    PHILIPPINES

    PHILIPPINES
    Background of the Country
    PHILIPPINES – named after King Philip II of Spain
    - An archipelago of 7107 islands
    - Ranked 12 most populated country as of 2018
    - Has 11 languages and 87 dialects
    - Found at South East Asia
    - Filipino and English is the language used.

    Interesting Facts
     The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River in Palawan is 8.2 kilometers long. Until
    the discovery of a 10-kilometer underground river in Mexico, the Puerto Princesa
    River was the longest subterranean waterway in the world.

     The world's largest Christmas lantern was illuminated in San Fernando, Pampanga on
    Dec. 24, 2002. The structure was 26.8 meters in diameter and cost five million
    Philippine pesos.
     Then in 1611, the University of Santo Tomas (or, lovingly, "Usté") was founded in Manila by
    the Dominican Order. It is the world's largest Catholic university in terms of population. Both it
    and University of San Carlos are older than Harvard, which was not founded until 1636.

     The rice terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The terraces
    were built about 2,000 years ago and — thanks to the rough terrain keeping settlers out —
    remain as they would have been in pre-colonial times.

     After the Second World War, the Philippine jeepney was born out of the G.I. Jeeps American
    soldiers brought to the country in the 1940s. It's Pinoy upcycling!

    SONNET I
    By Jose Garcia Villa

    First, a poem must be magical,


    Then musical as sea gull.
    It must be brightness moving
    And hold secret a bird’s flowering.
    It must be slender as a bell,
    And it must hold a fire as well.
    It must have the wisdom of bows
    And it must kneel like a rose.
    It must be able to hear
    The luminance of dove and deer.
    It must be able to hide
    What it seeks, like a bride.
    And over all I would like to hover
    God, smiling from the poem’s cover.
