I am from philippines and i admit most of us have a funny english accent and most of us have american accent too because we were colonized by the americans and spanish long long time ago and brought christianity to us and made our secondary language english. i can define our accent and appearance is kinda like mexicans and if you can notice our native language (tagalog) sounds spanish (mexicans language)
