The Philippine archipelago is a cluster of 7,100

islands breaking off the northern portions of Borneo
and scattering below the islands of Taiwan. Most of the
islands are actually the crests of submerged mountain
ranges, some of them pecked with volcanoes. Warm
and shallow seas teeming with marine life cover the
land bridges that once linked the southern islands to
the mainland Southeast Asia. From the air, the
archipelago is an emerald arc between the Pacific
Ocean and the South China Sea.
