Philippines

The Philippine archipelago defines much of the Philippines — more than 7,000 islands support coastal fishing, seafaring and trade across the western Pacific. Luzon, the largest island, contains Manila, while Mindanao lies to the south; between them, the Visayas form a dense central island region. The Sierra Madre runs along eastern Luzon, and the Cordillera Central rises in its north. The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras are recognised by UNESCO, while Manila’s walled district of Intramuros recalls the Spanish colonial period. Fiestas, often linked to parish traditions, remain an important part of community life. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Southeast Asia connects regionally.
