Pleased and surprised to see Philippines so well represented but surprised it isn't a larger asian country like Japan.

The Philippines were a US territory from 1898 to 1946. People born there in that era were non-citizen US nationals, similar to people born in Samoa today, which eased the bureaucratic hurdles to move to the US.

Also, generally people move from lower developed countries to higher developed countries. There is far more reason for someone to come from the Philippines, India or Honduras than to come from a nation like Japan.
