The Philippines is an archipelago comprising 7,107 islands with a total land area of 300,000 km2. The 11 largest islands contain 94% of the total land area. The largest of these islands is Luzon at about 105,000 km2. The next largest island is Mindanao at about 95,000 km2. The archipelago is around 800 km from the Asian mainland and is located between Taiwan and Borneo.

The islands are divided into three groups: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The Luzon islands include Luzon itself, Palawan, Mindoro, Marinduque, Masbate and Batanes Islands. The Visayas is the group of islands in the central Philippines, the largest of which are: Panay, Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and Samar. The Mindanao islands include Mindanao itself, plus the Sulu Archipelago, composed primarily of Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.

The most widely accepted theory is the Plate Tectonics theory, which states that the Philippine archipelago was formed through the movement and collision of tectonic plates. This led to the creation of various geological features such as mountains, volcanoes, and underwater trenches in the region. Another theory is the Land Bridge theory, suggesting that the Philippines was once connected to the Asian mainland by land bridges during the ice ages, allowing the migration of flora, fauna, and early human populations.
