Now, in general, many people will refer to one of the three main island cluster regions that people are part of their lips sewn in the north, where you can find the capital, Manila, and where the half of the population lives messiah in the center and Mindanao in the south.

Otherwise, the nation is made up of 17 regions, one of which is autonomous Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, off Muslim means.

And now this place has a high level of self rule and autonomy appointed by the government will explain more about this later if you want to be absolutely technical guess.

In city a bit north of Manila is the largest city in the Philippines.

However, the surrounding 16 towns and cities by Manila are called Manila Metro for the National Capital Region, and they basically act as one unit, otherwise the largest city outside of the n.

Finally, the Philippines has only two territorial disputes.

The state of Sabah in Malaysia, on North Borneo, George Orry ones have been part of the Sultanate of Solu, a Muslim state that existed the 15th century to the 20th century.

As for the others dispute, as we mentioned quite a few times already, this whole area known as the Spratly Islands is a complete mess.

And when they spot a ship that gets too close, things could get kind of ugly.

I'm just doing some fishing and research here, you know?

Well, technically, there's old land protruding from this reef.

So, uh, there's no land claim, so you're just gonna build your own land for research anyway, Here's some notable spots of interest for it.

Yeah, when you have 7000 tropical islands on a volcanic archipelago, chances are things can get pretty crazy.

Landscape wise, which brings us to the actual physical land of the Philippines is the biggest treasure you will find here for sure.

Anyway, the Philippines lies on the ring of Fire and it specifically on a tectonic plate named after them.

The Philippine plate in about 95% of the land is made up of the 11 largest islands.

They can come at almost any time of the year.
