SALAMAT!” Her enthusiastic reaction quickly charmed fans on social media, especially among Filipino audiences who appreciated the nostalgic treat and her visible pride in her roots.

The interaction was a small but sweet reminder of Noblezada’s deep connection to her Filipino heritage, even as she continues to shine on some of the world’s biggest stages.
