- Clean up for grammatical and spelling errors.
The text reads "In 2008, it ranked as the 40th wealthiest urban agglomeration in the world". This ranking is based on GDP which is a measure of income not wealth. Pedantic maybe, but it is a comment on economics and there is a great deal of difference between wealth and income.

[edit] Use of "The"
[edit] Between five and ten what? Percent?
Between five and ten of the population are Muslim, most of whom live in parts of Mindanao, Palawan, and the Sulu Archipelago—an area known as Bangsamoro or the Moro region.[136][137] Some have migrated into urban and rural areas in different parts of the country. Most Muslim Filipinos practice Sunni Islam according to the Shafi'i school.[31] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.27.35 (talk) 02:35, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, percent. Good catch. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 06:00, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures of warriors
The article should include at least this picture of which I am about to link, it is also from the boxer codex, and tells of warriors in the Philippines who had their own guns. Much information would be given to many people here if added.

- Hmmmm... See info at here. File:Naturales 4.png is from page 112, vs. the image mentioned above from page 183. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Hmmm... again. The Boxer Codex article says that exactly 15 of the 75 drawings in the Codex deal with Filipinos. A supporting source for that is cited, but it's not viewable online. There's a picture gallery of 17 images in the article. The titles of the 17 images break down into groups of "Naturales" 1-5, "Visayans" 1-4, "Cagayan Warrior" 1, "Cagayan Woman" 1, "Negritos" 1, "Zambals" 1-3, "Chinese Migrants in the Philippines" 1, "Japanese inhabitants in the Philippines" 1. Some Codex image labels match the image titles, some not; some of the images in the gallery are not labeled in the Codex. The image you mention is not in the gallery and is not labeled in the Codex. The image immediately preceding yours in the Codex is on page 176, and also shows a man with a firearm. That image is labeled "Malucos". "Malucos" in Portuguese apparently means "Crazy", if that means anything here. It doesn't look to me as if we have a sound basis here for concluding that the image you point to tells of warriors in the Philippines who had their own guns.

[edit] Terminal 3 is not the main gateway to the Philippines
That is terminal 1. Terminal 3 is domestic flights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.198.83.116 (talk) 16:24, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- I believe the "main gateway to the Philippines" phrase was actually referring to NAIA in its entirety, not any specific terminals.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 02:32, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] country with the 4th longest coastline in the world (not the 5th)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please edit the phrase: "Its 36,289 kilometers (22,549 mi) of coastline makes it the country with the 5th longest coastline in the world." Under the Geography section to: "Its 36,289 kilometers (22,549 mi) of coastline makes it the country with the 4th longest coastline in the world." Thank you. source: List of countries by length of coastline
Koji143 (talk) 18:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Not done: I count four countries on that list with longer coastlines. That list really sucks, they don't even explain why some countries are unnumbered and italicized. — Bility (talk) 20:46, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
technically, it's 3 countries and one autonomous area, which is Greenland. So I still think that if we refer to the countries alone, Philippines should be the 4th longest. Anyways, I agree - that list does really suck. — Koji143 (talk 19:02, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Not "Philippines" until after 1543
When Magellan arrived it is not proper to say "In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines...". Magellan named one island (present Homonhon) Las islas de San Lázaro. It wasn't until 1543 that Ruy López de Villalobos dubbed just two islands (present Samar and Leyte) Las islas Felipenas. Even then, it was only two islands, and it is difficult to determine when "Filipenas" could have been applied to the entire archipelago. Dangnad (talk) 19:44, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
