Philippines Portal
The Philippines (Filipino: Pilipinas), officially the Republic of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas), is an island nation located in the Malay archipelago in Southeast Asia, with Manila as its capital. It comprises 7,107 islands called the Philippine Archipelago, with a total land area of approximately 300,000 square
kilometers or 116,000 square miles.
The Filipinos came from Austronesian-speaking peoples, but there are also some Filipinos of mixed descent, known as mestizos, through intermarriage with the
Spanish, Chinese or other nationalities.[citation needed]
The country was named "Las Islas Filipinas" by Ruy López de Villalobos after King Philip II of Spain. A Spanish colonial rule began in 1565 and lasted for about three
centuries until the Philippine Revolution of 1896. The United States gained possession of the Philippines after the Spanish-American War in 1898 and ruled the country for about five decades. Philippine culture has many affinities with the West. Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion, and English is an official language,
along with Filipino.
The Philippines is a significant source of migrant workers; there are over 9 million overseas Filipinos and their remittances exceed $12 billion a year, an amount that
forms a significant portion of the Philippines' gross national product.[citation needed]
Moreover, the country exports more than one million of its nationals abroad annually through its overseas employment program. Due to this, the Filipino diaspora has become the third largest among overseas ethnicities.[citation needed]

History
Main article: History of the Philippines
Archeological and paleontological evidence suggests that Homo sapiens existed in Palawan about 50,000 years ago.
Sailing for the Spanish, Ferdinand Magellan (Fernão de Magalhães in Portuguese) was the first European to visit the archipelago, arriving in 1521. Miguel López de Legazpi arrived in 1565 and formed the first Spanish settlements, and paved the
way for colonization. Roman Catholic missionaries converted most of the inhabitants. In the next 300 years, the Spanish military fought off various local
indigenous revolts and various external colonial challenges. Such challenges came from the British, Chinese, Dutch, French, Japanese, and Portuguese. The most
significant loss for Spain was the temporary occupation of the capital by the British during the Seven Years' War. The Philippines was ruled as a territory of New Spain
from 1565 to 1821, before it was administered directly from Spain. The Manila Galleon which linked Manila to Acapulco (New Spain) once or twice a year, began in the late 16th century. The Philippines opened itself to world trade on September 6, 1834. A propaganda movement began in the Spanish mainland, which included
José Rizal. This was done in order to inform the government of the injustices of the administration in the Philippines as well as the abuses of the friars. In the 1880s and
the 1890s, the propagandists clamored for political and social reforms, which included demands for greater representation in Spain. Unable to gain the reforms,
Rizal returned to the country, and pushed for the reforms locally. Rizal was subsequently arrested, tried, and executed for sedition on December 30, 1896. Earlier that year, the Katipunan, led by Andrés Bonifacio, already started a
revolution, which was eventually continued by Emilio Aguinaldo, who established a revolutionary government, although the Spanish governor general Fernando Primo
de Rivera proclaimed the revolution was over in May 17, 1897.[1]
The Spanish-American War began in 1898 and reached the Philippines when Commodore George Dewey defeated the Spanish squadron at the Manila Bay.
Aguinaldo declared the independence of the Philippines on June 12, 1898, and was proclaimed head of state. Spain ceded the Philippines, together with Cuba, Guam
and Puerto Rico to the United States. By 1899, the Philippine-American War ensued between the two, which continued the violence of the previous years. That war
ended when Aguinaldo was captured by American troops on March 23, 1901. The colonial administration of the Americans introduced democracy in the Philippines.
The status was turned into that of a commonwealth in 1935, which provided for more self-governance. Plans for independence in the next decade were underway, although this was interrupted by World War II, when Japan invaded the country.
Independence was granted on July 4, 1946.[1]
Since 1946, the newly independent Philippine state has faced economic and political instability and various rebel groups. The late 1960s and early 1970s saw the rise of
128
student activism and civil unrest. Ferdinand Marcos was then, the elected president. Barred from seeking a third term, Marcos declared martial law on September 21,
1972, ruled the country by decree, and extended both his power and tenure by force. His authoritarian rule became marred with unmitigated, pervasive corruption,
cronyism and despotism. In 1981, martial law was lifted, and Marcos remained as president after an election in 1981.[1]
Opposition leader Benigno Aquino, Jr. was assassinated on August 21, 1983 upon returning from exile. In January 1986, Marcos allowed for "snap" elections, after
large protests. The election was believed to be fraudulent, and resulted in a standoff between military mutineers and the military loyalists. Protesters supported the mutineers, and was accompanied by resignations of prominent cabinet officials.
Corazon Aquino, the wife of Benigno Aquino, Jr., was the recognized winner of the snap election. She took over government, and drafted a new constitution, after the 1986 EDSA Revolution. Marcos, his family, and along with some of his allies were
exiled to Hawaii.[1]
The return of democracy and government reforms after the events of 1986 was hampered by massive national debt, government corruption, coup attempts, a
communist insurgency, and a Muslim separatist movement. The economy improved during the administration of Fidel V. Ramos, who was elected in 1992. However, the economic improvements were negated at the onset of the East Asian financial crisis in 1997. The 2001 EDSA Revolution led to the downfall of the following president,
Joseph Estrada. The current administration of president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has been hounded by allegations of corruption and election rigging.[1]

