Anyway Filipino American fun fact of the day: Filipinos were the first Asians to settle in the Americas. The Manilamen of Louisiana, made of deserters and escaped slaves.

It's funny that you say that Filipinos didn't come to Australia "escape war"; as a matter of fact there are some who did. The first wave of Filipinos who came to Australia were Filipino men who came to work in the pearling industry in northern Australia in the 1860s. They are known as "Manilamen" /1
