The Philippines is rich in various mineral resources, including copper, gold, chromite, nickel, and iron. Other minerals present in the country include limestone, silica, coal, and marble. The Philippines is known for its significant mineral deposits and is a leading producer of minerals in the Southeast Asian region.

The saltiest body of water in the Philippines is the Sulu Sea. It is located between the southwestern islands of the Philippines and the northern coast of Borneo. The high salinity levels in the Sulu Sea are influenced by evaporation and limited freshwater input.

The Philippines has many epics because of its rich oral tradition that has been passed down through generations. These epics serve as a way to preserve cultural history, teach moral lessons, and entertain listeners. The diverse cultural groups in the Philippines each have their own unique epics, contributing to the vast collection found in the country.

Since Tagalog (Philippine language) is derived from Spanish, the term "ninong" is presumably derived from the Spanish word "padrino". "Padrino" means godfather and Spanish speaking people may call a padrino, "nino" for short. Hence, ninong from nino.

However, this is very presumptive, untrue and baseless to the least. "Ninong" and "Ninang" are pure tagalog titles for sponsors for marriages, and later, for baptism who were to act as second parents of the children to be baptized or couples to be married according to the age old rites of the tagalog natives. Take note that tagalog language was indigenous as people who spoke it, as ancient as the cantonese, hokkien and other Chinese languages and European or African dialects as revealed, say, in a Rosetta stones. It follows, therefore, that the tagalog "ninong" and "ninang" were ancient terms of endearment of the tagalog natives just like the spanish "padrino".

The biggest and most active volcano in the world is a shield cone, Mauna Loa on Hawai'i Big Island. Its measurement, this includes below sea level, is more than 17,000 meteors that's 56,000 feet

The bamboo tree and man share characteristics such as growth potential and resilience. Both have the ability to endure challenges and setbacks, growing stronger and taller over time. Additionally, both require nurturing and care to reach their full potential. However, the bamboo tree tends to exhibit faster growth and adaptability in changing environments compared to man.

Filipino values such as respect, courtesy, and warmth play a significant role in communication effectiveness. These values help build rapport and trust, leading to open and honest communication. Understanding and practicing these values can enhance understanding and reduce misunderstandings in interactions.

As far as I know, there is no Filipino yet to achieve a Nobel Prize. Indeed, Filipinos are undoubtedly very talented, but maybe their talents are not enough to a deserve a Nobel. But if they really deserve a Nobel award, then maybe there's something "fishy" going on inside the organization... (discrimination?, conspiracies?)..

Maybe same reasons also apply why there is NO pure Filipino Hollywood actor, NBA player, or a single gold medalist in Olympics (Yes, NO gold medal!!). I remember Onoc Velasco, who really deserved gold medal but landed only on silver because of scoring errors.

There are two probable reasons:

1. Filipino talent is NOT WORLD-CLASS.

OR

2. Filipino talent is World Class, BUT maybe the rest of the world have hidden jealousy or anger against the Filipinos, that's why they are deprived of such awards and honors.

Who knows?

How pity for the Philippines...

The Philippines produced 56.5 billion kWh of electricity in 2005.

In response to the 1973 oil crisis, the Philippines decided to build the two-unit Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). Construction of Bataan 1 - a 621 MWe Westinghouse pressurized water reactor - began in 1976 and it was completed in 1984 at a cost of $460 million. However, due to financial issues and safety concerns, the plant was never loaded with fuel or operated. In April 2007, the Philippine government made the final payment for the plant. The government was considering converting it into a natural gas-fired power plant, but this was impractical, and the plant has simply been maintained.

In 2007 the Philippines Department of Energy (DOE) set up a project to study the development of nuclear energy, in the context of an overall energy plan for the country. Nuclear energy would be considered in order to reduce the country's dependency on imported oil and coal. In 2008 an IAEA mission commissioned by the government advised that Bataan-1 could be refurbished and economically and safely be operated for 30 years. Refurbishment is estimated to cost $800 million. The IAEA was also to recommend a policy framework for nuclear power development in the country.

The government is establishing a working group with a view to proceeding along the same lines as Thailand, retaining engineering consultants to guide progress.

42.2 °C (108 °F) on 11 May 1969 in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, breaking the 39.5 °C (103.1°F ) temperature recorded on 29 April 1912 also in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan .

Hi. If you are in Mindanao you can buy rubber tree seedlings somewhere in Kidapawan City and Davao City. It depends on where you are. In surigao Del Sur and Agusan Del Norte and Agusan Del Sur the closest area to buy I know is in San Francisco Agusan Del Sur. My parents are selling seedlings but not the budded seedlings so it is not good if you were from far off Surigao Sur. Although my uncle who's a buyer of latex (sap from rubber trees) around Surigao and Agusans, and Davao Norte also sells budding a year ago cost 40pesos each he also knows some place who can produce plenty only 10 pesos if nod budding.

Palawan has the largest forest in the Philippines. Did you know that almost all of the Philippines was once completely forested? As of 1988, Palawan contained 7,410 square kilometers (km2 )(54 percent) of total forest remaining. At the time this was the highest percentage of any of the Philippines' large islands. Palawan itself is the sixth largest of the Philippine Islands. Sad to say, habitat destruction like logging and shifting cultivation/slash-and-burn (kaingin) brought much threat to the diverse fauna and flora of the ecoregion. Today, scores of animal species and plants are endemic, endangered or threatened. - Manuelle Gwen I. Bayeng

You can try searching for images of Filipino chemists and their discoveries on online image databases, academic websites, or the personal websites of the researchers themselves. Additionally, you may find relevant images in articles, research papers, or books that feature Filipino chemists and their work.

The process of bringing a Filipino spouse to the US through marriage could take anywhere from 8 months to 2 years or more, depending on various factors such as the type of visa being applied for, the processing times of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the completion of required paperwork and interviews. The process involves filing a petition, completing forms, attending interviews, and meeting specific requirements set by the government.

The basic properties of the states of matter are as follows:

• Solid: Definite shape and volume, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions.
• Liquid: Definite volume but takes the shape of its container, particles are close together but can flow past one another.
• Gas: No definite shape or volume, fills the entire space of its container, particles are far apart and move freely.

A theory about the people of the Philippines is that they are purposely kept in poverty by the government. This is so that they spend all of their time trying to survive instead of coming together to overthrow the communist government so things can change.