The government of the Philippines is organized as a presidential-unitary republic, where the President functions as head of state, the head of government, and the
commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is elected by popular vote to a 6-year term, during which he or she appoints and presides over the cabinet of
secretaries.[1]
131
The bicameral Congress comprises the Senate and the House of Representatives; members of the former are elected at large and those of the latter by geographical district. The 24 senators serve 6-year terms, with half retiring every three years,
while the House of Representatives comprises 250 members serving 3-year terms.[1]
The judicial branch of government is headed by the Supreme Court, with a Chief Justice as its head and 14 associate justices, all appointed by the President from
nominations submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council. Other courts include the Court of Appeals, the Regional Trial Courts and the Metropolitan Trial Courts.[1]
As of June 2006 President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is hoping to get agreement to amend the constitution to a unicameral parliament under a federal setting similar to
the German constitution. The country would be split into "states" with each one having a local legislature responsible for certain functions. Included in the
amendments are plans to remove/ease the current ban on foreign ownership of property, land and commercial organizations in the Philippines. Plans have been
announced to decentralize government by moving departments from Manila to the provinces, such as the Department of Tourism to Cebu City, the Department of
Foreign Affairs to Angeles City, and the Department of Agrarian Reform to Iloilo City.[citation needed]
The Philippines is a founding and active member of the United Nations since its inception on October 24, 1945 and is a founding member of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The Philippines is also a member of the East Asia Summit (EAS), an active player in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Latin Union and a member of
the Group of 24. The country is a major non-NATO ally of the U.S., but also a member of the Non-Aligned Movement.[1]

The Philippines, along with the nation of Malta, is one of two nations in the world where all civil marriages are for life, because civil divorce is banned.[citation needed]
The Philippines is currently in a dispute with Taiwan, China, Vietnam and Malaysia over the oil- and natural gas-rich Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal, and with
Malaysia over Sabah. The Sultan of Sulu, who received Sabah as a gift in 1703 having helped the Sultan of Brunei defeat a rebellion, has given the Philippine
Government power to reclaim his lost territory. To this day, the Sultan of Sulu's family receives "rental" payments for Sabah from the Malaysian government.

Administrative divisions
Main article: Subdivisions of the Philippines
133
Provinces and regions of the Philippines
The Philippines is divided into a hierarchy of local government units (LGUs) with the 79 provinces as the primary unit. Provinces are further subdivided into cities
and municipalities, which are in turn composed of barangays. The barangay is the smallest local government unit.[citation needed]
The Philippines is divided into 17 regions with all provinces grouped into one of 16 regions for administrative convenience. The National Capital Region however, is
divided into four special districts.[citation needed]
Most government offices establish regional offices to serve the constituent provinces. The regions themselves do not possess a separate local government, with the
exception of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.[citation needed]
On July 24, 2006, the State of the Nation Address of President Arroyo announced the proposal to create 5 economic super regions in order to concentrate on the
economic strengths in a specific area.[2]

Geography of the Philippines
The Philippines constitutes an archipelago of 7,107 islands with a total land area of approximately 300,000 square kilometres (116,000 sq. mi ). It lies between 116° 40'
and 126° 34' E. longitude, and 4° 40' and 21° 10' N. latitude, and borders the Philippine Sea on the east, on the South China Sea the west, and the Celebes Sea on the south. The island of Borneo lies a few hundred kilometers southwest and Taiwan directly north. The Moluccas and Sulawesi are to the south, and Palau is to the east
beyond the Philippine Sea.[1]
The islands are commonly divided into three island groups: Luzon (Regions I to V, NCR and CAR), Visayas (VI to VIII), and Mindanao (IX to XIII and ARMM). The busy port of Manila, on Luzon, is the national capital and second largest city after
its suburb Quezon City.[1]
The local climate is hot, humid, and tropical. The average yearly temperature is around 26.5°C (79.7°F). There are three recognized seasons: Tag-init or Tag-araw (the hot season or summer from March to May), Tag-ulan (the rainy season from June to November), and Taglamig (the cold season from December to February). The southwest monsoon (May-October) is known as the "habagat" and the dry winds of the northeast monsoon (November-April) as the "amihan".[citation needed]
136
Most of the mountainous islands used to be covered in tropical rainforest and are volcanic in origin. The highest point is Mount Apo on Mindanao at 2,954 metres
(9,692 ft). There are many active volcanos such as Mayon Volcano, Mount Pinatubo, and Taal Volcano. The country also lies within the typhoon belt of the Western
Pacific and about 19 typhoons strike per year.[citation needed]
Lying on the northwestern fringes of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activities. Some 20 earthquakes are
registered daily in the Philippines, though most are too weak to be felt. The last great earthquake was the 1990 Luzon earthquake.[citation needed]
The longest river is the Cagayan River of northern Luzon. The nearly circular Manila Bay, is connected to the Laguna de Bay by means of the Pasig River. Subic
Bay, the Davao Gulf and the Moro Gulf are some of the important bays. Transversing the San Juanico Strait is the San Juanico Bridge, that connects the
islands of Samar and Leyte.[citation needed]

