@Jo:You act like you knew Poca,or is it you just hate Vanessa?
On VanessaHudgens.com it says that her mom is filipino,chinese,latina and her dad is native american and irish so she is also part latina
Filipino doesn’t mean mixed Chinese and Spanish, or carry both bloods. Filipinos were originally native on the islands of the Philippines, and look asian but are not chinese. They are a seperate race and culture.
The Spanish came and took over the island a long time ago, and when that happens, interbreeding is common. Therefore, filipinos can range from light-skin really asian-looking to darker-skinned and even completely latino-looking. Two completely different looking people can be considered filipino.
Vanessa most likely is mixed with both Filipino and Spanish because one of her ancestors (maybe her mom) was mixed with both already.
