 LESSON 13.2
LOCATION OF THE PHILIPPINES
HOW IS THE PHILIPPINES
LOCATED IN THE GLOBE?
THE TWO WAYS TO DEFINE THE
LOCATION OF A PLACE
A. RELATIVE LOCATION
- defining the location in relation to other
places.

B. ABSOLUTE LOCATION
- the more accurate way to define a places in
the world in terms of latitude and longitude.
 DEFINING THE RELATIVE
LOCATION OF THE PHILIPPINES

To define the relative location of the

Philippines is quite easy. We can just
state the seas and countries at its
margins.
NEIGHBORING SEAS IN THE
PHILIPPINES

The Philippines is bounded by the Luzon

Strait in the North, the Philippine Sea to
the East, the West Philippine Sea and Sulu
Sea to the West, and the Celebes Sea to the
South.
NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES OF THE
PHILIPPINES
Neighboring countries are the Taiwan in the
North; the Indochina Peninsula in the
West, which is composed of Vietnam,
Thailand and Cambodia; Indonesia to the
South; and Micronesia, Guam and the
Marianas Islands to the East.
THE EXACT GEOGRAPHICAL
LOCATION OF THE PHILIPPINES
The Exact Geographical Location
of the Philippines on the World
Map is a range of Latitude and
Longitude Coordinates. The
Philippines is located between 5°
to 21° North Latitude and 114° to
127° East Longitude.
THE GLOBE AND MAP
The Globe and the Map are both models of
the Earth. They are used to illustrate the
locations of the places on Earth.

GLOBE - it is a sphere used to illustrate the

places on Earth accurately.

MAP - it is a flat accurate illustration of

the places on Earth.
THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE

A. LATITUDE - are the horizontal imaginary

lines that can be found in globes and maps.

B. LONGITUDE - are the vertical imaginary

lines that can be found in globes and maps.
GRID AND COORDINATES

GRID - combination of the

Latitude and Longitude.

COORDINATES -
intersections of the
Latitude and Longitude at
a specific location.
THE LATITUDINAL LINES

The Latitudinal Lines run horizontally

around the globe. At the top of the Globe is
the North Pole and at the bottom end is the
South Pole. Latitudinal Lines are expressed
in degrees and show how a location is far
North or South of the Equator.
EQUATOR - is a horizontal
line, designated as zero
degree (0°) latitude and
divides the globe into
Northern and Southern
Hemispheres.

The Equator divides the

Globe into two
hemispheres: The
Northern and Southern
Hemisphere
TROPIC OF CANCER -
the parallel of
latitude that is
approximately 23
1/2 degrees north of
the equator and
that is the
northernmost
latitude reached by
the overhead sun.
TROPIC OF CAPRICORN -
the parallel of latitude
that is approximately 23
1/2 degrees south of the
equator and that is the
southernmost latitude
reached by the overhead
sun.
ARCTIC CIRCLE - the
parallel of latitude that
is approximately 66 1/2
degrees north of the
equator and that
circumscribes the
northern frigid zone.
ANTARCTIC CIRCLE -
the parallel of latitude
that is approximately
66 1/2 degrees south
of the equator and
that circumscribes the
southern frigid zone.
THE LONGITUDINAL LINES

The Longitudinal Lines run vertically across

the globe, beginning from the North Pole
going toward the South Pole. Two lines
delineate the Eastern and Western Halves
of the Globe. These lines indicate how far
East or West a certain location is with
reference to the Prime Meridian.
PRIME MERIDIAN -
designated as zero degree
(0°) Longitude and passes
through the town of
Greenwich, England so it is
the reason why it is
sometimes called The
Greenwich Meridian.
ANTIMERIDIAN OR
INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE -
designated as 180°
Longitude. It is the line
where the date of the
Hemispheres changes.
TRIANGULATION
Triangulation is a method for describing a
location based on two other points or
locations. It produces an imaginary triangle
that connects the three points.

This strategy is also used by geologists to

determine the epicenter of earthquakes, by
technologists to determine the location of
spacecraft, and by coast watchers to
describe the location of illegal fishing
boats.
LESSON 13.3
HOW TO READ MAPS
WHY SHOULD YOU BRING A MAP
WHEN YOU TRAVEL?
 THE MAPS
Maps are two-
dimensional (2D)
drawings or three
dimensional (3D)
representations of a
particular area.
We have many kinds of Maps. We have Political Maps,
Geographical Maps, Economic Maps and Climate Maps.
But all of these maps,we must learn first how to read
World Maps.
COORDINATES

Coordinates are measured in degrees (°),

minutes ('), and seconds ("), where there
are 60 seconds in one minute and 60
minutes in one degree.
LATITUDINAL LINES

Latitudinal Lines go from

0° to 90° N for the
Northern Half of Earth
above the Equator, or 0° to
90° S for countries South
of the Equator.
LONGITUDINAL LINES
Longitudinal Lines run from
0° to 180° E or W on
Earth's surface. The Equator
is designated as zero
degrees Latitude, and the
Prime Meridian, which
passes through Greenwich,
is designated as the
reference zero degrees
Longitude.
 LESSON 13.4
THE ROLE OF THE PHILIPPINES IN THE CORAL
TRIANGLE
WHY SHOULD COUNTRIES
INVEST IN THE CORAL
TRIANGLE?
The Philippine Archipelago lies at the apex
of the Coral Triangle, a valuable triangular-
shaped region along the Equator that is
high in marine life biodiversity.
THE CORAL TRIANGLE
The Coral Triangle is a rich underwater
habitat of valuable biodiversity that can be
found in the Indo-Pacific Asia. The Coral
Triangle has a span of nearly 6,000,000 km²
of ocean that includes six countries in the
Indo-Pacific: Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua
New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands
and East Timor (Timor Leste).
This region is home to about 76% of the
world's Coral Species and about 37% of the
world's Coral Reef Fish Species, in which
many live along the oceans, stretching from
Southeastern Indonesia to the Central
Philippines. The Philippines hosts a greater
part of the coral triangle that is rich in the
world's coral species.
The Six Countries in the Indo-Pacific Region
that makes up The Coral Triangle
THE CORAL TRIANGLE INITIATIVE
(CTI)
The Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) is the
joint partnership of the Philippines and five
other member countries to become
stewards of the Coral Triangle, to address
the factors that threaten the Coral Triangle,
such as climate change, ocean acidification,
sea level rise, urbanization, and
overfishing.
THE CORAL TRIANGLE INITIATIVE
(CTI) MISSION
The CTI is acting diligently to reduce threats to
the Coral Triangle by engaging coastal
communities; building their capacities to
protect and rejuvenate their coastal resources;
providing alternative forms of livelihood to
minimize exploitation of coastal resources; and
advocating for vigilance in monitoring the seas.
Marine-protected areas have been developed so
that marine life can continue to propagate
without disturbance.
