Got wind of this cool website from an entry on Alfred's blog. The Speech Accent Archive hosts over 500 audio samples of people from different locations and backgrounds speaking the same English paragraph. The idea is to compare and analyze the different English accents from around the world.
If you're from the Philippines, you might want to listen to samples from Tagalog and Cebuano speakers. I'm obviously being biased here, but our accents are probably one of the most understandable among the English speakers of the world.
