More than 7,000 islands make up the Philippines, but the bulk of its fast-growing population lives on just 11 of them. Much of the country is mountainous and prone to earthquakes and eruptions from around 20 active volcanoes. It is often buffeted by typhoons and other storms. Philippines – Country in Asia!

Philippines – Country in Asia

The capital of the Philippines doesn’t always make the news for the right reasons, but if you want a vivacious and underappreciated city, Manila is ready to challenge your assumptions.

The Philippine Islands became a Spanish colony during the 16th century. In 1935 the Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth.

Manuel QUEZON was elected president and was tasked with preparing the country for independence after a 10-year transition. In 1942 the islands fell under Japanese occupation during World War II.

And US forces and Filipinos fought together during 1944-45 to regain control. In 1992, after many years of negotiations, the U.S. finally closed its last military bases on the islands, and (in the view of many), the Philippines lost much needed revenue from that action.

Rizal Park, also known as Luneta Park, is a historic urban park located in the heart of Manila.
