Hollywood, USA – Bitbit ni Lea Salonga ang kanyang sense of humor nang tanggapin ng kanyang star sa Hollywood Walk of Fame sa Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.
Si Lea ang first ever Filipino to have received such recognition.
Ang star ni Lea ang ika-2,855 bituin doon.
Kabilang siya sa Live Performance category.
In her acceptance speech, inalala ni Lea ang panahong naglalakad siya doon.
Biro niya: “I have walked down the street many times. I’ve stepped on a lot of famous people.
“And now, people get to step on me which feels strangely appropriate for a show business. I love a full circle moment.”
Hindi nakaligtaan ni Lea na pasalamatan ang mga taong naging bahagi ng kanyang career.
Kabilang dito ang kanyang inang si Ligaya Salonga who once served her manager and her brother Gerard who she was with her during her first few years sa industriya.
Hindi daw niya naabot ang kanyang career milestones nang mag-isa: “And the best part is, I’m not done yet!” Ronnie Carrasco III
