MANILA, Philippines, March 23 ----- "High School Musical" actress Vanessa Hudgens will tour the Philippines to shoot a travel documentary about her Filipino heritage.
The still-untitled documentary will revolve around Vanessa's relationship with her mother Gina — who left the Philippines for the United States when she was 25 — her sister Stella, and Vanessa's own journey to becoming a household name. The project will see Vanessa visiting the Philippines for the first time as shooting begins this March in Manila and Palawan, and the actress herself has always been proud of her Pinoy roots.
"I feel like ours is such a relatable story to so many women all over the world," Vanessa said in a statement. "The more that we can share, the more we can lift each other up."
The documentary is somewhat a fulfillment of what Vanessa had shared in a 2021 Glamour UK interview wherein she hoped Gina would write a book about immigrating to the United States so it could be turned into a film. Apart from directing, Presidential Creative Adviser Paul Soriano is an executive producer with Mark A. Victor through the former's TEN17P production company. No distributor or news about the documentary heading for theaters or a streaming platform has been announced yet.