Economy

The Philippines is a developing country with an agricultural base, light industry, and service-sector economy. The Philippines has one of the most vibrant business
process outsourcing (BPO) industries in Asia. Numerous call centers and BPO firms have infused momentum into the Philippine market, generating thousands of jobs,
including Fortune 500 companies.[citation needed]
The resiliency of the Philippine economy due to low foreign inflows and an agriculture-based economy allowed it to snap back from international crises as evidenced by 3 percent growth in 1999 and accelerated to 4 percent in 2000. By 2004, the Philippine economy catapulted to over 6 percent growth after the East
Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo pledged to turn the country into a First world state by 2020.[citation needed]
Government initiatives are designed to match the pace of development in the newly industrialized countries (NICs) of East Asia. Economic strategies are implemented to manage a public debt comprising 93 percent of the GDP. This priority manifests
as a budget allocation set higher than the budget for education and defense combined. The Philippine middle class is essential to economic prosperity. Although proportionately smaller, the Philippine middle class is scheduled to grow.[citation needed]
138
Strategies for streamlining the economy include improvements of infrastructure, more efficient tax systems to bolster government revenues, furthering deregulation
and privatization of the economy, and increasing trade integration within the region and across the world.[citation needed]
On November 1, 2005, a newly expanded value added tax (E-VAT) law was instituted as a measure to bridle the rising foreign debt and to improve government
services such as education, healthcare, social security, and transportation. As of 2006, The Philippines' economic prosperity also depends in large part on how well its two biggest trading partners' economies perform: the U.S. and Japan.[citation needed]
The Philippines is a member of the Asian Development Bank, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and other international economic associations, such as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the World Trade Organization
(WTO), the Colombo Plan, and the G-77.[citation needed]
In 2005, the Philippine peso was said to be Asia's best-performing currency.[3] The Philippines' 1st quarter GDP growth was within the government's programmed
growth of 5.5% buoyed by the rebound of the agriculture sector and a strong service sector performance however, the economy is still vulnerable to high world oil prices and political instability. There are few promising developments though:
one is the strong fiscal performance that the government has put in place; another is the mining boom, which will help generate additional revenues and additional jobs but may permanently damage the environment. The country’s export rose by more
than 15 percent in January-April this year, while investments increased by $2 billion over that of the same four-month period last year.[citation needed]
Despite the growing economy, the Philippines will have to address several chronic problems in the future. Income inequality remains persistent; about 30 million people lived on less than $2 per day in 2005. China and India have emerged as
major economic competitors, siphoning away investors who would otherwise have invested in the Philippines, particularly telecom companies. Regional development is also somewhat uneven, with the main island Luzon and Metro Manila gaining most
of the new economic growth at the expense of the other regions.[citation needed]

