Information: The Republic of the Philippines is a archipelago consisting of 7107 islands to the west of the Pacific Ocean, 100 km to the southeast of the Asian continent. It is the only country with a majority of Catholics in the area, and one of the most westernized. Spain and the United States, which have both colonized the country, have had a great influence on the culture of that country, which is a unique mix between the West and the East. The archipelago is bordered to the east by the Philippine Sea, to the west by the China Sea and to the south by the Celebes Sea. To the south we can find the Celebes Island and the Maluku archipelago located in Indonesia, to the southwest the port of Borneo in Malaysia, to the north Taiwan and to the east at 500 km the Palaos.
