Geography Off the coast of eastern Mindanao is the Philippine Trough, which descends to a depth of 10,430 meters. The Philippines is part of a western Pacific arc system that is characterized by active volcanoes. Among the most notable peaks are Mount Mayon near Legaspi, Taal Volcano south of Manila, and Mount Apo on Mindanao. All of the Philippines islands are prone to earthquakes. The northern Luzon highlands, or Cordillera Central, rise to between 2,500 and 2,750 meters, and, together with the Sierra Madre in the northeastern portion of Luzon and the mountains of Mindanao, boast rain forests that provide refuge for numerous upland tribal groups. The rain forests also offer prime habitat for more than 500 species of birds, including the Philippine eagle (or monkey-eating eagle), some 800 species of orchids, and some 8,500 species of flowering plants. The country's most extensive river systems are the Pulangi (Rio Grande), which flows into the Mindanao River; the Agusan, in Mindanao which flows north into the Mindanao Sea; the Cagayan in northern Luzon; and the Pampanga, which flows south from eastCentral Luzon into Manila Bay. Laguna de Bay, southeast of Manila Bay, is the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines. Several rivers have been harnessed for hydroelectric power.

They attained their independence in 1946 after Japanese occupation in World War II. The 21-year rule of Ferdinand MARCOS ended in 1986 when a widespread popular rebellion forced him into exile. In 1992, the US closed its last military bases on the islands. The Philippines has had two electoral presidential transitions since Marcos' removal by "people power." In January 2001, the Supreme Court declared Joseph ESTRADA unable to rule in view of mass resignations from his government and administered the oath of office to Vice President Gloria MACAPAGAL-ARROYO as his constitutional successor. The government continues to struggle with ongoing Muslim insurgencies in the south.

You are in Philippines Geography The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,100 islands extending about 1,150 miles from north to south between Taiwan and Borneo , and about 700 miles from east to west. These islands lie off the southeastern coast of the Asian mainland, across the South China Sea and are in a strategic zone between China , Taiwan , Borneo and Indonesia that has made the islands of the Philippines a cultural and trading crossroads over the centuries.

With these numerous islands, the Philippines has one of the largest coastlines of any country with about 22,549 miles of coast; this coast is irregular with many bays, gulfs and inlets, which create many natural harbors and enhance both trading and fishing. Manila Bay has a superb sheltered harbor and is thus the most economically important bay. The Philippine islands are naturally divided into three main geographic areas: the northern islands of Luzon and Mindoro ; the central islands of the Visayas and Palawan , and the southern islands of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. These three regions are represented by the three stars in the Philippine flag. The two largest islands: Luzon and Mindanao together make up two-thirds of the total land mass and only nine other islands have an area of more than one thousand square miles.
