    Post Country Profile - Philippines

    Updated 8 November 2013

    More than 7,000 islands make up the Philippines, but the bulk of its fast-growing population lives on just 11 of them.

    Although endowed with many fine beaches and a growing tourism industry, much of the country is mountainous and prone to earthquakes and eruptions from around 20 active volcanoes. It is often buffeted by typhoons and other storms.

    It has been over a year since the bill was passed in congress. So far it has not been implemented due to continuing debates Hopefully this year we will finally see some action.
