LOOK: Vanessa Hudgens goes for a morning hike in Palawan

Vanessa Hudgens is making the most of her time in the Philippines. 

The actress shared on Instagram on Tuesday, March 28 that she took an early morning hike in Palawan. Aside from her IG story of a breathtaking view of the province, she also posted a video compilation of her thrilling hike. 

“5am hike to the top of the world,” she wrote in the caption with the hashtags #Philippines and #Palawan as well as emojis of heart eyes, a coconut tree, and smiling face with hearts. 

The actress arrived in the country on Saturday, March 25 to shoot a travel documentary, which will look into her relationship with her sister Stella as well as her Filipino mom Gina, who chose to move to the United States when she was 25 years old. 

“I feel like ours is such a relatable story to so many women all over the world. The more that we can share, the more we can lift each other up,” she said in a statement about the upcoming film, which will be produced and directed by Paul Soriano.

The Filipino-American beauty has long expressed her desire to put a spotlight on her Filipino roots and share it with a bigger audience. “My mom is from the Philippines, and growing up, there weren’t really that many women who looked like me and my mom and my family onscreen. It’s so important to share all the different stories because America is a massive melting pot, [just like the] world,” she said in a 2021 interview with Glamour UK. 

Vanessa is best known for her roles in the High School Musical film series as well as The Princes Switch, The Knight Before Christmas, and Tick, Tick… Boom!
