Sorry for not responding, I had a cortisone flare in my wrist and couldn't type for a few days because of extreme pain )':
No place on Earth is perfect, but Canada's a pretty solid choice. Healthcare is free, there's more racial tolerance here than in the States (I'm Asian too), and I'm sure you'd meet lots of other Filipinos if you settled in an urban area (like Toronto, where Layell and I live). One thing you definitely should research though is whether the gov't will accept your credentials once you finish your studies. Some foreign degrees aren't acknowledged here, so some well-educated immigrants end up having to work blue-collar jobs (i.e., cab drivers) while they retrain in Canada.