Populaiton growth of the Philippines.
139
The Philippines is the world's 12th most populous country, with a population of over 90 million as of 2006[4]. Roughly two-thirds reside on the island of Luzon.
Manila, the capital, is the eleventh most populous metropolitan area in the world. The literacy rate was 92.5% in 2003[5], and about equal for males and females[6]. Life
expectancy is 69.91 years, with 72.28 years for females and 66.44 years for males. Population growth per year is about 1.92 percent, with 26.3 births per 1,000 people.
In the 100 years since the 1903 Census, the population has grown by a factor of eleven. This represents a much faster rate of growth than other countries in the
region (Indonesia has grown five-fold over the same period).
[edit]
Ethnic groups
Main article: Ethnic groups of the Philippines
The people of the Philippines are called Filipinos. Most Filipinos are descended from the various Austronesian-speaking migrants who arrived in successive waves over a thousand years ago from Southeast Asia. These ethnic Filipinos are divided
into various ethnolinguistic groups, the three most numerous being the Bisaya, Tagalogs, and the Ilocanos. They are genetically closely related to the Taiwanese
aborigines, Malays of Malaysia and Indonesia, and the Polynesians. The Negritos or Aetas are the aboriginal inhabitants of the Philippines, and number less than 30,000
people (0.03 percent). Filipinos of Chinese descent, who had been settling in the Philippines since pre-Hispanic times, currently forms the largest non-Austronesian
ethnic group, claiming about 2% of the population. Other significant minorities include Americans, South Asians, and Europeans (particularly Spaniards).
According to a Stanford University small-sample study, about 3.65% of Filipinos are partly of European descent.
[edit]
Languages
Main article: Languages of the Philippines
More than 170 languages are spoken in the country, almost all of them belonging to the Western Malayo-Polynesian language group of the Austronesian language
family. According to the 1987 Constitution, Filipino, heavily based on Tagalog, and English are both the official languages. The twelve major regional languages are the
auxiliary official languages of their respective regions, each with over one million speakers: Tagalog, Cebuano. Ilokano, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Bikol,
Kapampangan, Pangasinan. Kinaray-a, Maranao, Maguindanao and Tausug. English is used by some Filipinos as their first language, particularly those
belonging to the upper echelons of society.
140
The Lan-nang-oe variant of Min Nan Chinese dialect is widely spoken by the country's Chinese minority.
Spanish and Arabic are also used as auxiliary languages. The use of Spanish in the Philippines as the original official language of the country has declined. Currently,
only a few Mestizo families speak it as their first language. The use of Arabic is prevalent among the Filipino Muslims. It is taught in madrasah (Muslim) schools.

Religion

The Philippines is the fifth-largest Christian nation, after the United States, Brazil, Mexico, and Russia.[citation needed] About 93 percent of all Filipinos are Christians: 83
percent belong to the Roman Catholic Church, 2.6 percent belong to the Philippine Independent Church, and about 5 percent belong to various Protestant
denominations.[1] Although Christianity is a major force in the culture of the Filipinos, a small minority practices animism with indigenous traditions and rituals.
Approximately 5 percent of Filipinos are Muslim. They primarily live in parts of Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago. Most lowland Muslim Filipinos practice
normative Islam, although the practices of some Mindanao's hill tribe Muslims reflect a fusion with animism. The Muslims have resisted conquest and conversion for centuries by the Spanish and the Americans. Various Muslim groups have been
waging a decades-long armed campaign against the Philippine government for political self-determination.
There are also small populations of Buddhists, Hindus, and Jews.

Culture

Main article: Culture of the Philippines
A Philippine Jeepney
Filipino culture is largely a fusion of the indigenous traditions of the Philippines, with the Hispanic and American cultures. It has also been significantly influenced
by Chinese, Indonesian and Indian cultures.
The Hispanic influences in Filipino culture are largely derived from the culture of Spain and Mexico as a result of over three centuries of Spanish colonial rule through Mexico City. These Hispanic influences are most evident in Roman
Catholic Church religious festivals. Filipinos hold major festivities known as barrio fiestas to commemorate their patron saints. The most obvious Hispanic legacy,
however, is the prevalence of Spanish surnames among Filipinos. This peculiarity, unique among the people of Asia, came as a result of a colonial decree for the
systematic distribution of family names and implementation of the Spanish naming system on the inhabitants of the Philippines. A Spanish surname in the Philippines
doesn't necessarily denote Hispanic heritage.[citation needed]
The Chinese influences in Filipino culture are most evident in Filipino cuisine. The prevalence of noodles, known locally as mami, are a testament of the Chinese
cuisine. Other Chinese influences include linguistic borrowings and the occasional Chinese derived surnames.
The use of English within the Philippines is America's most obvious legacy. The most commonly played and arguably the national sport in the Philippines is
basketball. Indeed, there is a wide emulation of other American cultural trends, such as the love of fast-food; many street corners boast fast-food outlets. Aside from
the American commercial giants such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, and Shakey's, local fast-food chains have also sprung up, including Jollibee,
Greenwich Pizza, and Chowking. Filipinos listen to American music, watch American movies, and admire American actors and actresses, although Asian trends
and culture have begun making inroads to the locals.
In spite of this, native moral codes, respect of family, veneration of elders, and friendliness, all remain intact. Filipinos honor national heroes whose works and
deeds contributed to the shaping of the Filipino nation. José Rizal is the most celebrated ilustrado, a Spanish-speaking reformist visionary whose writings
142
contributed greatly in nurturing a sense of national identity and awareness. His novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo originally written in Spanish, are
required readings for Filipino students, and provide vignettes of colonial life under the Spanish rule. They give a sense of Filipino identity and historical continuity.
Ninoy Aquino, the charismatic leader against the Marcos dictatorship, is a highly revered martyr of the People Power revolution.
As with many cultures, music is an important aspect of the Filipino social fabric (see Traditional Filipino music and Music of the Philippines).
