The land of 7,000+ islands, epic traffic, Jollibee on every corner, and the world's most hospitable people. It's where you'll find the most beautiful beaches and the most challenging government processes. We complain about it 24/7, but we'll fight anyone who says anything bad about it. The modern, official name is 'Filipinas'.
Named `Las Islas Filipinas` in 1543 by Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos, in honor of Philip II of Spain.
