Summary: The Philippines is a singular country. What other is composed of more than 7,000 islands--only 1,200 of which inhabited and 2,773 named? How many other countries have 87 dialects spoken within its borders? It is also the only Christian country in Asia, as well as one of most highly educated. In Davao it boasts the world's most extensive city, including plantations and jungles. The Philippines is unusual in many other ways, but it takes a trip there to discover them, or, almost as good, a reading of this thoroughly enjoyable guide--a quick, insightful look at the major points of interest. --From the book cover
