PHILIPPINES
MORE THAN 7,000 ISLANDS and islets rise
from a partly submerged mountain
chain to form the Philippines. Largely trop-
ical wilderness, 90 percent of the islands are
uninhabited, 60 percent unnamed. Two-
thirds of the population lives on the two
` largest islands, Luzon and Mindanao.
Predominantly of Malay origin, Filipinos
trace their origins as far back as 3000 B.C.,
to the first immigrants from Indonesia and
Malaya. Hillsides terraced with rice fields
bear witness to ancient engineering skills.
In the 14th century Arab missionaries
brought Islam to the
Sulus and other
southern islands.
The Christian influ-
ence dates from 1521,
when Magellanland-
ed on Cebu, opening the way for Spanish
colonization in 1565. Spain's rule lasted 333
years, ending with the Spanish-American
War. The United States guided the Philip-
pines during the next 48 years, leaving a
heritage of language and liberty. The nation
became fully independent on July 4, 1946.

Far more than wars and occupation. geogra-
phy has fragmented the Republic of the Philip
pines. Its 32,000,000 people live on a galaxy
of islands strung out north and south for 1,150
miles between the Pacific Ocean and the South
China Sea (maps, pages 312-13).
No one knows how many islands there are.
the republic itself says simply "more than 7, 100."
New islands appear from time to time as vol-
canoes thrust their smoking cones above the sea.
And, after a few years of pounding by the waves,
some of these new islands vanish.
The eruption of Taal Volcano on September
28, 1965, emphasized again the influence of

"About half an hour later, a deafening blast

Conrado Andal jammed 20 women and
children into the same small boat we were

about two and a half miles when another ex-
Nosion split the night.
"There was a big volume of gas and steam,"
Mr. Andal said. "That was when the storia
and electrical display started. It was just like
Roman candles-flashes of red and yellow."
The eruption, possibly triggered by seepage
if water from the lake into the depths of the
earth, created its own thunderstorm. Billion.
of gallons of water, steam, gas, and mud
churned into the air. .
