I don't know why Filipinos make fun of their accents. I really admire Filipino accents. It sounds so genuine, and strong.
It gives depth and character to English when spoken.
It gives added authority, me-thinks.
Case in point, when my father used to get angry at us, when he said, "Come over here" in his Filipino accent, we, his children, would scramble for cover.
lol
one thing i learn here, people are very appreciative if you try how you speak the way they do...they don't expect me to be perfect, but they like to see when a filipino begins to embrace them through their manner of speaking with my own accent hehehe
