correction: I think you should add her DNA test results. She posted them on her Twitter here: https://twitter.com/MelanieIglesias/status/770693764507545600
It should be Puerto Rican (including Spanish, African, and Native American), Italian and Filipino.
Or remove the Filipino part and add West Asian instead.
Cantafio is an Italian surname from Calabria.
