There are local anime's in the Philippines but have you ever wondered "are there any Filipino characters in other anime?" speficaly Japanese anime,. and Oh.. I won't include original Philippine made anime, ayt!? =)
Randy Boy Jr.- The picture above is Miyata talking to Randy Boy Jr, and believe me when I tell you. Randy Boy Jr is a kick ass boxer. Wehew... finally Hajime No Ippo recognizes Filipino boxers, and believe me Randy Boy Jr, was no extra, he was "The main event" he 's father Randy Boy Sr, ended the career of Miyata's dad. He is the intirem OPBF champion,.. I suggest you read the manga, I'm sure you'll be proud of how strong the Filipino champ is. GO RANDY!!!

Talim- From Soul Caliber, she's the last priestess (Babaylan) of the wind (she's from the wind village by the way), because of the Spanish Poruguese conflict (she was born June 15, 1576), she can read and heed advice from the wind, and shes a good girl, shes really innocent, overall shes a great character to play,.. PROUD TO BE FILIPINO =)

Malcolm Gedo- Also hailing from the Philippines and from the anime "Hajime No Ippo", wehew..another strong Filipino fighter, hey may look like a basketball or scumbag (which is how he was depicted, he fights only for money BUT HE DID FOR A REASON, cause he lost to Randy Boy Jr), but he really put some pressure on Ippo,... it was good fight, but seemed more of an under card compared to the Randy Boy Jr story,..
By the way here is the list Filipino fighter in Hajime no Ippo (or what we call in the Philippines knock out)
Randy Boy Junior
Morris West:
Eleki Battery
Randy Boy Senior

Bishop- WAh!!!! I know your like "really?", well ladies and gentlemen originally he is not African American as you all think, YES HE IS FILIPINO, he was created by Whilce Portracio, a Filipino comic artist, who was born in Cavite Philippines. He decided to make Bishop, who came from Tondo a poverish, high crime place in the Philippines.,.. if you can find some 1990's X-men cards, he's details are there. He is from the Philippines. =)
But he is a huge Filipino,...most Filipino's can barely reach 5'8, lol..
