Actress and global Filipina Liza Soberano took center field at the legendary Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles as she threw the ceremonial first pitch during the Dodgers vs. Mets game, joining thousands of fellow Filipinos in celebrating Filipino Heritage Night.
Dressed in Dodgers blue and flashing her signature charm, Soberano stepped onto the mound with pride and purpose, representing not only her personal roots but also the vibrant Filipino community in the United States.
Her pitch—modest but spirited—was met with cheers from kababayans in the stands, many waving Philippine flags and wearing heritage-themed Dodgers merch.
