What Are The Theories Of The Philippine Archipelago? There are no theories as such on the Philippine Archipelago. In fact thePhilippines Archipelago is the area of the Republic of the Philippines and is just the group of islands that are incorporated in the group.

The term archipelago refers to how the country consists of 7, 107 islands. The Philippines were formed as a republic and has a population of 94million people and rising. The country is divided into three areas: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Its capital city is Manila. The Philippines were declared a Republic in 1898, but a number of wars between the Philippines and the Spanish ad the Philippines and the Americans followed. The country began to govern itself after 1934 and was recognized as a country in its own right in 1946 after the Second World War. The countries current constitution dates back to 1987. The country covers an area of 115,000 square miles and is a number of islands. It is also one of the rising nations economically in the world and is classed as an emerging nation financially due to its economic competitiveness.
