The Philippines is a Southeast Asian country in the Western
Pacific, comprising more than 7,000 islands. Its capital, Manila, is famous for its waterfront promenade and
centuries-old Chinatown, Binondo. Intramuros, a walled city in colonial times, is the heart of Old Manila.
It’s home to the baroque 17th-century San Agustin Church as well as Fort Santiago, a storied citadel and military
prison.Doctor of Medicine is awarded to students after completing four years degree program. This is equivalent to
that of MBBS degree. In the first year, the basics of medical sciences are taught. From the second year onwards to
third year, these courses focus on specialized areas. Fourth year includes clinical rotation in different departments.
This degree deals with medical theories, technologies, practices and different approaches for problem-solving.
Post this, it is necessary to take up a licensure examination in the country itself. For this, students have to
go through one year internship program. Degree awarded by different universities is recognized by World Health
Organization. Even the Medical Council of India recognizes the degree awarded by these institutes and permits the
aspirants for the screening test in India.
Climate
Climate of the Philippines is either tropical rainforest, tropical
savanna, tropical monsoon, or humid subtropical (in higher-altitude areas) characterized by relatively high temperature,
oppressive humidity and plenty of rainfall. Relative humidity is high in the Philippines. A high amount of moisture
or vapor in the air makes hot temperatures feel hotter. This quantity of moisture is due to different factors – the
extraordinary evaporation from the seas that surrounds the country on all sides, to the different prevailing winds
in the different seasons of the year, and finally, to the abundant rains so common in a tropical country. The first
may be considered as general causes of the great humidity, which is generally observed in all the islands throughout
the year. The last two may influence the different degree of humidity for the different months of the year and for the
different regions of the archipelago.
