Data appearing in this web project were compiled from government statistics, newspaper reports, magazine articles, corporate publications, books, websites and other reliable materials. While most data have been properly attributed to their sources, original sources of some information that have long been in circulation could not be possibly identified.

Sentences and phrases were reworded to avoid plagiarism.   A number of information pertaining to world records in the Philippines are not necessarily accepted worldwide, although the Philippine government, particularly the Department of Tourism, use them in promotional materials. 

The project takes pride about the country's natural, cultural and human wealth and seeks to put on record the extraordinary feats accomplished by Filipinos, be they illustrious or unknown.   Treatment of each subject is according to the popular opinion of the time. While objectivity is its primary goal, the author attempts analysis over subjects deemed controversial. Data contained in this project are for general information purposes only. 

For more specific information in each topic, other reference materials should be consulted.   The latter part of the project contains the author's belief and conviction about the country's problems and their solutions and the salvation of the Filipino people.

The author would like to express his gratitude to the following people for making this project possible: his family for bearing with him in sickness and good health; staff of the Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati City, CCP Library in Manila, and Netopia Internet Café in Ortigas for their warm accommodation; and all the people who believe in truth.
