Lea Salonga says she hopes her star inspires other Filipino kids as she becomes the first Filipina to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame:
"I hope that someday a young Filipino kid comes to Hollywood, sees my name and thinks, ‘Oh, maybe I can get here too.’"
Alexandra Eala was given a special hair tie from Nike to wear at Wimbledon.
It features the sampaguita, which is the national flower of the Philippines.
“Kung may tinanim, may aanihin.”
Which translates to: “If you plant, you will harvest.”
Nike’s message:
“Alex,
The sampaguita: delicate, radiant, resilient,
is more than the Philippines' national flower.
It's strength. It's belief. It's home.
And today, you carry it with you.
Every dream begins as a seed.
"Kung may tinanim, may aanihin." And what you plant, you'll one day reap.
Over the last decade, you've planted it all
- the hours, the grind, the quiet resolve.
And now, here you are, a Filipina on the grass courts of history.
Not just playing for herself, but carrying a nation in full bloom.
All yours.
Team Nike”
Representing everyone in the Philippines with so much pride. 🥹

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.
