Insight Guides: Philippines

by Hans Johannes Hoefer (Creater and Designer), Sylvia L. Mayuga, Alfred A. Yuson

Here is a land whose geography has placed it in Southeast Asia, but whose religion is predominantly Roman Catholic, whose colonists were Spanish and American, whose cuisine seem ands sedate compared to the spicy chillies and curries of its mainland neigbours.
