(a) because it rhymed.

(b) because in the current outsourced development market, China and the Phillipines seem to be supplying the biggest chunk (but not all) of the lowest-end and most incompentent coding (not blaming the providers, they're also doing it really cheap, and You Get What You Pay For). If you browse the DailyWTF a bit, you'll find lots of examples of "inventive" code from these kinds of shops.

Five years ago I would have said "India and the Ukraine" and had to find a different rhyme. However, code quality from Indian/Ukrainian oursourced companies has gotten a lot better (and more expensive). I expect China and the Phillipines to follow the same trajectory, and in five years it'll be Zimbabwe or Trinidad or Albania or somewhere else supplying the plurality of low-cost, low-quality outsourced code.
