In the "Biodiversity" portion of this article, it's stated that "Deforestation had reached a record high during the Duterte administration in 2017", with citation 237 entitled, "7M hectares Philippine lands are forested-and that's bad news" by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism on May 12, 2021. I read through that article and the only specific period mentioned was in the portion "Mindoro lost more than 200,000 hectares of forest cover from 2003 to 2015. However, Duterte was elected into office on June 30, 2016. His predecessors, Benigno S. Aquino III (June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2016) and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (January 20, 2001 to June 30, 2010 were in office during the time period mentioned in the citation. The statement is clearly false if the basis is the citation used and should be changed/removed. Chiniwaki (talk) 13:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
During World war II, the Imperial Japanese Navy sailed south from Japan to invade Philippines, which was under American occupation. The Japanese Imperial Navy did not sail to Taiwan first before heading towards Philippines. Now, the northernmost Philippine island is almost as close to Taiwan as Taiwan is to China mainland, so how did Philippines move from South of Japan, to South of Taiwan? Thank you for your interest. 2601:647:6881:2060:494:92D8:7A2A:C526 (talk) 02:28, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The answer is: plate tectonics. Since the Pleistocene (at least), the island of Taiwan is to the immediate north of the Philippine Archipelago. You might have been misled by a look at a pseudocylindrical Europe-centered map. In such projections, the Philippines might appear straight below Japan. But a look at longitudinal lines will tell you that the route from Japan to the Philippines goes south-southwest. –Austronesier (talk) 16:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Japanese Imperial Navy did not invade the Philippines by way of Taiwan, and the United States navy did not fire bomb Japan from the Philippines, south of Taiwan. During World War II, the United States island hopped to Japan, and the Philippines was one of those island groups, which was located south of Japan, not south of Taiwan. Also, the Qing Dynasty did not conquer Taiwan and drive away the Ming Dynasty royal court to the Philippines, as it's possible to do so given how close the islands now are. Additionally, the Spanish did not colonize the Philippines for more than three hundred years, south of Taiwan, as the Philippines were located rather farther away from Taiwan. Given how close the Philippines and Taiwan are now, you would expect there would be more cultural and historic exchanges between China and Philippines, but there were not, because Taiwan is scarcely mentioned in Philippine history, just as Philippines are scarcely mentioned in the history of Taiwan. 2601:647:6881:2060:505E:609D:F2A8:43A8 (talk) 02:10, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
