Filipinos were considered US Nationals from 1898-1935, and was a US unincorporated insular area until 1946. Therefore the would be Filipino-Americans during that time. As the Philippine Islands were part of the United States. Furthermore the US Flag was the official flag of the Philippines from 1901 to 1919.-- 72.199.154.162 ( talk) 10:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
The article says at least one Filipino parent. Natalie Coughlin has Filipino ancestry but it's her grandmother. She's only 1/4 Filipino
Now since when did Lea Salonga ever become an American? Or am I just not up to date?
I have made the following proposal regarding the criteria for inclusion for these lists. If this is something that you have comments or ideas about, please provide feedback. Thanks. Wikibofh 9 July 2005 19:14 (UTC)
I just added Melody Lacayanga and Ryan Conferido in the entertainment section.
Am I missing something but why was she removed?? -- Dysepsion 18:53, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Isn't she Filipina, not American? The sport news anchors always describe her as a Filipina, even though she currently lives in California.
In The OC web pages, I haave heard that she is half-Filipino, is it right?

They pretty clearly took that from the IMDB, along with the rest of the trivita notes on that page. The IMDB has since taken the notation down. There is really no way that Bilson is half Filipina and half Latina, considering her paternal great-grandparents were immigrants from England with the surname "Bilson". She may have some Filipino ancestry, but it hasn't been mentioned in an official source yet as far as I can tell. 24.141.149.226 20:56, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
The Rachel Bilson bio page here on Wikipedia doesn't mention Filipino lineage.

just browsing the lists when i saw some names have outside links, can we just remove them and might as well create an article for them? its a bit unfair while the others have a red-link on them,
also i saw some people have fractions on how much theyre filipino (1/8, half filipino, etc.) *duhr*looks on the topic title*, do we have to give their filipino percentage each? †Bloodpack† argh! 17:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Is Billy Crawford American? His entry doesn't list him as an American at all, though it does say he lived here. Mad Jack 18:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
A Filipino American is a person referred to as a Filipino American or a Filipino (if they are also American) in a reliable source... Not everyone with a drop of Filipino blood (i.e. the 12.5%) since we don't go by the one drop rule. But of course, if that person with the 12.5% was called a Filipino American by a reliable source, they should be on here. Oh and accordingly, I removed Will Ferrell. I'm not sure if he really said he has some Filipino ancestry or not, but regardless, I couldn't find anything that described Ferrell as Fil-American. Mad Jack 07:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
the famed WWE wrestler is not a "Filipino-American" but a "Filipino-Greek", why is he in the list? †Bloodpack† argh! 20:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't quite understand what you're implying. He was born in Arlington, Virginia which would make him an American citizen, which would make him a Filipino-Greek-American -- † Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 22:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
It turns out that her mother is not Filipino, but rather Polynesian (see her entry for an interview where she says that). I'd guess the fact that she was born in the Phillippines led to assumptions that her mother was Filipino. I suppose she should still be on this list because she was born in the Phillippines.

You forgot to hyper-link Buzz Belmondo (real name Lorenzo Matuwaran) who was on TV in the 1980s on Out Of This World
and had a recurrent role on Baywatch.
He grew up in a San Francisco housing project (just like myself) to Filipino immigrants.

There seems to be an error about Brandon Lee in the list. It links to the article about Bruce Lee's son, not the actor that shares the same name... will anyone fix this ?

I have reverted Dysepsion's removal of names of three FilAm law professors, which s/he refers to as "non-notable". Not only are they the *only* Filipino American law professors in America -- *all three* write on Asian American race/diversity/immigration issues. There is no way that such work makes them less notable than FilAm country music singers, models, or "turntablists". It's nice that Filipinos are well-represented in American popular culture, but that is no reason to leave out people who contribute to its intellectual culture. Calamondin 04:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Certainly; you can check my statement on their being the only ones to self-ID as Filipino in the American Association of Law Schools Faculty Directory, which lists such data. (It's also a point that has been brought up often in the last 5 years at local and national Asian-PacIslander Law Student Association meetings. A lawprof named Robert Chang has been keeping track of Asian-PacIslander law professors over the past few years, because there are so many APA law students.) Our numbers are growing, (as is true of other minority students) while faculty diversity has basically held stable in the last few years.
Please note, however, that my bedrock justification for placing them on the list is that they actually work on the problems of Filipinos in the US. And while I see no stated requirements for inclusion on this list (aside from non-vanity), surely advocacy for our rights must qualify them.
Your point, I understand, is that there might be numerous FilAm professors in the US, and would that fit in this list. Frankly, the problem I see is that such a list would be *significantly* shorter than the list of all other professions we have right now. That is, there aren't enough Filipinos teaching in the US at the postsecondary level (and particularly in tenure-track/tenured positions). Also, if there ever are a significant number (more than 20, say) I guarantee I will write the spinoff article myself. Anyhow, my next step is to create articles for each of the 3 profs I added, so people looking at the list will be able to see more info about their work. Best, Calamondin 04:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
A category such as law professors is too narrow. I think there should be a category for academics who are notable and well-known in and out of their field. This would cover the Fil-Am law professors, if they fit this criteria. -- Chris S. 20:26, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
This may be a little older than the person who wrote this article... This can be verified through their website and through very old videos on Youtube from the 60's...
Larry Ramos of The Association (born in Hawaii);
Billy Hinsche of Dino, Desi & Billy (born in Manila - raised in the U.S.)... His bandmates were infinitely more famous as they were the sons of Dean Martin and Desi Arnaz.
Both groups were pretty popular in the mid 60s - The Association had 2 number one hits.

