About

The Philippines is an equatorial island nation in Southeast Asia, located in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Comprising more than 7,000 islands, it offers rich biodiversity, tropical landscapes, and a cultural heritage shaped by Spanish and American influences. While the country is prone to natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, it benefits from abundant resources and a young, tech-savvy, English-speaking workforce—making it an increasingly attractive destination for international business.
