  1. Nice one, Miss Lea. May sound cliche but you truly are world class and a true filipino pride...But... just please keep your political opinion to yourself.

    1. 4:55–the fact that she’s an entertainer does not negate her right to free speech, just as you are able to spew your opinion all over the internet and I’m sure elsewhere.

    2. I agree! I like Lea Salonga sa pagkanta pero mataray sa ibang bagay.

    3. She must express her political opinions to exercise her right as a citizen as guaranteed by the constitution.

    4. Madam 4:55, I may not also agree with her political views pero it’s her basic right to express it just like yours.

    1. LOL! This is normal and natural unlike those filipino kpop fans who say "proud pinoy" only when kpop idols mention anything related to the Philippines or say mahal kita which non kpop fans like us know they don't really mean. Now THAT'S pathetic!

    1. 6:03-I beg to disagree. She is staying a fact. I’m sure if you were performing at the WH, you’d announce it too 🙄

    2. Sa true may ere nga yung dating nya. Gawin ko lang example si charice bakit nung nakapag America pagbalik dito may swag may angas pero bakas mo parin yung humility. Samantala ito si Lea may kahanginan talaga eversince.

    3. Hay naku nag post lang sya ng Gig nya mayabang na, ikaw may problema

      Delete
    4. 6:03 ipagyayabang naman. Eh ikaw?

      Delete
    5. She's just a confident woman. You are just insecure.

      Delete
    6. Keri lang may ibubuga naman talaga siya at may napatunayan na.

      Delete
    7. As she should kasi may talent and may maipagyayabang siya.

      Delete
    8. Di sya mayabang, blunt lang sya. Di lang sanay mga pinoy sa straightforward na mga tao. Gusto ung dami pa eme eme at pabebe bebe.

      Delete
    9. May ipagyayabang naman

      Delete
    10. Kung insecure at easily intimidated ka, mayayabangan k tlg sa knya.

      Delete
    11. May maipagyayabang naman kasi. Hehehe. Ang pangit eh ung nuknukan ng yabang pero waley naman maibubuga in real life

      Delete
    12. She’s just confident. Ito yung sa Pinoy eh, if your aura is not passive mayabang agad. Confidence is always branded as mayabang agad.

      Delete
    13. Daserve nya ang angas, bakit ba?

      Delete
    14. May karapatang magyabang dahil legit at may tunay na mga ganap. Hindi gaya ng iba na puro photo op lang

      Delete
    15. may K naman siya magyabang kesa naman magyabang ka na walang K.
      or maybe you find her mayabang because you're seeing it from a jealous-person point of view. Coz I don't find her that way.
      Yes - she's frank, she doesn't sugarcoat her words but let's be honest, she's excellent in her craft.

      Delete
    16. Wala naman akong nakikitang yabang. Inggit lang yan.

      Delete
    17. Linyahan ng mga walang confidence at insecure sa buhay who cannot stand strong women.

      Delete
    18. 6:03 it's called confidence, and she needed it to succeed the way she did. Bata pa lang si lea when she won the role of miss Saigon, she was unproven. When she played Eponine from Les Mis naman, people thought she did not suit the role because she was Asian. Madaling tumiklop at magpaapekto sa crabs and bashers if you don't have self confidence

    19. She has every right to be proud. And we should be proud of her too. Sa totoo lang, Lea is like the only Filipino artist who is known and admired internationally, even by hollywood stars. She has performed on broadway and west end. She has won several awards kasali na Tony’s qnd Laurence Olivier. She‘s been on TV shows abroad, etc, and yet Pinoys somehow do not appreciate her enough. Mas proud pa tayo sa mga international artists na may pinoy blood lang! Tapos sasabihin proud to be pinoy! Hala uy. I am always amazed by her work and enjoy watching videos of her on youtube. Eto talaga ang nakaka-proud! She has brought the country pride and honor over and over again yet mga pinoy lampake. Kay Manny pacquiao lang proud or vanessa hudgens, or sa mga sumasali sa America’s or UK’s got talent na may pinoy blood! Anobayan

    20. She even has a group of fans (mostly Caucasians) who watch all her concerts & Broadway shows. She mentioned them before when we watched her in Atlantic City. She was even featured by PBS (National Public television here in the US, equivalent of BBC) during their fund-raising.

