In the serial "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," the doctor mentions that he was "with the Filipino army" during the final advance to Reykjavik.

For every cool (even though it is mildly ever so sardonic) mention of the Philippines, there's a dozen other jokes about the Philippines being a country of gold-digging and opportunistic women. Such as this one from a comedian on the recent Royal Variety Performance... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buVIl96MLdE (The comedian starts his bit at the 04:08 mark.) Sigh. But I loved the Doctor Who shout-out. Greetings from cold and wet (and this time, icy) Blighty!
