LOOK: Liza Soberano, H.E.R., Fil-Am stars shine at Gold Gala in LA

Filipino American celebrities, including Liza Soberano, H.E.R. and Manny Jacinto, walked the red carpet at the fifth annual Gold Gala in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Recognized as one of the most prominent celebrations of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) culture, the event honored trailblazers and leaders from various fields, including entertainment, fashion and technology.

Fil-Am Hollywood star Tia Carrere told ABC7  that AAPI representation has come a long way. “It’s beautiful now to be in a place like this, where, not only is it accepted, we are elevated. We are elevating each other,” she said.
