Can a Filipino be a model in Bollywood?

Is there any Filipino fashion model in Japan?

• I know the fashion modeling scene in Japan is going to be invaded by Chinese girls, there are many big names of full Chinese heritage, such as Emi Suzuki, Aiku, Wei Son, Hana-chan, etc, to name a few. - very much like the fashion modeling scene in the West where most of the big names are from Brazil or Eastern Europe. And from what I've heard, Filipino girls are the third most powerful group there. There are some mixed-race (half white, half black, or half Southeast Asian) girls, but they are all nobodies (i.e. not famous at all). Some of them can be Filipino, but unfortunately are not famous at all, so they don't even have their own Wikipedia pages. I'm talking about 'big names', yea. I heard this from an actual model, who models mainly for the runway scene and the 'Jelly' magazine. She is full Chinese from the Chinese Shaanxi region and has her twitter account, and she told me that she knew some models from the Philippines. Do you know any?

• Answer:

  Models are basically not very famous, but some become very famous if they are "special". As far as I know, there are not too many famous ones (whom you call "big names"), and many models don't seem to want to become famous, they just seem to want money. I know many Chinese big names, who were born in the continent allegedly as orphans and bought by modeling agencies that use the new international adoption system to give them Japanese citizenships. Some are Far-Eastern Russian, not Chinese, but misunderstood as Chinese. but Philipino famous ones? I only know Hiromi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiromi_(model) Many in the Ranzuki magazine and Vivi magazine are apparently Filipino (lived in the Philippines before immigrating to here), but they are not famous. Half white? Half black? yea they are nobodies because they are basically used just as step stones. but these two are not nobodies : Jun Hasegawa and Rena, both are half Indian and successful. They are nothing like other half-models who are treated as "sidekicking moggies". Half Southeast-Asian? I don't know one. I know some full Southeast-Asian ones though.
