Nijika as Filipina were meant to represent an average Filipiono's "extrovertedness" (or "overproud" in other words). The specific attire is a parody of Nescafe commercial in Philipines.
Ikuyo as Indonesian were to represent the country's issue about massive national debt, just like her character. Hence why she's wearing formal Indonesian attire.
Bocchi as Vietnamese is, well, a play on Viet Cong stereotype of being "good at hiding".
Nijika as Thai is because she's overall yellow in color, being a jab on the right-wing royalist faction in Thailand. Her whistle (a symbol of one of these royalist faction) is a further evidence.

The whole "Kita being Filipino" thing also started when some guys pointed out her name 'Kita' translates to a word in the Filipino language.

As an actual Filipino I can agree to that somewhat.
Then again I'm a bit of a outlier due to me being more restrained than most.
And I wouldn't say over proud or extroverted more like we're just generally a really friendly sort so long as there's nothing present to prevent us from being friendly with anyone.

And yeah we can be some of the weirdest freaks of nature with drinking piping hot coffee while it's already blazing hot.

And yes, coffee any time of the day. Doesn't matter if it's a scorching hot summer afternoon or close to midnight.
