The Tropic of Capricorn is located at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude, while the Philippines is situated between about 5 degrees north and 21 degrees north latitude. Therefore, the country lies entirely in the tropics, but north of the Tropic of Capricorn.
The Sun is never directly overhead at noon for an observer at locations above the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude) or below the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees south latitude). This is because the Sun is directly overhead at noon at least once a year along the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn as a result of Earth's axial tilt.

The sun's declination migrates through the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn over the course of a year due to the Earth's axial tilt. This results in the changing of seasons in different parts of the world as the sun's direct rays shift between the northern and southern hemispheres.
