The Philippines is not an integrated piece of land but an archipelago consisting of over 7,000 islands scattered in an area of 300,000 square kilometres in South East Asia. Surrounded by the seas of China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia it is the only Christian state in the region. Amazingly, the diversity of these territorial islands forms a united country. The country’s heritage is a combination of natives who once lived in caves followed much later by a dramatic occupation by the Spanish and then a strong American influence after WWII.
