Filipino-American singer and actress Nicole Scherzinger found herself reconnecting with her heritage during a recent visit to the Philippines, where she was captivated by the beauty of Palawan.
“Imagine having blood that ties you to a place this breathtaking,” the Pussycat Dolls frontwoman wrote on Instagram, sharing videos of herself cruising through turquoise waters and admiring limestone cliffs.
In another post, she described the island as “otherworldly.”
The trip comes after Scherzinger’s milestone Tony Award win for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.
In her acceptance speech, she reflected on identity and belonging, saying, “Growing up, I always felt like I didn’t belong… I’m proud to represent as a Hawaiian-Ukrainian-Filipino girl.”
Expressing gratitude to her supporters, Scherzinger said she hopes her journey continues to inspire others.
“I just have to thank God for carrying me every step of the way. I give You all the glory,” she said.