it would be nice if the names within each section were put in alphabetic order by last name Hmains 04:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
On occasion I've removed some names from this list and continue to do so because many simply are not notable. There's no way some of these names would even have an article on Wikipedia because they do not meet notabilty standards and therefore should not even be listed. For example, someone who appeared in a small independent film with no other work is not notable. Likewise I have deleted names who are no more than character actors. ---- Ðysepsion † Speak your mind 06:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
To be in this article, a person must have a WP article establishing the person as a Filipino American or have a valid WP references showing this is true. Otherwise, I will move the names (most of the redlines) to this talk page where they can be kept until, and if, notablibilty is established. I will begin this work next week.

I have been working on the JabbaWockeeZ article sometime lately. On the talk page (discussion tab) another user put a note saying that the JabbaWockeeZ are a group and should not be viewed as seperate individuals so making individual articles for the group members isn't notable. Can anyone help me on this? On the list provided on this article there are three Fil-Am members Rynan Paguio, Phil Tayag, and Chris Gatdula whom are of the JabbaWockeeZ which I could start articles on if people can help me with building articles for them. Thanks in advance. Hotbabygurl016 ( talk) 03:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Added several to this list in different categories: Geno Espineli and Brandon Villafuerte (baseball) - they are full-blooded Filipino-Americans; Billy Hinsche (mother was Filipina), guitarist for 60's teen band, Dino, Desi & Billy; Dorothy Delasin, a successful Fil-Am golfer from the San Francisco Bay Area; Jaya Ramsey, freestyle artist from the late 1980's; Andrew Ganigan, lightweight contender (professional boxing) of the late 70s and early 80; and Raymond Townsend, former NBA guard of the late 70s and early 80s (played for Golden State and for San Diego).

Do not list Tim Tebow, 2007 Heisman Trophy Winner. He was born in the Philippines to American parents. He technically isn't - his parents were doing missionary work there. (similar to Cliff Richard or Engelbert Humperdinck being born in India).
16:34, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm surprised that everyone forgot about him. He's best known as a associate producer for the "Jeffersons" and "Good Times" and a producer for "Three's Company." You won't be able to find him in Wikipedia, but with imdb. There was a feature article written about him in the Philippine News many years ago.

I put him (George Sunga) in - but I don't know how to link the source.. It's under a website called Famous Kapampangans (if that's the correct spelling) - pls link to source...thanks. He's also listed under imdb. This is one of the sources: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/4059/famous4.htm. Please link to this one if you can.

From this ESPN article: "Then Arum's guests showed up: Nevada Sen. John Ensign and his two children. Arum introduced me to the senator and we chatted for a bit. Turns out Ensign is a huge boxing fan and one-eighth Filipino, so he was excited to meet Pacquiao and have him pose for a photo with him and his kids." -- Anyo Niminus ( talk) 02:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Please do research on this.... Born in Virginia... He's one of four Fil-Ams in the Major Leagues the past two years. He was sent down to the minors after a stint with the Detroit Tigers. His mother's side is Filipino.

Monessa Catuncan is listed in the military section, which as you all know who have been editing this list for a while, I have been keeping track of. She is an officer, and pilot, in the United States Air Force, as cited in the article used as a reference; however, I do not know if that is notable enough to warrant being included on the list. Opinions? Comments Suggestions?-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 03:56, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Owen Kline has recently been placed on this list. His mother,
Phoebe Cates, was already 1/8th
Chinese Filipino, meaning that unless Kevin Kline has any filipino heritage that means that he is at most only 1/16th Chinese Filipino. And keeping similar criterea, such as that needed by an individiaul claiming to be
Native American needing to show that they have at least one eighth ancestry, than Owen Kline would not meet said criterea. Furthermore, the individuals wikiarticle only claims that he is a living Jewish American from New York City. --

From this ESPN article: "Then Arum's guests showed up: Nevada Sen. John Ensign and his two children. Arum introduced me to the senator and we chatted for a bit. Turns out Ensign is a huge boxing fan and one-eighth Filipino, so he was excited to meet Pacquiao and have him pose for a photo with him and his kids." -- Anyo Niminus ( talk) 02:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Please do research on this.... Born in Virginia... He's one of four Fil-Ams in the Major Leagues the past two years. He was sent down to the minors after a stint with the Detroit Tigers. His mother's side is Filipino.

Monessa Catuncan is listed in the military section, which as you all know who have been editing this list for a while, I have been keeping track of. She is an officer, and pilot, in the United States Air Force, as cited in the article used as a reference; however, I do not know if that is notable enough to warrant being included on the list. Opinions? Comments Suggestions?-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 03:56, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Owen Kline has recently been placed on this list. His mother,
Phoebe Cates, was already 1/8th
Chinese Filipino, meaning that unless Kevin Kline has any filipino heritage that means that he is at most only 1/16th Chinese Filipino. And keeping similar criterea, such as that needed by an individiaul claiming to be
Native American needing to show that they have at least one eighth ancestry, than Owen Kline would not meet said criterea. Furthermore, the individuals wikiarticle only claims that he is a living Jewish American from New York City. --

Maybe someone, better than I should archive this talk page. I almost botched the move of the archive page for the Filipino American talk page. -- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 03:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
