No, the tropics are larger than the Philippines (they run round the whole planet north and south of the Equator. Thus the question should be :- "Are the Philippines in the tropics" The answer to that question is "Yes" (see the map of the tropics in the related link below.
Hurricanes occur in the tropics, while tornadoes can occur in various regions, including the tropics. In the tropics, tornadoes are less common compared to hurricanes due to the different atmospheric conditions that typically favor the formation of hurricanes over tornadoes.
The tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are lines of latitude.
Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's rocky mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the earth to the surface while convection current in ocean in; Solar radiation affects the oceans: warm water from the Equatortends to circulate toward the poles, while cold polar water heads towards the Equator. The surface currents are initially dictated by surface wind conditions. The trade winds blow westward in the tropics, and the westerlies blow eastward at mid-latitudes. This wind pattern applies a stress to the subtropical ocean surface with negative curl across the Northern Hemisphere, and the reverse across the Southern Hemisphere. The resulting Sverdrup transport is equator ward.Because of conservation of potential vorticity caused by the poleward-moving winds on the subtropical ridge's western periphery and the increased relative vorticity of poleward moving water, transport is balanced by a narrow, accelerating poleward current, which flows along the western boundary of the ocean basin, outweighing the effects of friction with the cold western boundary current which origniates from high latitudes
Sunny weather occurs whereever the sun doth shine. Incorrect it may sound however tis true. On the other hand its duration in a particular region or area can dwindle significantly. You can never go wrong with the Tropics, sunny, and breezy weather year round. Moving or travelling pole ward (away from the equator towards the poles) decreases this likehood as the intensity of the suns rays diminish gradually as you move poleward .

they are the tropics of cancer and Capricorn
Large scale weather systems that transport surface cold air toward the tropics and surface warm air toward the poles.
Both can occur in the tropics. However it is hurricanes that almost exclusively form in the tropics.
Weathering in humid tropics regions occurs due to the wet and warm conditions that promote chemical weathering processes, such as hydrolysis and oxidation. The abundant rainfall and high temperatures accelerate the breakdown of rocks and minerals, leading to the formation of clay minerals and oxide deposits. Additionally, the lush vegetation in humid tropics can contribute to physical weathering through root penetration and biological activity.
I go to the tropics every summer

Miami Tropics was created in 2006.
the gulf stream gets its warmth from the tropics
Yes, most of the parts in Brazil is located in the tropics.
Yes, Cuba is located in the beautiful tropics.
