My Country “The Philippies”

The capital of the Philippines is Manila our national an them is “Lupang Hinirang”. My country has over eight-six million people and its highest point is Mount Apo. The Philippines was a Spanish colony that was given to the US in 1898 then became independent in 1946. My mommy used to live in Daet, Bicol when she was about my age while my daddy used to live in Cebu. They both speak our main language that is Tagalog but both have their own dialects. I am very proud to say that I understand four languages including my mommy’s dialect! We have different types of food like other countries but my favourite ones are pork sinigang , Pork or chicken Adobe, deep fried Spring Rolls, Spaghetti(Philippine Style) and Laeng. One of them is for my mommy’s province and it’s so yummy. My mommy told me that I have been in the Philippines many times when I was around 1 or 2 years old but I can only remember few things like; my grandpa bought mea baby chick to take care and play with while I was on a holiday.
