Fil-Am actress Liza Soberano graces the iconic Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for a ceremonial first pitch at the LA Dodgers' Filipino Heritage Night against the New York Mets

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino-American actress Liza Soberano graced the iconic Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday (Wednesday, June 4, Manila time), as part of the LA Dodgers’ Filipino Heritage Night game against the New York Mets.

“So honored to be amongst all my kababayans (countrymen) throwing the first pitch at the Dodgers vs Mets game for Filipino Heritage Night!” the 27-year-old star wrote.

“I was so nervous, but I think I did okay?”

Soberano is just the latest in a long line of celebrities with Filipino lineage featured in the Dodgers’ heritage nights, as the likes of singers Ylona Garcia and Saweetie, and actor Jacob Batalon of Spider-Man fame have either performed or thrown ceremonial pitches in Dodger Stadium.

Filipino Heritage Night also remains a popular and frequent sports event in California and Texas, as NBA teams like the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings, and Houston Rockets, among others, have had their fair share of Pinoy-centric side attractions during game nights.

Soberano’s appearance at Dodger Stadium coincides with the release of her latest project Can I Come In?, a “podcast-cinema-documentary hybrid” created, directed and hosted by Arab-Australian artist and photographer Sarah Bahbah.

Bahbah bills Can I Come In? as “a first-of-its-kind immersive art series, where vulnerability meets high-cinema,” as Soberano worked with the likes of former adult film actress and sex workers’ rights advocate Mia Khalifa, and singer-songwriters Banks and Nemahsis. – Rappler.com
