I voted for Filipino People because their BEAUTY and APPEAL "stands out among the rest of the asian people"

I mean, You can really see from the beginning how much other "foreign countries" wants to Invade Philippines...their "appeal" is really intense !!!

Foreign Countries that INVADES Philippines: Japan, Spain, U.S.A., European, China...etc....HISTORY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF...so...no doubt, Filipinos are the most beautiful asian ever !!!

"I think Flips have it pretty well in USA media. Look at Gene Roddenberry Andromeda and Earth Final Conflict. They have Flips playing major roles, that have nothing to do with race."

Aww yeah!!! Lexa Doig es una mestiza muy caliente! She also stars in Jason X. Don't miss out! www.lexaonline.com

As far as other Filipinos, Joy Bisco is a hottie too. She's been in The Debut and Not Another Teen Movie, and has a role on Port Charles. Dante Basco has been around for ages. He was also on The Debut, and was one of the stars of Hook, and Perfect Weapon (playing a Korean).

"But, Toisan is fairly close enough to standard Cantonese. Even the neighboring Hakkas language are not so hard to understand if you listen diligently. They have all borrowed features from one another."

Let's put this way, all of the Southern Chinese in the Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian provinces came from the same ancestors...once could safely assume these people at one time were from the same area in the Northern Areas of China and then eventually made their way to the South at different periods of China's history.

Actually there a 4 main groups of Chinese to settle in the Guangdong province at different times.

1)The 1st batch were the Cantonese (Sam Yups). People from the Chungsan and Dongguan areas are considered Sam Yups as well. They took all the best land they could find, and most of it were in the inlands.

2)The 2nd batch were the Sze Yups (Toisanese). People from Toisan and neighboring areas such as Engping, Hoiping are the Sze Yups. They took what they could find after the (Sam Yup)Cantonese have settled.

3)The 3rd batch were the Hakkas. Since the Sam Yups and Sze Yups took all the lowlands, the Hakkas took residence in the highlands and hills. They are 2 groups of Hakka, the Eastern and the Western. Western Hakkas came to the Guangdong before the Eastern Hakkas.

4)The last batch to come were the Hokkiens(Southern Fujianese). These people settle in Eastern Coastal areas of Guangdong such as Chiu Chou and the strip of beaches that extend from Fujian to all the way down to Hong Kong. Many of their neighbors are the Eastern Hakkas who live in the hills above the coasts.

If one visits New York City's Chinatown, you will find all of these Chinese groups speaking the Cantonese dialect in addition to their local dialect. Further, non-Cantonese speaking groups such as the Fuchoonese, Wenzhounese, Shanghainese, Taiwanese and Pekinese are beginning to be as prevalent. I think I will see a melting pot of Chinese in the next few years in the city, where Cantonese and Mandarin will be understood by all of the Chinese, and intermarriages will occur between the different groups. It's a crazy **s world!
