The Philippine islands are an archipelago of over 7,000 islands lying about 500 mi (805 km) off the southeast coast of Asia.
The overall land area is comparable to that of Arizona. Only about 7% of the islands are larger than one square mile, and only one-third have names.
The largest are Luzon in the north (40,420 sq mi; 104,687 sq km),
Mindanao in the south (36,537 sq mi; 94,631 sq km),
and Visayas (23,582 sq mi; 61,077 sq km).
These are divided into 17 regions, 81 provinces,144cities,1,491 municipalities , and 42,028 barangay.
Geographical ConditionPHILIPPINES
Most of the mountainous islands are covered in tropical rainforest and volcanic in origin. The highest mountain is Mount Apo. It measures up to 2,954 meters (9,692 feet) above sea level and is located on the island of Mindanao. The longest river is the Cagayan River in northern Luzon. Manila Bay, upon the shore of which the capital city of Manila lies, is connected to Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the Philippines.

There are three seasons: tag-init or tag-araw, the hot dry season or summer from March to May; tag-ulan, the rainy season from June to November; and tag-lamig, the cool dry season from December to February. The southwest monsoon (from May to October) is known as the Habagat, and the dry winds of the northeast monsoon (from November to April), the Amihan. Temperatures usually range from 21C (70F) to 32C (90F) although it can get cooler or hotter depending on the season. The coolest month is January; the warmest is May.
Early SettlementPRE HISPANIC COLONIZATION
The earliest inhabitants of the Philippines lived some 40000 years ago. Stone tools from ancient times were found in Palawan. The age of the tools is estimated to be about 30.000 years old.
The original people of the Philippines were ancestors of the people known today as Negritos or Aeta. They are very small people with a dark skin and curly brown hair.
In the tenth century Muslim traders come from Kalimantan (Indonesia) to the Philippines.
A few centuries later, the Islam spread out in the southern part of the Philippines. Until now, the Islam is strong rooted on Mindanao and the other (smaller) islands of the southern part of the Philippines.
Philippine HistoryHISPANIC-AMERICAN PERIOD
In 1521 the Spanish period started with the arrival of a small fleet in the coastal waters of Mactan island, just east of Cebu island. It was Fernando de Magellaes (Ferdinand Magellan), a Portuguese in service of the Spanish King. He claimed the country for the Spanish King.
After the Spaniards succeeded in 1556 to break the last good organized resistance, a long period of Spanish influence followed. The Spaniards ruled the country and brought the Christian religion.
At the end of the nineteenth century, on April 25,1898, the United States declared war on Spain. The battle took place in Manila Bay. On May 1 in 1898 the Spanish fleet was destroyed.
After the end of the American-Spanish war in 1898, the Spaniards sold the Philippines and other colonial properties for 20 million dollar to the Americans.
The Americans decided that the Filipinos were not yet capable to be independent. A hostile period started. The United States needed more than 125.000 soldiers to subdue the Philippines. The Philippine rebels were forced to retreat and were driven into northern Luzon. From here they started a guerrilla. This "Philippine War of Independence" continued for two years and ended when Aguinaldo was captured on March 23, 1901. Only sporadic resistance continued until 1903.
Philippine HistoryAMERICAN AND PRE-WWII PERIOD
The Philippines was controlled by the Americans from 1900-1942. In 1934 an act was established, which made it possible that the Philippines could have a "Commonwealth of the Philippines". The first president of this Commonwealth was Manuel Quezon. The first president was given certain power for some internal affairs.
The Japanese army and rulers occupied the Philippines from 1942 - 1944

Tradition and CustomsPHILIPPINES
Mano PoWhen children or young people greet or say goodbye to their elders they typically do so by taking the right hand of the elder with their right hand and touch the back the elder's hand lightly on their forehead. This act is called Mano Po. It is a way to give respect to elders and I've also understood it to be a way of accepting a blessing from the elder. Mano is spanish for 'hand' while the word Po is often used at the end of a sentence when addressing elders or superiors.
PoThe word Po is often used when speaking with an elder or to a superior. Typically, it is added to the end of a sentence. For example, thank you would be thank you po. In tagalog, salamat means thank you. To an elder you would say salamat po. The word po doesn't really have a meaning but adds formality as a sign of respect.

Foods and CousinePHILIPPINES
Philippine cuisine has evolved over several centuries from its Malayo-Polynesian origins to become a mixed cuisine with many Hispanic, Chinese, American, and other Asian influences that have been adapted to local ingredients and the Filipino palate to create distinctively Filipino dishes.
Dishes range from the very simple, like a meal of fried salted fish and rice, to the elaborate, such as the paellas and cocidos created for fiestas. Popular dishes include lechón, adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, tapa, crispy pata, pancit, lumpia, and halo-halo. Some common local ingredients used in cooking are calamondins, coconuts, saba (a kind of short wide plantain), mangoes, milkfish, and fish sauce.
Filipino taste buds tend to favor robust flavors but the cuisine is not as spicy as those of its neighbors.
