Lawta Joizey Accents Hea

I find it interesting that a good amount of the people working here speak with distinct accents. It's not unexepected, of course, but I find it mildy entertaining. It sort of reminds me of noticing the differences in accents while I was in Europe (which, come to think of it, happened just last year; perhaps I'll blog a retrospective on it at some point).

Then it got me to wondering how accents came about (my horribility at work is evident in my ADD; I go off on a lot of tangents). What do other Tagalog accents sound like? I'm sure if I were to speak Tagalog, I'd have an American accent of sorts. But do Tagalog speakers in different regions of the Philippines have accents? That one guy on TFC seems to speak a little differently. You know which one I'm talking about? I forget which show. Is it Balitang K? I think it's one of those Filipino Hard Copy shows or something. I think it's TV Patrol. That guy cracks me up. I've heard Italian spoken with a Filipino accent while in Rome. That was entertaining, too. Hoy, tutto benne.
