The Phillipine islands were under one umbrella: The Archipelago Philipines. These are small and big islands, many in numbers...but always ruled under one power. Well, from time to time foreign powers ruled the archipelago, and some numbered islands exit or in in the archipelago. Here is a part of the history, how it looked like over time:

The Philippines is an archipelago that consists of 7,641 islands with a total land area of 301,780 square kilometers (116,518 sq miles).The 11 largest islands contain 95% of the total land area. The largest of these islands is Luzon at about 105,000 square kilometers (40,541 sq mi). The next largest island is Mindanao at about 95,000 square kilometers (36,680 sq miles). The archipelago is around 800 kilometers (500 mi) from the Asian mainland and is located between Taiwan and Borneo.
