I've just read a story about Anne Curtis. She is a half Filipina half Australian girl who has been in a few Filipino movies...

According to media stories, Anne Curtis lived in Australia but visited Philippines at the age of 13. It is said that she was spotted by a talent scout when she visited a Jolliebee's! So talent scouts are deliberately seeking out mixed race Filipino's?

Why is it that celebrities in Philippines tend to be half white, half Filipino..?

It seems Filipino's have MORE admiration for half white, half Filipino's than they do for what you might call pure blooded Filipino's..?

Why is it like that?
