The Philippines is greatly affected by earthquakes and tropical storms happening every year, all due to the geofrafical location, on the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, the country is endowed with rich natural resources and high biodiversity. The country has a relatively large area of 300,000 square kilometers, with three large islands of Mindanao, Luzon and Visayas. The Philippines’ capital city is Manila. The Philippines is a multi-religious country, but Christianity is the national religion which is practized by around 85% of the population; meanwhile, Muslims account for 10%, Protestantism account for 5%, and the rest of other religions. English is the official language used at schools and offices; and it is widely used in this country.
