Philippines

Dr. Paulo Campos (1921-2007), who built the first radioisotope laboratory in the Philippines, was a specialist in nuclear medicine. You can find more information about him on the Related Link below.

The time in the Philippines would be 9 PM when it is 9 AM in New York. This is because the Philippines is 12 hours ahead of New York.

The two main wind systems that affect the Philippines are the northeast monsoon (Amihan) from November to April, and the southwest monsoon (Habagat) from May to October. These wind systems influence the country's weather patterns, bringing either dry or rainy conditions depending on the season.

The average temperature in April is typically higher than in December in the Philippines. April is generally warmer with temperatures ranging from 27-31°C, while December is cooler with temperatures around 24-28°C.

The province of Catanduanes in the Philippines is often hit by typhoons due to its location in the typhoon belt of the Western Pacific. Its geographical position makes it vulnerable to the frequent passage of tropical cyclones.

The typhoon, officially named Haiyan, but unofficially nicknamed Yolanda in the Philippines, was upgraded recently to a "super typhoon". Meaning it has the same power as a category 5 hurricane.

It is the fourth category 5 storm on this planet in this year alone.

The typhoon is heading directly for central Philippines. However it is very difficult to predict the exact path, because the wind direction can change at any time.

Cebu has been placed on high alert. All schools and government buildings have been shut down. People are panic-buying, causing many stores to shut down too due to completely running out of stock.

The typhoon is predicted to hit land around the Samar-Leyte area on the 8th November 2013, around 10am local time.

The US and British navy which is tracking the typhoon have predicted that the eye of the storm will be over Visayas at 2pm, November 8th (local time).

Daanbantayan is in the far north of Cebu, they should not be affected too badly by the typhoon, but some damage will still likely be caused by the high winds as it passes.

Aurora Borealis means Northern Lights. Philippines is near the equator, so you can not see Northern Lights from the Philippines. IF the Earth tilts more, it may be possible we can see an Aurora Borealis/Australis

The eight primary rays of the sun represent the eight provinces which declared themselves in a state of war as soon as the first revolt was initiated (Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Laguna, and Batangas}.

Places near the equator, like the Philippines, receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. This area also experiences a consistent amount of solar energy due to its proximity to the equator, resulting in a warm climate. Additionally, the warm ocean currents in the region can also contribute to the warm temperatures.

All MAJOR ocean storms are similar but are given diefferent names for example you only here of hurricanes in the atlantic because it is the only place there called hurricanes. In the phillapeans they are called typhoons

So the answer to your question is a typhoon

The Philippines has three major areas that make up the chain of islands, these areas are Luzon, Mindanao and Visayas. Each of the stars on the flag represent one of those major areas of the country.

There are the types called;

* First type- This type has two pronounced seasons (specifically wet and dry).

(Nov-April)

*Second type- This type is characterized by having a pronounced rainy season, and no dry season. (Nov-Jan)

*Third type- This climate is relatively dry. (Nov-April)

*Fourth type- This climate is characterized by an even distribution of rainfall throughout the year.

Paulo C. Campos initiated the construction of the first radioisotope laboratory in the Philippines.

The sun in the Philippines flag has eight rays. The eight rays represent the first eight provinces that revolted against Spanish rule during the Philippine Revolution.

Arturo Alcaraz was a renowned Filipino scientist known for his significant contributions to the field of chemistry, particularly in the development of alternative and renewable energy sources. He is credited with inventing the Alcaraz Process, a method for producing coconut alcohol fuel, which helped address energy issues in the Philippines. Alcaraz's work has had a lasting impact on the country's energy industry and sustainability efforts.

2 pm Pacific Time is 6 am the next day in the Philippines. This is because the Philippines is 15 hours ahead of Pacific Time.

The mineral in question is called magnetite. It is a type of iron ore that is commonly found in both China and the Philippines. Magnetite is used in steel production, light bulbs, and as a component in solid fuel for rockets.

Angel Alcala, Arturo Alcarez, Benjamin Almeda, Julian Banzon etc etc Eduardo Quisumbing was a noted expert in the medicinal plants of the Philippines.

Doctor Fe Del Mundo is credited with studies leading to the invention of an improved incubator and a jaundice relieving device.

Filipino chemist Alfredo Santos is a noted researcher in the chemistry of natural products.

Arturo Alcaraz is a volcanologist specializing in geothermal energy development.

Benjamin Almeda designed a food-processing machine.

Carmen Velasquez was a noted Filipino biologist.

All of them. Constellations that are very far north or south, such as the Little Dipper, will be very low on the horizon, but you should be able to see them if you are on a tall building or on a hillside.

The Philippines is a tropical country, located above the equator. Because of this, Philippines do not get any snow. There are only two seasons in tropical countries like the Philippines; rainy and sunny.

The Philippines is 15 hours ahead of Mountain Standard Time.

Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines has a vent known as a caldera, which is a large volcanic crater formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. So technically, it has one main vent - the caldera formed after the 1991 eruption.

No, Manila is not a state in the Philippines. Manila is the capital city of the Philippines and is located within the National Capital Region (NCR) of the country. The Philippines is divided into regions, provinces, and cities, but not states like in some other countries.
