The geographical setting of any region is
important in the evaluation of the endowed
natural resources Location size and shape of a
certain country are the essential elements that
bear the economic social and political
development of it The geographical location of
the Philippines is very important since it gives
the exact location and land area of the country
It is composed of 7107 islands richly endowed
with natural resources Majority of this islands
are inhabited There are 11 big islands that
comprise the country which are divided into
Luzon Visayas and Mindanao
All in all Philippines is divide into 17 regions with the National Capital Region as the biggest which have different cultures traditions and languages which can result to miscommunication which leads to difficulty in attaining national unity and solidarity
The Philippines enjoys dry and wet seasons throughout the year due to its ideal geographical location Thus this is between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer But on the contrary travel and transportation is difficult here because of its irregular shape elongated and rugged coastline
It fixes the permanent position of the place
on the surface of the globe
An actual place or natural setting
It is expressed in terms of latitude and
longitude and one of the most important
factors that determine its political economic
and physical well-being
Latitude- the angular distances measured
north to south of the equator
Equator- located at the middle of the
northern and southern hemisphere at zero
latitude
Prime Meridian- passes through Greenwich
England and divides the globe into the
eastern and western hemisphere
The Philippines is an archipelago that
consists of an estimated 7 107 islands It lies
between the equator and the Tropic of
Cancer between 4deg23rsquo and 21deg25rsquo north
latitude and between 116degand 127deg east
longitude It is a part of Southeast Asia It is
bounded on the north by the Bashi Channel
on the east by the Pacific Ocean on the
south by the Celebes Sea and on the west by
the China Sea
Locations are used to identify a point or an area on the Earthrsquos surface or elsewhere and it generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place which often indicates an entity with an ambiguous boundary relying more on human or social attributes of place identity and sense of place
The Philippines is located with the reference to Southern Asia and the regions of Indonesia and Australia The archipelago of the Philippines guards the approaches to these regions from the north and from the east This makes the country politically important among the nations of the world and an ideal distribution center of goods within the region This is also the meeting ground of diverse cultures
Luzon ndash includes Luzon Island itself Palawan Mindoro Marinduque Masbate Romblon Catanduanes Batanes Islands and Polilio Island It is located in the northern region of the archipelago
Mindanao- the 2nd largest (after Luzon) in the Philippines in the southern part of the archipelago surrounded by the Bohol Philippine Celebes and Sulu seas This is also known as the ldquoLand of Promiserdquo
Visayas- also called as ldquoVisayas or Bisayasrdquo island group cental Philippines The Visayan group consists of seven large and several hundred smaller islands clustered around the Visayan Samar and Camotesseas The 7 main islands are Bohol Cebu Leyte Masbate Negros Panay and Samar
This is an important factor in evaluating the
economic and political potentialities of a
state
The relative extent of something a thingrsquos
overall dimensions or magnitude how big
something is
The total land area is about 300000 sq
km including about 298000 sq m of land and
about 2000 sq km of water The Philippines
stretches about 1850 km from Yrsquoami Island
in the north to Sibutu Island in the south and
is about 1000 km at its widest point east to
west
Luzon- 105000 sq km
Mindanao- 95000 sq km
Visayas-61077 sq km
As a general rule although small countries
may attain a very high level of cultural and
economic development They are handicapped
by their limited space while large size is a sign
of greatness and high stage of development
The shape of a country is another
geographical element that has a bearing on
its economic social and political
development
Compactness and elongation represent the
two extremes in shape The more compact
the state the smaller is the ratio of its
boundary in relation to its shape
