The Philippine Islands

Since I was talking about Philippine Islands in my previous post. I am going to elaborate more about this unique country.P.I. is nation located in Southeast Asia. Manila is the Capital City. The Philippine archipelago comprises 7,107 islands in the western Pacific Ocean. Actually, I have been to seven (7) islands in the Philippines. I even thought of going to more islands before but it didn't happen. It takes time and money to do that. The area is Area: 300,000 sq. km. (117,187 sq. mi.). It is not really big to think of it. It is comparable to Arizona land area. The Philippines was formerly under Spain then an American colony. The Philippines ultimately gained its independence from the United States after the Pacific war. Our primary language is Filipino (Tagalog) and the secondary language is English which is the Medium of Instruction. They are many things you can do in P.I as a tourist. I will post in here some pictures I grabbed from the net.
