Republic of the Philippines / Republika ng Pilipinas /
Pilipinas
Philippines is in South-eastern Asia, archipelago between the Philippine Sea
and the South China Sea, east of Vietnam.
The Philippine Islands became a Spanish colony during the 16th century; they
were ceded to the US in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. In 1935 the
Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth. Manuel QUEZON was elected
President and was tasked with preparing the country for independence after a
10-year transition. In 1942 the islands fell under Japanese occupation during
WWII, and US forces and Filipinos fought together during 1944-45 to regain
control. On 4 July 1946 the Philippines attained their independence.
The 20-year rule of Ferdinand MARCOS ended in 1986, when a widespread popular
rebellion forced him into exile and installed Corazon AQUINO as president. Fidel
RAMOS was elected president in 1992 and his administration was marked by greater
stability and progress on economic reforms. In 1992, the US closed its last
military bases on the islands.
