Abstract

Spread out like a giant emerald brooch on the velvet bosom of the ocean, the 7, 107 islands that make up the Philippines, named after King Philip II of Spain, lie 600 miles off the southern coast of Asia, sprawling north and south for nearly a thousand miles. West and north of the archipelago is the China Sea, east, the Pacific Ocean, and south, the Sea of Celebes and the coastal waters of Borneo. Eleven islands with an area of 1,000 square miles each comprise 96 percent of the total land area of 116,220 square miles. Luzon, the largest island, lies north; it measures 40,814 square miles. At the south, Mindanao, the second largest island, measures 36,906 square miles. Both account for 70 percent of the land area. The other large islands are Samar, Panay, Negros, Palawan, Mindoro, Leyte, Cebu, Bohol, and Masbate. Only 2,441 of the islands and islets are important enough to be named.
