So her mother is of Filipino descent, and the French-Canadian presumably comes from her paternal grandmother.
Mother’s maiden name is Villena.
Paternal grandparents are Thomas Berelc and Christine.
Thomas’ parents were John Michael Berelc and Dorothy Clara Schrank.

John’s parents were Slovenian, Dorothy’s were German.
I think she’s also Slovenian. Berelc family from Milwaukee is from Yugoslavia.
