Mappa delle Filippine.

Le Filippine [1] sono uno stato insulare del Sud-est asiatico. L'arcipelago è costituito di ben 7.000 isole a Nord del Borneo e ad est del Vietnam

Regioni

Le Filippine sono costituite da tre isole principali e 17 regioni, come risulta dall'elenco sottostante:

Le regioni sono suddivise in province o stati per un totale di 79,

Centri principali

• Manila -- National capital. The Metropolitan Manila area includes several cities and municipalities to form one administrative body governed jointly by the local governments and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

• Cebu -- Also known as the Queen City of the South, Cebu is the first established indigenous settlement discovered by the west in the Philippines. For a short time before the re-dedication of Manila, Cebu City served as the capital of the far eastern territory claimed by Spain

• Davao -- One of the largest cities in the world in terms of land area. Relatively young when compared with Manila or Cebu, it has grown to become the economic and commercial hub of the southern island of Mindanao. Nearby you'll find the country's tallest mountain (Mount Apo), the endangered Philippine Eagle, and one of priciest orchids in the world, the Waling-waling (Vanda Sanderiana.)
