Whoa! you're right!! 
Now, Let's talk 'bout [b]Philippine Trivia[/b]!
The largest city in the Philippines is [b]Davao City[/b]. With an area of 2,211 sq. km., it is about three times the size of the national capital, Metro Manila. 
The [b]PHILIPPINE EAGLE[/b] is the 2nd largest bird on the planet that can be found in Davao, Philippines (next only to the American Condor).... 
[b]Cebu[/b] is the oldest Philippine city.
Filipino bowler[b] Rafael "Paeng" Nepomuceno[/b] was the first bowler to be elevated to the International Bowling Hall of Fame based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The Philippine Congress has named him “Greatest Filipino Athlete of All Time.”
The largest fish in the world, the Whale Shark, locally known as [b]Butanding[/b], regularly swims to the Philippine waters.
The world’s shortest and lightest freshwater fish is the dwarf pygmy goby ([b]Pandaka Pygmaea[/b]), a colorless and nearly transparent species found in the streams and lakes of Luzon. Males have an average length of 8.7 mm. and weigh 4-5 mg.
On January 18, 1995, [b]Pope John Paul II offered mass[/b] to an estimated 4 to 5 million people at Luneta Park, Manila, Philippines, making it to the Guiness Book of World Records for the Biggest Papal Crowd.
[b]San Juanico Strait[/b] - said to be the narrowest yet the most navigable strait in the world
[b]Cagayan de Oro City[/b] - “The City of Golden Friendship,” known for its warm people and old-fashioned hospitality.
[b]Mt. Apo[/b], the Philippines highest mountain at 10,311 feet above sea level, and considered as the “Grand-father of all Philippine Mountains”
[b]Maria Teresa Calderon[/b] – A Filipina World champion speed reader as listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The [b]Philippine Basketball Association[/b] is Asia's premier and the world's second oldest professional league.
The symbolic name for the Philippines, [b]Juan dela Cruz[/b], is not a Filipino invention? It was coined by R. McCulloch-Dick, a Scottish-born journalist working for the Manila Times in the early 1900s, after discovering it was the most common name in blotters.
