Philippines is an island nation in South-East Asia situated in the western Pacific Ocean. This country consists of 7,107 islands that are categorized broadly under three main geographical divisions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Its capital city is Manila while its most populous city is Quezon City - both are part of Metro Manila.
The history of the Philippines begins with its first inhabitants arriving via primitive boats nearly 67,000 years ago. Various tribes roamed the islands until small kingdoms began establishing roots during the first millennium.
For several centuries there was no unifying power within the Philippine archipelago, as the islands were controlled by various sultans.
