Philippines is composed of about 7100 islands though not all are inhabited because some are too small. Each island have their own dialect but everybody is taught (in school) to speak the national language which is Tagalog, which is the dialect of the people at the northern part of the Philippines. Our currency is called "Peso", the exchange rate right now is 53.00 Pesos to $1.00. I will be going back there to visit some time in May, anybody wants to go?
