 Physical setting

The nation claims an exclusive economic

zone (EEZ) of 200 nautical miles (370 km)
from its shores. The Philippines occupies an
area that stretches for 1,850 kilometers (1,150
mi) from about the fifth to the twentieth
parallels north latitude.
Topographically, the Philippines is broken
up by the sea, which gives it one of the
longest coastlines of any nation in the
world.

Climate

The Philippines has a tropical wet climate

dominated by a rainy season and a dry
season. But the Philippines sit astride the
typhoon belt, and it suffers an annual
onslaught of dangerous storms from July
through October. These are especially
hazardous for northern and eastern Luzon
and the Bicol and Eastern Visayas regions,
but Manila gets devastated periodically as
well.
