Who would ever think that the 3 Fil-American teens of California will come out of thier woodworks in quick succession when they took the picture above years ago in the Bay Area.
First it was Jasmine V through Justin Bieber's "Baby" video as his love interest in 2010, then Thia Megia via American Idol 2011, now its Jessica's turn.
Thia Megia's friend in LA Filipina-Mexican Jessica Sanchez has made through the Hollywood rounds according to MJ'sBlog spoiler for the upcoming American Idol season 11.
Like Thia, she's an alumnus of America Got Talent Season 1 (Yes the Season that Bianca Ryan won) as a wildcard that challenges Bianca Ryan vote getting public before she (Bianca) was crowned the winner of that AGT edition.
Thia worked with Jessica and Jasmine for Mosci Records the same label that handles Jasmine Villegas which is now part of Sony Entertainment.
A lot of us Fil-Ams in California was hoping these 3 girls work as a group and have watched them growup in various Filipino-American festivals they have performed in.

She will be part of the Zhuniverse Float and will be featured singing One Fine Day. She will be the 3rd Filipina to be featured on the annual Thanksgiving festivies televised to 100 Million Americans after Anna Marie Perez de Tagle and her friend Charice.
Funny how the trend also garnered rumors about her being on Glee as Sunshine Corazon's little sister, although its unverified it made the Whatatrend descriptions.

I had a few moments with Scotty and he's such a genuine person. He's very giving, very nice, and very sweet with everybody. I'm not one to say if he has a crush on me. Maybe it must come from him
