Escaping Terrorism in the Philippines
By Joyce Furstenau |
|
1 The Republic of the Philippines is an island off the coast of Southeast Asia. It has two main seasons of the year: wet and dry. During World War II, it was invaded and occupied by Japan. After the Japanese were defeated in 1945, the Philippines achieved independence from the United States on July 4, 1946. Since that date, this independent country has faced many political problems with various dissident groups. Manila is the capital of the Philippines and the city in which Thomas Aganda and Judy Chua grew up. They both lived in an outlying area called Quezon City.
