August 13, Sunday, 11:26p.m. Philippine time Makifakat, you gave a good description of your country, Turkey. That's nice of you to suggest a good topic for Forum visitors. And thanks for those beautiful pictures about Turkey. Turkey is one of my dream countries in the Mediterrean. I don't know why I like Turkey. As if I've seen or visited that country. I hope one day in this lifetime, I could travel to Turkey. I'm from the Philippines – a southeast Asian country. The Philippines is composed of 7,101 islands and islets. The biggest island is Luzon. And Luzon has many islands and islets. There's this Hundred Island in Pangasinan. It is composed of 100 islets. Several of the islets are for rent to tourists. So, if you want an islet for yourself, you can come here and rent one. There's cottages where you can stay. The next island is Mindanao or the South. Muslim is predominant in Mindanao. So, if you're a muslim, you'll feel at ease there because Islam is the predominant religion there. The provinces that comprised Mindanao are beautiful. People are friendly there. It's peaceful there contrary to what the foreign media has been reporting. If you're a Muslim, there are mosques there. Next island is the Visayas Islands. This is composed of many islands and islets , too. The famous Boracay island is in Aklan island province. Boracay has white sand, pristine and many foreigners are already living there because they said it's very beautiful. Our native language is Filipino, and english is a second language here. Our country is a republic and has the presidential system of government. Our monetary system is the Peso. Our population is about 83 million in 2004 census. Predominant religion is Catholicism, and second is Islam, the rest are the different denominations of Protestantism. Nest time I visit Forum, I'll give a better account of our country. And, I hope to read about other countries from other visitors here also. I know there's a lot of interesting things to know about each other's country. Share and write about your country here and through that bridge the friendship among people of the world. I love to hear and read about others account of their beloved country.
