Here's the original interview from Manila Bulletin's Jiggy Cruz who was at SXSW. I just had to add this shout-out to us Filipino fans from Cebulski himself.
Jollibee lol!I also got a comment from C.B., a dear friend of the Filipinos.
“Filipino Marvel fans are some of the most passionate in the world, and we’ve always wanted to return that love… and now we finally have that chance, in the form of the water warrior known as Wave! Greg Pak and Leinil Yu have created Marvel’s newest hero, a fascinating Filipina with roots in Cebu. We look forward to exploring not only her place in the Marvel Universe, but her origins in the Philippines!”
“And of course she’s a Jollibee fan!” Cebulski added.
