Where's the Philippines?A quick look at the map of the world will show you that the Philippines is strategically located relative to its neighboring Asian countries and the Western world. The country lies in the western rim of the Pacific Ocean between Taiwan in the north and Indonesia in the south. To the southwest are Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore, with Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand farther southeast.  It is situated in the crossroads of international trade and travel lanes, and plays a vital link between the West and the East. The Philippines is readily accessible from any capital of the world. And from the country, traveling to other Asian countries is a breeze. Traveling time from Manila to Hong Kong is 1 hour and 30 minutes; to Singapore is 3 hours; to Tokyo is 4 hours; to Thailand is 3 hours and 50 minutes and to Sydney is 10 hours and 20 minutes.
