Metro Manila

Ang Maynila ang kabisera ng Pilipinas, at ang metro area ay binubuo ng labinganim na iba&apos;t ibang mga lungsod. Bukod sa pagiging kabiserang lungsod ng bansa, ito rin ang pangunahing sentro ng bansa para sa ekonomiya, kultura, edukasyon, at lipunan. Ang metro area ang sentro ng pamahalaan para sa bansa, ngunit ang lungsod mismo ay ang talagang kabisera. Sa loob ng metro area, ang Quezon City ang pinakamalaki.
Ang metro area ng Maynila ay nakaupo sa isang tangway kasama ng Laguna de Bay sa isang dako, Manila Bay sa kabilang dako, at ang Ilog Pasig na umaagos sa gitna. Ang rehiyon ay isa din sa pinakamalaking bahaing kapatagan sa Pilipinas. Ito rin ay kilala bilang isang lugar ng kapwa kapuna-punang kayamanan at matinding kahirapan. Marami ding mamahaling komunidad sa Metro Manila. Iyan ay kabaligtaran sa napakaraming iskwater sa iba&apos;t ibang bahagi ng metro area, lalo na sa lupang pagmamay-ari ng gobyerno na kasalukuyang hindi ginagamit at sa tabi ng mga linya ng tren na dumadaan sa lugar.
Mayroon ding ilang mga mahahalagang palatandaan sa metropolitan area ng Maynila. Isa sa mga pinakakilalang parke sa lugar ay ang Rizal Park, na naglalaman ng Monumento ni Rizal, isang mausoleo na gumugunita kay Jose Rizal, isang martir na nagsulong para sa mga repormang panlipunan at ang kanyang pagkamatay ay nagpasiklab ng Himagsikang Pilipino. Bukod sa Monumento ni Rizal, ang parke ay naglalaman din ng mga kahanga-hangang hardin ng mga Hapon at Instik, ang Pambansang Museo ng Lahing Pilipino, at isang napakalaking relief map ng bansa.

Metro Manila

Manila is the capital of the Philippines, and the metro area is comprised of sixteen different cities. In addition to being the capital city of the country, it is also the nation&apos;s main center for economics, culture, education, and society. The metro area is the &quot;seat of government&quot; for the country, but the city itself is actually the capital. Within the metro area, Quezon City is the largest.
The metro area of Manila sits on an isthmus with Laguna de Bay on one side, Manila Bay on the other, and the Pasig River running down the middle. The region is also one of the largest flood plains in the Philippines. It is also known as an area of both conspicuous wealth and extreme poverty. There is an abundance of expensive gated communities in Metro Manila. That&apos;s in contrast to the numerous illegal slums in various parts of the metro area, especially on government-owned land that&apos;s not currently in use and along the rail lines running through the area.
There are also a number of important landmarks in the Manila metropolitan area. One of the most iconic parks within the area is Rizal Park, which contains the Rizal Monument, a mausoleum that commemorates Jose Rizal, a martyr who worked for social reforms in his native country and whose death sparked the Philippine Revolution. In addition to the Rizal Monument, the park also contains impressive Japanese and Chinese gardens, the National Museum of the Filipino People, and a massive relief map of the country.

Palawan

 Ang Palawan ay kapwa isang isla at isang lalawigan sa Pilipinas.  Kasama sa lalawigan ang Isla ng Palawan at ilang mas maliliit na mga pulo.  Ang rehiyon ay lubhang popular sa mga turista dahil sa mga maputi at mabuhangin nitong mga dalampasigan at mabatong makikipot na look.  Marami ding maaaring tuklasin malayo sa aplaya, kasama na ang ilang mga birheng kagubatan, mga bundok, mga mababang burol, mga kapatagan, at mga delta.  Pinangalanan ng National Geographic Traveler bilang pinakamahusay na islang destinasyon ng Silangan at Timog-silangang Asya noong taong 2007(dalawang libo at pito), gayundin bilang isa sa ikalabintatlong pinakamahusay na mga isla sa mundo.  Sa unang bahagi ng  taong 1990 (isang libo siyam na raan at siyamnapu), ang isla ay nabigyan ng katayuan na Biosphere Reserve dahil naglalaman ito ng pinaka-magkakaibang populasyon ng mga uri ng hayop sa bansa.

 Bukod sa magagandang mga dalampasigan, ang mga bisita sa Palawan ay may maraming iba pang mga lugar para tuklasin.  Ang Calauit Game Preserve ay isang lugar upang pumunta para makakita ng ilan sa mga kakaiba at papawalang mga hayop ng Aprika at gayundin mismo ang Palawan.  Ang Coron Reefs ay nagbibigay ng isang nakamangmanghang destinasyon para sa mga maninisid, at ang Reserbang Pandagat ng El Nido ay kasama ang ilang mga hardin ng higanteng kabibe.  Pinangalanan ng UNESCO ang dalawang lokasyon sa Palawan sa listahan nito ng mga Pandaigdigang Pamanang Pook.  Ang mga pook na ito ay ang Puerto Princesa Subterranean National Park at ang Tubbataha Reef Marine Park.  Ang nauna ay isang ilog sa ilalim ng lupa sa isang napakalaking lugar ng limestone karst.  Ang ikalawa ay isang atoll reef na siksik sa iba&apos;t ibang uri ng mga hayop ng karagatan.  Isa pang lugar ng pansin para sa mga nagmamahal sa kalikasan ay ang Isla ng Ursula, na isang santuwaryo ng ibon at kanlungan ng mga maiilap na hayop.

Palawan

Palawan is both an island and a province in the Philippines. The province includes Palawan Island and a number of smaller isles. The region is extremely popular with tourists because of its white, sandy beaches and rocky coves. There is also plenty to explore inland, including a number of virgin forests, mountains, foothills, plains, and deltas. National Geographic Traveler named the island as East and Southeast Asia&apos;s 2007 best island destination, as well as one of the world&apos;s 13th best islands. In the early part of the 1990s, the island was granted the status of Biosphere Reserve because it contains the most diverse population of species in the country.

Aside from the beautiful beaches, visitors to Palawan also have many other places to explore. The Calauit Game Preserve is a place to go see some of the exotic and endangered animals of Africa and also of Palawan itself. The Coron Reefs provide an incredible destination for divers, and El Nido Marine Reserve Park includes a number of giant clam gardens. UNESCO has named two locations in Palawan to its World Heritage Sites list. Those sites are the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park and the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park. The former is an underground river in a massive limestone karst area. The latter is an atoll reef that is densely packed with different kinds of oceanic species. Another place of note for nature lovers is Ursula Island, which is a bird sanctuary and game refuge.

In spite of the many tourist attractions in Palawan, agriculture remains the largest part of the province&apos;s economy. Pearl diving also used to be a big part of the economy there, although it is not as important as it onc</itunes:summary>				<itunes:author>FilipinoPod101.com</itunes:author>
