    Since accents do not just Manifest within the English language as it does in others, I can honestly say that yes, I do speak with an Accent.

    My dialect of Tagalog is Manileño, which is different from what people from Bulacan, Batangas & Quezon uses. Also, my Kapampangan bloodline often rears its head up as I often speak with the trademark "missing h sound" in Kapampangan phonics when I'm speaking hurriedly.

    However, as English is the main subject of this thread then yes, I have the Filipino accent when using English as exemplified by these Youtube Videos:

    Interestingly, one of my lecturers at university had a very strong foreign accent (I believe he was Israeli, although no-one could ever get him to say what nationality he was) and I was the only person in my class to have absolutely no trouble understanding him, despite the fact that as a deaf person I actually had the most reason to have trouble understanding him.

    Not to downplay it or anything, but I'm pretty sure that 90% of us know at least a little Te Reo.
