larry Marshall, on the other hand, is a former U.S. Marine who is now living in the Philippines and a singer. He had already release an album, (forgot the name of the album). They nicknamed him, KKPP or Katawang Kano Pusong Pinoy.

Actually, ang napupuna ko dito sa mga ibang posters ay umiiral na naman ang Crab Mentality nila....This is what typical Filipinos good at.

Asi Taulava

he looks samoan or tongan lol..

he's half tongan half filipino. he grew up in the philippines. his wife is filipino. he is filipino. word

I read somewhere Vanessa Millino claim that she has a Polynesian mother, even though she has a Filipina mother but because her mother abandon her.

I was just gonna post that, lol.

I hated her before I knew she was part Filipino(up until 10 minutes ago) and I still hate her after knowing she's part Filipino. Talentless b!tch needs to FOAD. I hate media whores like her.

there are two kinds of citizenship.

1. jus soli = citizenship by birth place

2. jus sanguinie = citizenship acquired throug blood relation (either mother or father is filipino)

even if a person is born abroad we follow jus sanguinie, americans on the otherhand follow jus soli.

I thought that was strange for Vanessa Minnillo, but I was trying to find a pic of her mom and see if I can tell.


I think you mean nationality and ethnicity.

My point is, Jasmine Trias is an AMERICAN CITIZEN because she was born in US (jus soli = citizenship by birth place) and she is also a FILIPINO CITIZEN (jus sanguinie = citizenship acquired throug blood relation)

we have dual citizenship law.

i thought you guys were talking about that pussycat doll girl .. she still passes as indian to me ..

Well, they just want more publicity and more money in their pockets
