Hello. Can you tell me about the Philippines and its Etymology? 
 An Island the Philippines lies in the Pacific Ocean. It actually has 7,641 islands. It became named after the grand Iberian King Phillip II of Spain. 
 Anything else about it's Etymology? 
 No factual information on etymology has appeared in this time stamp but may appear later. Plenty of information on economics exist. A 1997 Asian Financial Crisis had impact upon its island economy. It caused a lingering decline in the value of its currency known as pesos. It causes a decline in its stock market as well. Despite this minor setback Goldman Sachs predicts by 2050 it will rank as the 20th largest economy. 
 How about information on the Economy? 
 HSBC confirms the Goldman Sachs information on the economy of the country but ranks it at 16th largest in the world presently gives no ranking for 200 but states likely the largest economy in that region by then. It names it as the 5th largest in South East Asian region. Much depends on relations with China and India since its competitive pressure could impact as well. It has been named in Sachs Next Eleven list. 
 Anything else about it's Economy? 
 Correction the date is 2050 for the number one ranking in the region. A be aware in the economy is it relies on remittances from Filipinos living overseas. The amount given is larger than the foreign direct investment. Etymology has appeared so the request for previous information is Philippines other names include Islas del Poniente Islands of the West and Magellan called the area the isles of San Lazaro. Then the Iberian Villalobos came and in 1542 named it Leyte and Samar Felipinas after a prince.
