Of course it’s primarily coz she is of Filipino descent. Never mind if she didn’t grew up in the Philippines — Ramiele Malubay will always be a “kababayan” for all the Filipinos out there. And the fact that she’s a singer, that made her all the more lovable. Pinoys are very fond of singing, FYI =) University of the Philippines (UP) sociologist Andrea Martinez explains, “Filipinos cheer for Ramiele Malubay because they can relate to her. The singer embodies the longing of every single Pinoy to be successful.”

The sociologist adds, “There is also the natural propensity of Filipinos to identify with the underdog since the singer is considered a member of the minority who can be subjected to discrimination.” Ooohh, now you’re talking serious ma’am! But we all love underdogs right? And just like boxing idol Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, the UP sociologist also said Filipinos will support Ramiele Malubay because she gives them reason to be proud of their nationality.
