WOW Philippines!
The Republic of the Philippines, also known as "the
Pearl of the Orient", is an archipelago of 7,107 islands with a
total land area of approximately 300,000 square kilometers and is
just a little more than 1,200 kilometers away from mainland Asia.
It is a tropical archipelago with thousands of coconut and palm
tree lined white sand beaches
and Adventure Tours to take you there.
The Philippines is a founding and active member of
the United Nations. The Philippines is also a founding and prominent
member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), an
active member in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and
the Group of 24. The Philippines is a major non-NATO ally of the
United States.
The Philippines is divided into three major island
groups: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Manila, on the island of Luzon,
is the country's capital and is the second largest city after Quezon
City, also in Luzon.
Today, some of the most popular past times of Filipinos
include basketball (Philippine Basketball Association), Philippine
Food and dining out in general. Night life in the Philippines is
also very alive. Friendster in the Philippines is also very popular.
As for the economy, one cannot deny that the boom of Call Centers
in the Philippines played a major role in the improvement of the
economy, general Philippine
Business and the strengthening of the Philippine Peso. The IT
industry is also one of the top industries in the Philippines, with
our talented and relatively cheaper pool of IT professionals.
Philippine weather is hot, humid, and tropical. This
is mainly the reason why Philippine tourism is booming as westerners
try to escape the cold weather, taking refuge in the Philippines'
abundant beaches filles with coconut
trees and white sand. The average yearly temperature is around 26.5
degrees Celsius. The 3 seasons are: the hot season or summer from
March to May, the rainy season from June to November, and the cold
season from December to February.
The highest point in the Philippines
is Mount Apo in Davao at 2,954 meters above sea level. Many volcanoes
in the country, such as Mount Pinatubo, are active. The Philippines
is also across the typhoon belt of the Western Pacific and is hit
by an average of 20 typhoons per year. She also experiences frequent
seismic and volcanic activities being on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The Philippine Government has been promoting Philippine
Tourism with their worldwide campaign, WOW
Philippines.
