If you live in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area, OR if you plan on being in the area on July 31st and August 1st, be sure to make your way out to the 2010 Asian Festival in Reston, VA for a fun-filled event highlighting the different cultures of the Asian continent. The Asian Festival will showcase food, dance, music, and fashion from the different countries across Asia, ranging from Vietnamese, Indian, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Laotian, Pilipino, and others, for every attendee to enjoy.
  Pilipinos have been subject to the lack of relevant exposure in mainstream media.  Many aspiring actors and actress have been typecasted in roles such as a leader of a child gang of misfits, a ninja turtle accomplice, and many other non-Pilipino characters.  Other than films like "The Debut" and "Lumpia," when do Pilipino Americans actually play...Pilipinos?  The last couple of years have been great in terms of representing Pilipino talent in singing, dancing, and the arts.  But what about Pilipinos on the main stage as a character portraying their own ethnicity?
