Lalaine is an American actress, singer, songwriter, and bassist. She is known for playing Miranda Sanchez on the series Lizzie McGuire, and for her roles in the films Her Best Move and Royal Kill, and the made-for-tv movies Annie (1999) and You Wish!
Her parents are Filipino, from Batangas and Pampanga, respectively. She was raised in Burbank and Sherman Oaks, California.
She has said:
People ask me, ‘Are you Spanish?’… I say I have Spanish in me but I’m not just Spanish. I’m proud of my ethnicities and I will always be proud of being a Filipino.
she looks part japanese to me
i used to watch lizzie mcguire and i thought she was mexican. her filipino side must be mostly spanish with some asian. she looks mestiza but i guess it makes sense because most hispanics are spanish and native american (in the same family as asians)
Same, i thought she was a Mestizo from Mexico. She obviously has significant Spanish ancestry. I wonder how much specifically.
That’s exactly right. If you’re half Asiatic and Mediterranean you’d tend to look Mestizo.
“I say I have Spanish in me but I’m not just Spanish. I’m proud of my ethnicities and I will always be proud of being a Filipino.”
When Lalaine Vergara said that, it means she’s a Filipino but her parents or great grandparents had some Spanish blood line.
Like me, my parents are both Filipinos but both my parents have had grandparents who had a 1/4 Spanish blood. I hope this clarifies everything
What does she mean that she has spanish in her but she’s not ?
it means that this guy name philip who was from spain took over the philipines n filipinos have spanish surnames
Hahaha what he said!
