The Republic of the Philippines is a sprawling archipelago set in the western Pacific Ocean.

The Philippines is an incredibly diverse nation in terms of language, religion, ethnicity and also geography. Ethnic and religious fault-lines that run through the country continue to produce a state of constant, low-level civil war between north and south.

Beautiful and fractious, the Philippines is one of the most interesting countries in Asia."
