The Philippines is an archipelago of 7,101 islands and islets. In Southeast Asia. Neighbor to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan. Hongkong.
Three main islands - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Mindanao in the south is predominantly Muslim. So, they are now celebrating their Eid L Fitr. Visayas is a composite of islands and islets. Luzon is the biggest with inland provinces. I am from Central Luzon.
The people of the Philippines is called Pilipinos. We speak different dialects, but predominantly, speak Tagalog. One has to learn to speak the Tagalog vernacular because it is the center of spoken language here. Just like the English language that must be spoken by all people of the world to understand one another.
Our form of government is Presidential and bicameral - just like in the United States.
Ours is one of the longest coastal areas in the world. Many beaches and have lots of water to play water games like scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, jet ski, etc.
Next time, I hope to give more interesting facts about our country. I'll get the facts in order for all to know and learn about us.
I was named after my father whose name was Beverley -- that used to be a more common name for a man but today it is mostly used for females. There are other people who use the name Bev Anne out there although I don't personally know any at the moment. I just know that often when I try to use my name as a user name for Email addresses or on some websites it has already been taken.
Please note - my name is Bev Anne -- this is my first name and what my friends call me. On my birth certificate my first names are Beverley Anne but I have used this shortened version all my life. Usually Ben is a boy's name.
Victoria is even more beautiful than Vancouver and it's also a nicer place to live. Victoria is not as cold in the winter as Denver but spring and summer are definitely better times to visit. Banff is spectacular -- in fact if you drive through the Rocky Mountains from Calgary to Vancouver it is all spectacular.
