Yep, you read right... Siti Nurhaliza is on textbooks in the Philippines!
Based on TikTok, a Filipino student revealed that their school textbook mentions Siti Nurhaliza as part of their curriculum.
It's a big deal, because this means that Siti Nurhaliza has made such an impact she is being taught to students as part of their education--especially surpassing geographical borders.
The cultural legacy is proof that she isn't just Malaysia's treasure, but also Southeast Asia's pride.
In the textbook, there's a whole biography section called 'Siti Nurhaliza: Golden Voice and Heart of Asia'. The text spills the tea on her Malaysian beginnings, her big break, her Voice of Asia win and the music journey that made her an icon.
We mean, valid, but also, SO COOL!
