LEA_SOLANGA

November 12, 2009
I'm fanatic about Filipino pop culture. When The Black Eyed Peas came out with "The Apl Song" and "Bebot," I blasted it from my rice burner's speakers. My heart races when Manny Pacquiao fights. I even watch TFC. (Want proof? I can dance and sing every ridiculous song/anthem/whatever Willie has paraded on Wowowee.) Late at night, my vegetarian stomach longs for dinardaraan (if you don't know what that is, it's best not to ask). I'd wear those Filipino pride shirts, if only I could find where they sell them, and if I could avoid the glares and sniggers of everyone else. Even if you're not Filipino (or trying your hardest to pass), I would definitely recommend Lea Salonga. She's won various international awards for her amazing voice, and she's also graced the stages of Broadway. If that's not enough for you, get this—she's freaking Jasmine's (Aladdin) and Fa Mulan's (Mulan) singing voice. Yeah, you know you're a big deal when you're singing on Disney films. www.mauiarts.org
