Philippines
The Philippines is made up of more than 7,000 tropical islands and has a population of 90 million. The country has a tropical marine climate with a dry season (Nov-April ) and a rainy season(May-Oct).
The capital Manila-Metro Manila- is a sprawling cluster of 17 cities with municipalities such as Manila, Quezon, Makati, Pasay, and so on generation a populace to guess at; perhaps start at ten million and keep counting.
Manila has a high population density, with one district having over 68,000people/Km squared, so at times it may feel a little crowded especially if you have just arrived from London which has about 8,000 people/km squared.
Tagalog is the national language and English is used for the official/business purposes.
There are 54 other languages with over 140 dialect variations.
The Philippines has the world’s third largest English speaking population.
