Geographical Features

Some of the outstanding physical features of The Philippines are the configuration of the archipelago, the northward trend of the river systems, and their lakes. There are about 50 volcanoes, but only more than 10 are known to be active and that’s why there is relatively little volcanic activity. The Laguna de Bay is the largest lake and the second largest is the Lake Sultan Alonto. The Sierra Madre is the longest mountain range in the country. Tremors and earthquakes are common because of its relief.

Government

The Philippines is a Republic. The power is divided between three independent branches. The legislative power is the one in charge of creating and deleting laws. The executive power is the one in charge of managing and running the state, ruling public institutions and diplomatic relationships. The last one is the Judicial power, that is in charge of embracing the application of law and making sure it is applied. The official name of the country is Republika Ng Pilipinas.
