Small correction, a significant amount of Chinese migrants are from Fujian, which borders Guangdong. You can usually tell from the language spoken—Fujian descendants speak Hokkien while Guangdong descendants speak Cantonese, though it's not a hard rule with the regions being adjacent, of course.

In countries like Malaysia, it seems to be an even mix of both but in others like Philippines 90% are actually from Fujian.
