Science Fiction Characters of Philippine Descent

Many people know that Juan "Johnny" Rico, from Starship Troopers, is of Philippine descent.

Another individual to add to that list is Hikaru Sulu, from Star Trek, who Gene Roddenberry wrote to be a half Japanese, half Filipino individual, born in San Francisco, California. While Sulu's back story is never really referenced in the series or movies, it is a neat item of trivia to know.
