It is a dream come true for every Filipino artist to be given a break in Hollywood. Some artists are joining different workshops abroad to develop and to get a chance be part of the prestigious Hollywood.

And with the past few years, more Filipinos were given breaks in Hollywood not just as actors and actress but as well as writers, technicians and directors. Let us recall with this list the names of Filipinos who also conquest Hollywood.

Mariel Rodriguez is one of the most in demand stars of this generation but still she finds way to rest and enjoy her life.

As a matter of fact, the young the busy actress took a break recently and went on a three-day cruise onboard the Virgo luxury ship recently along with another real-life couple, Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban.

She also reveals that she indulges in social drinking once in a while and even calls herself a vodka girl preferring the alcoholic beverage over beer hands down.

Raymond Gallegis Dizon, business unit head, confirmed that the new afternoon ABS-CBN's television series, "Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal?", was first offered to Roxanne Ginoo but the young actress eventually backed out the project.

Dizon said that the young actress raised concerns about the love scenes.

According to Dizon, it was a personal decision that Roxanne made. In their meeting with the actress, she revealed that she's afraid if she can really do the scene.

The former Rivermaya front man, Rico Blanco recently told the entertainment media that "he's still the number one Eraserheads fan."

Rico said that he is a mere fan of the defunct Eraserheads which Buendia led back in the 90s in a night at Capones in Makati where he promoted his newest single "Ayuz Na."

When asked if he is kind of monitoring Buendia's progress as a tunesmith to somewhat measure his own output’s growth, he pointed out, that it's not like that in music (referring to the unspoken competition). He is just doing his own stuff and be happy with it. The two are no doubt the most prolific and successful rock songwriters of the current generation, having propelled their respective former groups to iconic status.
