what do you know about my country, the philippines.

This is a mixture of my little knowledge and my impression: there are many islands, its capital is Manila, it's a touristic place, the main religion is Catholicism, there are often typhoons or something like that, most people are poor, economy does not develop as fast as China and it's less advanced than Taiwan, Singapore or Malaysia (I don't know why), and some people come to Italy to do house working for the richest families, and they seem kind and honest people. Is all correct?

i dont even know where is it at. but you probably dont know where is my country Latvia :)

Fernando de Magallanes and his sailors were the first europeans to arrive in the Philippines. Philippines was a Spanish colony till the end of XIX Century. After the Spanish went out, the Americans stayed. In Second World War Philippines was invaded by Japan. After this war Philippines got to be independent. President Ferdinando Marcos was a long lasting dictator. His wife Imelda had got more shoes than a shoeshop has. Spanish was spoken in Philippines, but nowadays has nearly dissappeared in people's use. Nevertheles, in two or three cities Chabacano (a mix of Spanish and other native languages) is spoken by many people.

Absolutely nothing, other than the fact they've never played at the World Cup? Or haven't in my life-time.

I dont know any... but I wish come to your country next time...

what sort of impression would you like us to have? because I honestly know nothing about the place and would gladly hear about it from someone from there...

A lot of women have to go to different country to work as maids to support the family, I know because I live in Hong Kong and have met some philippines

Philippines is definitely a beautiful country, with lots of tourist destinations to offer as well as the hospitality of its people. You surely wants to come back, once you've been here.
