Why is Friendster overrun with Philippinos?

Seriously, I don't get it.
8 out of 10 profiles (and especially obviously fraudulent ones) are from people in the Phil.

Why?

I don't have an answer, but Orkut (a social networking site run by Google) is overrun by Brazilians. It's weird.

Filipinos, or Pilipinos.
