Luzon, Visayas, and mindanao

I have lived in Visayas and Mindanao and currently in Luzon. The community is different when in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Mindanao is yet, by far, the cleanest place i've been to in this country of ours. Visayas on the other hand has the best foods compared to Luzon and Mindanao. Luzon is the busiest of and is a mile advance when talking about Cities. 

The country’s total land area is approximately 300,000 square kilometers (115,800 square miles) and its coastline of more than 34,400 kilometers (21,500 miles) is the fifth longest in the world.  Its territorial waters cover 212 million hectares. 

​

The Philippines is bounded by three large bodies of water: on the west and north by the South China Sea, on the east by the Philippine Sea and on the south by the Celebes Sea.

The country’s islands are divided into three main groups: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.  Luzon is the major island to the north where the country’s capital, Manila, is located.  The Visayas is a cluster of islands in the middle of the archipelago.  Mindanao is the southernmost island group.

As it is located in the Pacific ring of fire – the most volcanic region on Earth – the Philippines has more than 100 seismic faults spanning both Luzon and Mindanao, as well as 22 active volcanoes and 27 potentially active volcanoes.  Of these volcanoes, Mount Mayon in Albay, with its nearly perfect cone, is the most active.  Taal Volcano in Batangas is considered the world’s smallest volcano.

​

he Philippines ranks 23rd among the most plant species-rich countries of the world, hosting 13,500 plant species, or 5 per cent of the world total.  Almost one-fourth of all these plant species are endemic to the country.One hundred and seventy thousand animal species can also be found in the country.  Of the 230 species of mammals in the islands, 98 are endemic.
