On this article I'm going to share to you some interesting facts about Philippines. The Philippines is an archipelago situated in the Pacific Ocean, comprising over seven thousand islands. It lies on a subduction zone within the geologically active Ring of Fire, which extends from Japan to Alaska and California, making the islands mineral-rich but also prone to destructive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Of the 7,000 islands, only around 1,000 are inhabited, most of them small, roughly one square mile in size. The archipelago is divided into three main island groups: Luzon in the north, the Visayas in the center, and Mindanao in the south. Luzon, home to the capital Manila, is the most populous.
