Philippines

Rice is an important staple in the Philippines with a single person eating three cups of rice with every meal. Rice farmers can't keep up to the demand of white rice and to preserve it Filipinos are being urged to eat more brown rice for a healthy alternative.

The Philippines is home to a diverse range of aquatic species due to its extensive coastline and marine habitats. These species include various fish, corals, marine mammals, and invertebrates, many of which are endemic to the region. The country's rich marine biodiversity supports both ecological balance and livelihoods for local communities.

Some active volcanoes in Philippines are Mayon, Bulusan, Smith, Canlaon, Ragaing, Hibuk-Hibok, Didcas, Calayo, Banahaw, Pinatubo, Cagua, Iriga, Biliran, Parker, Matutum, Bud Dajo, and Makaturing.

Some notable waterforms in the Philippines include the Pasig River, Mayon Volcano, and Taal Lake. Landforms in the Philippines include the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, the Banaue Rice Terraces, and Mount Apo, the highest peak in the country.

Philippines has 1,107 islands.

The Civil Service Exam for Sub-professional level in the Philippines covers topics such as vocabulary, grammar and correct usage, paragraph organization, reading comprehension, and numerical reasoning. It also includes questions on clerical operations and rules and regulations related to the civil service. Reviewing past exam questions and studying relevant topics such as Philippine Constitution, general information, and problem-solving skills will help you prepare for the exam. Good luck!

The Philippines has various water forms such as lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and seas. Some notable examples include Taal Lake, Pasig River, Maria Cristina Falls, and the South China Sea. These water forms not only enhance the country's natural beauty but also support various ecosystems and provide resources for its inhabitants.

There are many Filipino biologists that have created inventions. Five of them are Edward Quinto who helped with low-cost natural resources, Prescillano M. Zamora for contributions in plant-animal morphology, natural resources and environmental preservation, Dioscoro Rabor for trying to protect eagles from extinction in the Philippines, Bienvenido Juliano for studying and helping improve Asian rice grain quality, and Edgardo D. Gomez for his work on marine ecosystem preservation.

Dandora dump site in Nairobi, Kenya could well be one of the largest open air dump sites in the world. It is right in the centre of a densely populated housing estate and is not fenced out. The extent of its environmental adversity has unfortunately not been adequately highlighted, in Kenya or internationally.

My understanding of this odd situation is this:

The power generation in the Philippines was originally set up pre-WWII, when it was a colony of the USA. They naturally followed the American standard of 110V, 60Hz.


Later, when the Philippines became independent, they wished to change their power supply to match most of the rest of Asia, i.e. 220v 50Hz. They went ahead, but discovered that the General Electric generators that had been installed in all their power stations only ran at 60 cycles. So, instead of replacing the machines, they simply converted the power supply to 220v, but it remains at 60Hz. This has meant historically that any motorized equipment not specifically designed for this singular situation would either run to fast (110v 50Hz) or wouldn't work at all because the voltage was insufficient to power the motor (220v 60Hz).


With many of today's electronics being multi-voltage/multi Hz, this is increasingly less of a problem, but simpler appliances like hair dryers, turn-tables, microwaves etc. are still problematic.


This is how an old friend who's lived in Manila for 30 years has explained it to me. Any comments on it's accuracy?

Emilio Jacinto is often referred to as the "Brains of the Katipunan" for his writing and strategies that played a crucial role in the Philippine revolution against Spanish colonization. He penned important documents such as the "Kartilya ng Katipunan" that guided the revolutionary movement. Jacinto's commitment to the fight for independence and his dedication to the cause have cemented his legacy in Philippine history.

The time difference between the Philippines and Taipei is one hour, with Taipei being one hour ahead of the Philippines.

Some primitive ways of measuring in the Philippines include using body parts (e.g. handspan for measuring length), natural objects (e.g. stones for weight), and traditional tools like bamboo rulers or different-sized containers (e.g. ganta for volume). These methods were commonly used in rural areas before standardized measuring tools were introduced.

Filipino chemistry refers to the study of chemistry specifically in the context of the Philippines, taking into account local resources, practices, and challenges. Foreign chemistry refers to the study of chemistry in other countries or on a global scale, encompassing a broader range of perspectives, advancements, and applications. The key difference lies in the emphasis on local relevance and global perspectives, respectively.

Yes, there are several agencies in the Philippines that offer DNA testing services. These agencies are usually private laboratories that specialize in various types of DNA testing, such as paternity testing, ancestry testing, and forensic testing. It's recommended to research and choose a reputable and accredited agency for accurate results.

The man who named the Philippines was Ruy Lopez de Villalobos. He gave it the name Las Islas Filipinas which was in honor of Philip II of Spain. The name was changed to the Philippines in the 20th century.

On average, one person in the Philippines uses 162 liters of water per day. This figure includes all domestic uses such as drinking, cooking, sanitation, and bathing. However, this amount can vary depending on individual habits and access to water sources.

It is 8:00 pm in the Philippines. You can try this one coz it's cool http://kenji321.mybrute.com

Yes, potassium iodide is available in the Philippines. It can be found in various pharmacies and drugstores, sometimes under different brand names. It is commonly used to prevent iodine deficiency disorders and in emergency situations involving radiation exposure.
