webfact Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Image Courtesy: UNFPA Thailand When we think of Thailand’s best-selling female artists of all time, Christina Aguilar, who is widely dubbed as the country’s “Queen of Dance”, is at the top. Now she is taking on a new role as the “Champion of UNFPA”, to advocate for gender equality, including several related issues, such as eliminating gender-based violence and improving access to sexual and reproductive health. “I have got to say that I am very excited, and I feel very honoured that they are trusting me in taking on this new role and to be part of the UNFPA family.” -Advocating for gender equality- Though Christina has been known as an artist, what people may not know is that she has been advocating for gender equality. She explains that her fans were her main inspiration, as most of them were from the LGBTQ community. She would also invite her fans to make merit and donations, in which they have visited orphanages, shelters for women and children and nursing homes for the elderly.

rbkk Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Thailand’s “Queen of Dance” Yeah, right...... "She does NOT have Thai heritage, but sometimes is mistaken for Thai because of her ability to speak fluent Thai." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Aguilar Surfing on the coattails is the only thing Thai I see going on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's her birth name from her Filipino father. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Laughing Gravy Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 Oh dear! Why is it Thailand seems to jump on the bandwagon of anyone remotely famous as their own. They did the same with Tiger Woods which backfired and was made to look stupid and told the press he wasn't Thai in any form. Then there was the same thing with Vanessa May, the Violinist. Thailand has their own home grown talent and they don't need to adopt every famous artist, who has minimal links or zero links to the country. It is tacky and shows signs of desperation. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerno Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 She's not Thai. Aguilar is the daughter of Filipino musician Tony Aguilar and French-Vietnamese mother Margaret. She was born in Bangkok. And not a dancer either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
