Seven thousand one hundred and seven beautiful emerald islands scattered on the western edge of the Pacific ocean, the Philippines is grouped into three clusters, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Interestingly almost 4,000 islands spread all over the Philippines are yet unnamed! It is, to historians, a charming blend of east and west, a culture in its own right where prewestern values survive to the present day. Bigger than Britain, this tropical country is only slightly smaller than California or Japan.
Today's visitors find
sun-bathed beaches, old
castilian towns, natural
wonders, exotic fruits
and exquisite cuisine. On
its waters are found
2,000 species of fish and
some of the most
beautiful marine life in
the world.
