However, while many half-Filipino celebrities have both of these traits to become popular in local showbiz, some of them struggle in one other area: their mastery of the Filipino language. Indeed, many half-Pinoys managed to gain the attention of the public due to good looks but failed to sustain their popularity due to their lack of proficiency in Filipino.

But some have also managed to master the Filipino language through the years they’ve stayed in the country, which translated to a fruitful career in show business.
