As Cynthia Erivo was on stage at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater (FL), a fan called out saying, “I love you, Cynthia!”

This led to a warm exchange where the ‘Wicked’ star asked, “What is this beautiful accent darling?” ��

“I’m Filipino,” the fan replied.

“What do we speak? Tagalog, is that what we speak?”

The ecstatic fan posted the moment on TikTok saying, “I will literally cherish this interaction my whole life Cynthia Erivo 🥺❤️ Waited for this moment since 2016.”

In an interview last year, Cynthia said she has never been to the Philippines but would really like to go. She went on to agree with her co-star, Ariana Grande, that “Filipinos are the best singers in the world.”

After being eliminated from America’s Got Talent 20 years ago, Jessica Sanchez, who is of Filipino and Mexican descent, is back and better than ever for the show’s 20th season.

It’s been a long journey for Jessica. After competing on the first season of America’s Got Talent, Jessica went on to compete on the 11th season of American Idol where she finished as the runner-up.

"Throughout the years, I kind of fell out of love of music because I was really young and I was so swayed by what everybody wanted me to be, who they wanted me to be, and so maybe it took me 20 years, but I know exactly who I am. I know exactly what I want. I'm excited to be back," Jessica explained.

Jessica also shared with the judges that she is now married and she recently found out that she’s expecting her first child.

For her audition, Jessica sang “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone. Watch her soaring rendition that earned her a standing ovation from the crowd and a Golden Buzzer from judge Sofia Vergara. This means Jessica will be guaranteed a spot in the live show.

‘Rush Hour’ starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker came out 27 years ago. The scene that everyone undoubtedly remembers is when Soo Yung (played by Julia Hsu) is in the car singing Mariah Carey’s song, “Fantasy.”

In a recent interview with Smooth Radio’s Angie Greaves, Mariah was asked what that moment meant to her.

“That’s still a moment for me. I love it,” Mariah said. “How can you turn away from that? She’s adorable!”

I love how we’re still talking about Soo Yung nearly three decades later!

A Filipino bride and groom were determined to continue with their wedding day, despite the flooding of their wedding venue, the Barasoain Church in Malolos, in the province of Bulacan.

Together, Jade Rick Verdillo and Jamaica Aguilar decided to push through the storm that caused the flood, simply seeing it as part of their life’s journey.

“We just mustered enough courage,” the groom said via AP. “We decided today because it is a sacrifice in itself. But there will more sacrifices if we don’t push through today.”

“I feel that challenges won’t be over. It’s just a test,” the groom continued. “This is just one of the struggles that we’ve overcome.”

♥️ Congrats to the beautiful couple! May you continue to persevere against all of life’s obstacles.