  8. Lea Salonga is one of the brightest star in the world. And we Pinoys are proud to say that she is a Filipino. Mabuhay ang ating mga local singers (legit singers I must say 😜)

    ReplyDelete
  9. And she thinks of this as an achievement or what?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Uhmmmmm.....the fact na kakanta sya sa isang important event like this (govt related which could be broadcast around the world and in front of a world leader) is already considered as achievement.

      PS. I wonder kung kakanta rin sina lady gaga and blackpink . Performing their sour candy collab song. Sana

      Delete
    2. 6:16–ummm it’s a recognition of her immense talent to be asked to perform before heads of state in one of the most powerful countries in the world so yeah, mendj ng slight. 🤦🏻‍♀️ crab mentality at its finest.

    3. What's your issue

      Delete
    4. So getting an invite to sing at the White House for both the Korean and US Presidents is an everyday occurrence to you?

      Delete
    5. 6:16 what do you think?

      Delete
    6. Duh. Kelangan pa ba imemorize yan? Lols

      Delete
    7. Sabi nga nila, "O e di ikaw na ang magaling". Nahiya naman sa iyo si Lea.

      Delete
    8. Para sa celebrities, achievement iyan, dahil hindi lahat nagkakaroon ng chance.

      Delete
    9. Only great artists are able to perform at the Whitehouse , so yes this is a big deal.

      Delete
    10. She's simply announcing tht she'll be performing in White House.

      Delete
    11. Ay o anong problema mo sis This is happening lang yung sinabi

      Delete
    12. Why are you so bitter???

      Delete
    13. E anong tawag mo dyan? ASAP levels lang? O baka di mo alam ang White House? 😂

      Delete
    14. Achievement yan! Bihira ang performers (a filipino performer at that!) na nakatapak sa entablado sa loob ng white house (the seat of power of the most powerful nation lang naman po yan) noh.

      Delete
    15. Of course it is! To perform in front of head of states is an honour. Taas ng standards mo accla!

      Delete
    16. Bakit, may invite ka sa White House?

      Delete
    17. What do you think?🙄

      Delete
    18. Wala namang masama. Im sure ganyan din feeling mo kapag ikaw nasa lugar nya. Alangan naman ikahiya ano.

      Delete
    19. Baka ang alam mo lang na White House ay yung sa Baguio?

  10. Lea Salonga and Manny Pacquiao talaga for me ang best representation nating mga pinoy sa internation fame. No gimmick, no hype. Just pure talent.

    1. Agree! No clout chasing, just talent and skills.

  11. Marami ng achievements si Lea.

    AT kung para sa kanya itong pagkanta nya sa White House ay isa ring achievement, why not, sya nman yan.

  12. There she is, the FILIPINO PRIDE

  13. Wla lng. Just another day at work for Lea.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I wonder paano nakakakuha ng gigs abroad si Lea. May manager kaya siya sa US?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, meron siyang manager at talent agency na humahawak sa kanya. Naga-audition siya sa ibang gigs na nakukuha siya. Ganoon naman talaga.

      Delete
    2. I don’t think she had to audition to be invited to a WH state dinner. She is well known and respected in both US & UK theater circles. She has won both Tony & Laurence Olivier awards. She was invited because of her reputation, not because of her management.

      Delete
  15. I can’t wait to watch her later dito sa California! Lea is world-class, kilalang kilala siya internationally. Idk bat parang di naman siya naaappreciate sa Pinas

    3. mababaw ang taste ng masang Pinoy, which is majority ng viewers. hindi naman tumitingin sa talent or production value ang mga yan. charisma ang kalokohan ang patok sa kanila

      Delete
  16. Pang-international talaga sya. Some (or most) Pinoys can’t appreciate her talent…which is sad.

    ReplyDelete
  17. And to add… this isnt the only time she was invited to perform in the WH. Goes way back since Pres Bill Clinton.. #Leafansince #WeareproudtobeManang

  18. Eto ang TOTOONG pang international

  19. I can’t believe na may nega comments pa rin sa ganitong klaseng article. Jusko.

  20. Theater actress like Lea is very underrated sa Pilipinas kasi nga hindi nman uso yan sa Pilipinas. Usually she is most appreciated sa mga 1st world countries, sa true lang. 😬

  21. bat nakakita na naman ako ng korean hate dito. ilagay niyo yan sa tamang thread! hindi kayo nakakatuwa. stick to topic please!
