The map of the Philippines provides a detailed representation of the geographic and political features of the country, including its major cities, provinces, islands and water bodies. The capital, Manila, is prominently marked along with other major urban centers such as Cebu, Davao and Zamboanga. The archipelago consists of over 7,600 islands, of which the three main island groups are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The map shows national parks, major roads, airports and mountain peaks, such as Mount Apo (2,954 meters), the highest peak in the Philippines. Natural landmarks such as the Chocolate Hills, the Taal Volcano and the Puerto Princesa Underground River are also important features. The South China Sea, the Philippine Sea, the Sulu Sea, and the Celebes Sea surround the country, playing a vital role in its maritime trade and biodiversity.
Additionally, the map identifies important straits and channels, such as the Balintang Channel, the Babuyan Channel, and the San Bernardino Strait, which are essential for navigation. This detailed map serves as a valuable resource for students, travelers, researchers, and policymakers, providing information on the country's infrastructure, topography, and natural wonders, as well as a clear overview of its administrative divisions and transportation network.
