The Philippine Archipelago

Focusing on thematic issues rather than regional descriptions, this book explores critical aspects of the Philippines, including the impact of typhoons, population growth, and economic challenges. It addresses agrarian reform, migration as a strategy for economic survival, and the urban expansion of Manila. Additionally, it delves into the complexities of the Muslim question in Mindanao, tensions in the South China Sea, and the broader challenges of risk, vulnerability, and sustainable development in the country.
