The Philippines has a tropical marine
climate dominated by a rainy season
and a dry season. The summer
climate brings heavy rains to most of
the areas` from May to October,
whereas the winter climate brings
cooler and drier air from December to
February. Manila and most of the
lowland areas are hot and dusty from
March to May. Even at this time,
however, temperatures rarely rise
above 37° C. And Rarely goes Below
27° C

10. CLIMATE
In the last decade, the Philippines has
suffered severely from natural
disasters. In 1990 alone, Central
Luzon was hit by both a drought,
which sharply curtailed hydroelectric
power, and by a typhoon that flooded
practically all of Manila's streets. Still
more damaging was an earthquake
that devastated a wide area in Luzon,
including Baguio and other northern
areas. The city of Cebu and nearby
areas were struck by a typhoon that
killed more than a hundred people,
sank vessels, destroyed part of the
sugar crop, and cut off water and
electricity for several days.

11. CLIMATE
Building construction is undertaken with
natural disasters in mind. Most rural
housing has consisted of nipa huts
that are easily damaged but are
inexpensive and easy to replace. Most
urban buildings are steel and concrete
structures designed (not always
successfully) to resist both typhoons
and earthquakes. Damage is still
significant, however, and many people
are displaced each year by
typhoons, earthquakes, and other
natural disasters. In 1987 alone the
Department of Social Welfare and
Development helped 2.4 million
victims of natural disasters.

15. BRIEF BACKGROUND/ HISTORY
Philippine history, began in the 13th century, when 10
datus from Borneo, each with a hundred of his
kinsmen, landed in what is now known as Panay
Island in the Visayas.
Yet, it was Magellan and succeeding expeditions
from Spain, who put the Philippine archipelago on
the map of the world. The intrepid Magellan was
dubbed as the discoverer of the Philippines after
he landed in Homonhon Islet, near Samar, on
March 17, 1521. He was later killed in Mactan
Island of Cebu in a clash with native warriors, led
by a chieftain named Lapu-Lapu.
The Philippines before had Many Tribes Including the
Negritos (Small African People) which still Exist it
Some parts of The Philippines. These are Also the
Ancestor of The Philippines

16. BRIEF BACKGROUND/ HISTORY
The Philippines was a prize catch for Spain which, at that
time, was locked in a fierce struggle for world colonization
with Portugal. The archipelago, named Filipinas for Spain's
King Philip II, was composed of 7,107 islands and islets
spanning 1,854 kilometres from north to south. The
Philippines, also a window to the New World, stretched
from China to the north and the Indonesian archipelago to
the south.
Spain's rule lasted from the 16th to the 19th century but
was marked with a series of revolts. When three Filipino
priests were executed for national activities, a group of
reformists formed the Propaganda Movement that would
later paved the way for the Philippine Revolution. A young
doctor-writer, Jose Rizal, was arrested and later executed
by Spanish officials for his scathing criticisms of Spanish
rule in the Philippines through two novels. Rizal, who was
just 30 years old when he was executed, would later be
recognized by historians as Asia's first nationalist. His
contemporaries include Gandhi and Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

17. BRIEF BACKGROUND/ HISTORY
The Philippine Revolution was launched after
Rizal's death and was led first by Andres
Bonifacio and then by Emilio Aguinaldo.
Philippine independence was proclaimed on
June 12, 1898, on the balcony of Aguinaldo's
home in kawit, Cavite. However, the
Philippines was annexed by the Americans by
means of the Treaty of Paris with Spain on
December 10, 1898. This brought about the
Filipino-American War. The Philippines then
remained an American colony for nearly 50
years. In 1935, a semiautonomous Philippine
Commonwealth was inaugurated in Manila,
with President Manuel L. Quezon and Vice-
President Sergio Osmena. This became the
Philippine government in exile during the war.

18. BRIEF BACKGROUND/ HISTORY
From 1941 - 1945, the
Philippines came under the
Japanese empire. A puppet
government, the Second
Philippine Republic, was
established, with President
Manuel A. Roxas. This was
the first fully independent and
internationally recognized
Filipino government.

19. BRIEF BACKGROUND/ HISTORY
The Philippines then became the showcase of democracy in Asia and had peaceful
transition of power through many successive presidents - Roxas, Quirino,
Magsaysay, Garcia, Macapagal, and Marcos. On September 21, 1972,
President Marcos declared Martial Law and pushed through a new
constitution in 1973, which prolonged his stay in power. He jailed his
political rivals, dismissed Congress, silenced media critics, and ruled as a
virtual dictator in what he called "Constitutional Authoritarianism."
On August 21, 1983, his arch-rival, former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino,
returned home from three years of self-exile abroad. At the airport, Aquino
was shot dead by a military assassin. This galvanized the Filipino people to
fight the dictator. And on February 22, 1986, Defence Minister Juan Ponce
Enrile, Deputy Armed Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Fidel V. Ramos, and
reformist military officers broke away from the Marcos camp and prepared to
fight a bloody confrontation with Marcos and his loyalist forces. They were
supported by the "People Power Revolution" of February 22-25, 1986, which
forced Marcos and his party to flee to Hawaii on board the US Air Force
planes.
Mrs. Corazon "Cory" Aquino became the Philippines' First Lady President on
February 25, 1986. She was succeeded by President Fidel V. Ramos in 1992.

Cristo 2.3%, Aglipayan 2%, other Christian 4.5%, other
1.8%, unspecified 0.6%, none 0.1% (2000 census)
The Philippines is a predominantly Christian nation on account of
300 years of Spanish rule. It is estimated that 81% of the
population is Roman Catholic. In the south on the large island of
Mindanao, many are adherents of Islam. Filipino Muslims make
up about five percent of the national population.
There is a Philippine Independent Church, known as Iglesia Filipina
Independiente or Aglipayan Church (after its first head Gregorio
Aglipay); it is affiliated with the Anglican Communion.
Another independent church was founded in 1914 by Felix Manalo; it
is a Unitarian religious organization known as Iglesia ni Cristo.
Missionaries of the Jehovah's Witnesses arrived in the Philippines
during the American colonial rule (1898-1945). There are now
150,000 members in the country.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have 600,000
Mormon members in the Philippines.
Animism or folk religion encompassing indigenous spiritual
traditions from pre-colonial times still prevail even among
baptized members of formal churches. Superstitious beliefs are
widespread.

declared martial law on September 21, 1972. As

24. FAMOUS PEOPLE
Andrés Bonifacio was born in Manila in 1863, the son of a government official. When
both his parents died in the 1870's, he left school to support his five brothers and
sisters. By the mid-1880s, he had become a fervent Filipino nationalist.
After the Spanish arrested Rizal in July 1892, Bonifacio decided that the
Philippines would only achieve independence through revolution. On July 7, he
founded the Katipunan, a secret society open to both peasants and the middle
class. It insinuated itself into the community by setting up mutual aid societies
and education for the poor. By 1896, the Katipunan had over 30,000 members and
functioned at the national, provincial, and municipal levels.
Following the execution of Rizal in 1896, Bonifacio proclaimed Filipino
independence on August 23, 1896. This time, the Spaniards moved against
him, forcing his flight to the Marikina mountains, while other forces headed by
Emilio Aguinaldo were more successful and won control over some towns. When
Bonifacio tried to rein him in, Aguinaldo ordered him arrested and charged with
treason and sedition. He was tried and convicted by his enemies and executed on
May 10, 1897. Today he is regarded as a national hero of the Philippines.
