Hello, I would like to learn about the Philippines. 
 Hi, the Phillippines is a Southeast Asian island country in the Pacific Ocean named in honor of King Philip II of Spain. 
 That is interesting, could you tell me about the politics of Philippines. 
 A shared history and culture helps bridge the Philippenes' relationship with Spain. 
 Tell me more! 
 Volunteers make up The Armed Forces of the Philippines. 
 What is the etymology of Philippines? 
 In 1592, Spanish explorer Ruy Lopez de Villaobos named islands Leyte and Samar Felipinas after the Prince of Austria. 
 What else can you tell me? 
 Islas del Poniente ( Islands of the West ) and San Lazaro ( Magellan's name for the islands) are Spanish names referring to the islands. 
 Thank you for you help!
