There is a lot of cultural obsession about being partially white though. It looks like a ticket to the upper class for the Philippines since all your media personalities and a large number of politicians are that. Also, a good segment of my Filipino friends growing up are pretty quick to point out if they have some grandparent or great grandparent that was white. I figured it'd make more sense to just make all those fantasies come true and just start up a bank.
Most Filipinos in the Philippines dont seem to care. And Filipinos in the US are influenced by other Americans who think it's cool to be mixed with 100 different things. Those Fil-Ams are just acting like typical Americans in that sense.
And in the Philippines, it's really just about light skin, not necessarily Caucasian features. So if you have Chinese, Japanese or Korean ancestry, you're just as valuable. That's why a lot of famous Filipinos are of Chinese descent, and that's why Korean pop culture is so big. I mean, if Filipinos were really that obsessed with Hispanics like you think they are, then Hispanic media would be very popular. It was popular a few decades ago, in the form of telenovelas, but not now. Sometimes you'll hear Reggaeton in the Philippines, but it's much less popular than K-Pop or American music

The obsession with white skin is funny but already annoying sometimes.
BEAUTIFUL. They called that as the Golden Era, wherein criteria for leading actors and actresses must be "White Mestiza" and talented Pinoy looking relegated to just supporting casts or Comedian.

Lou Salvador jr is not maja Salvador 's dad. That is her grandfather. Ross Salvador is her dad, late Jon Hernandez is her half brother

Lou Salvador was very goodlooking when he was young.
Ross Salvador is the brother of Philip Salvador ? Who is the one who has 50 children ?
The trademark of the Salvadors are their eyes, except for Maja. All of them have big round eyes ( Jobelle, Alona Alegre, Philip, Leroy ).

We'll not all upper class or middle class are bad as most of our heroes came from middle and upper class, there are some greedy politicians that makes our country miserable.
Actually, now that Filipinos are everywhere in the world, interracial mixing is very much common again, so no need for Spanish sperm banks. Of course, it's not the same as centuries ago that mixed Filipinos were all of Spanish or Mexican ancestry... Now they're of different breeds.

yes brother of Philip Salvador, siblings are Alona Alegre and Leroy.. Lou Salvador Sr. has 50 plus children
or I think Lou Salvador Jr. is Maja's uncle instead.
Jobelle Salvador is Maja's cousin. She's the daughter of Leroy Salvador.
