Duff is not Fil-am where people is getting this or have heard this was her co star on lizzie mcguire Lalaine was Filipina born to Filipino parents. She was also very popular and cute.
I never knew that :) I love her show . Even though it’s old and expired eh?
She is not part Filipina, but she IS like a quarter Malaysian.
How do you figure she’s part Filipino though? I mean, what’s your source on this? I’m not saying she’s not, but it’s kind of obnoxious when a celebrity “looks mixed” the first conclusion is “Oh they’re Filipino!” -_- I’ve seen that false conclusion be reached many times only to have it disproved later. (Miranda Cosgrove and Miranda Kerr were both thought to be mixed and they’re both of just European decent)
actually her mum is filipina or half filipina
Thats not possible, why does she look the way she does? if she was at least the slightest fillipina she’s look more like vanessa hudgens. And BTW where’s the proof?
