Boracay is a small island in the Philippines located approximately 315 km (196 mi) south

of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island inWestern Visayas region of the Philippines.
Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards from numerous travel publications and
agencies.[Note 1]The island comprises the barangays of Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, and Yapak in
the municipality of Malay, in Aklan Province. The island is administered by thePhilippine Tourism
Authority and the provincial government of Aklan. Apart from its white sand beaches, Boracay is also
famous for being one of the world's top destinations for relaxation. [11][12] It is also emerging among the
top destinations for tranquility and nightlife.[13]
In 2012, Boracay was awarded as the best island in the world from the international travel
magazine Travel + Leisure.[14][15]
Boracay Island is located off the northwest corner of Panay Island, and belongs to the Western
Visayas island-group, or Region VI, of the Philippines. The island is approximately seven kilometers
long, dog-bone shaped with the narrowest spot being less than one kilometer wide, and has a total
land area of 10.32 square kilometers.
South-facing Cagban Beach is located across a small strait from the jetty port at Caticlan on Panay
island, and the Cagban jetty port serves as Boracay's main entry and exit point during most of the
year. When wind and sea conditions dictate, east-facing Tambisaan Beach serves as an alternative
entry and exit point.[27] Boracay's two primary tourism beaches, White Beach and Bulabog Beach, are
located on opposite sides of the island's narrow central area. White Beach faces westward and
Bulabog Beach faces eastward. The island also has several other beaches.
White Beach, the main tourism beach, is about four kilometers long and is lined with resorts, hotels,
lodging houses, restaurants, and other tourism-related businesses. In the central portion, for about
two kilometers, there is a footpath known as the Beachfront Path separating the beach itself from the
establishments located along it. North and south of the Beachfront Path, beachfront establishments
do literally front along the beach itself. Several roads and paths connect the Beachfront Path with
Boracay's Main Road, a vehicular road which runs the length of the island. At the extreme northern
end of White Beach, a footpath runs around the headland there and connects White Beach with
Diniwid Beach.
Bulabog Beach, across the island from White Beach, is the second most popular tourism beach on
the island and Boracay's main windsurfing and kiteboarding area.
Boracay is divided for land use and conservation purposes into 400 hectares of preserved forestland
and 628.96 hectares of agricultural land.[28][29][30][31][32][33]

QUICK ANSWER

The major rivers in the Philippines are the Cagayan River, Rio Grande de Mindanao and
the Agusan River. The country has a total of 421 rivers, but scientists consider 50 of
them biologically dead
The longest river in the Philippines is the Cagayan River. It is 314 miles long and is on
the island of Luzon, which is in the northern section of the country. The Cagayan River
is prone to flooding, specifically during heavy rains. The Cagayan River flows from the
Caraballo Mountains to the Babuyan Channel. The second largest river is the Rio
Grande de Mindanao, which is located in the southern portion of the Philippines on the
island of Mindanao. Locals use the river to transport agricultural goods, as well as
timber. The Rio Grande de Mindanao begins at the Impasug-ong mountains and ends at
the Moro Gulf. In the east lies the Agusan River, which begins at the Compostela Valley
and flows into the Bhutan Bay. It is the third largest river in the Philippines. Much peat
and sago is found in and near this river and it is home to migratory ducks, who also live
in the adjacent lakes. The Agusan is prone to flash floods during periods of heavy
rain.vBukidnon (/bukdnn/; officially, the Province of Bukidnon:Cebuano: Lalawigan sa
Bukidnon; Filipino: Lalawigan ng Bukidnon) is a landlocked province in the Philippines located in
the Northern Mindanao region.[4] Its capital is the city of Malaybalay. The province borders, clockwise
starting from the north, Misamis Oriental, Agusan del Sur, Davao del Norte, Cotabato, Lanao del
Sur, and Lanao del Norte. According to the 2015 census, the province is inhabited by 1,415,226
residents.[3]
The name "Bukidnon" means "highlander" or "mountain dweller". The province is considered to be
the food basket of Mindanao, being the major producer of rice and corn in the region. Products from
plantations in the province also include pineapples, bananas andsugarcane. Situated within
Bukidnon is Mount Dulang-dulang, the 2nd highest mountain in the country, with an elevation of
2,938 metres (9,639 ft) located in Kitanglad Mountain Range.[5] Mount Kitanglad(2,899m.), Mount
Kalatungan (2,860m.), Mt. Maagnaw (2,742m.), Mt. Lumuluyaw (2,612m.) and Mt. Tuminungan
(2,400m.), the 4th, 5th, 8th, 17th and 30th highest mountains in the country respectively, are also
found in the province.[6Benguet (Tagalog pronunciation: [beet]; Ibaloi: Probinsya ne
Benguet;Pangasinan: Luyag na Benguet; Ilocano: Probinsya ti Benguet; Filipino:Lalawigan ng
Benguet), is a landlocked province of the Philippines located in the southern tip of the Cordillera
Administrative Region in the island ofLuzon. Its capital is La Trinidad.

The highland province is known as the Salad Bowl of the Philippines due to its huge production of
upland vegetables.[1][2][5]
Situated within the interior of Benguet is the highly urbanized city of Baguio, which is administratively
independent from the province.vBenguet covers a total area of 2,769.08 square kilometres
(1,069.15 sq mi)[18] occupying the southwestern tip of the Cordillera Administrative Region. The
province is bordered on the northeast by Mountain Province and Ifugao, on the southeast by Nueva
Vizcaya, [on the south by Pangasinan, on the west by La Union, and on the northwest by Ilocos Sur.
Situated within the Cordillera mountains, Benguet is dominantly mountainous.Mount Pulag, the
highest in Luzon is located within Kabayan. The mountains form the headwaters of several rivers,
the major ones which include the Agno,Amburayan, Bued, Bakun, Balili and the Asin. Some of these
run through river valleys or gorges.
Several natural lakes, small in size, are found within the hinterlands. The largest are the "Four
Lakes" in Kabayan; Lake Bulalacao, Lake Detepngepos, Lake Incolos and Lake Tabeyo.[19]
Central Luzon (Kapampangan: Kalibudtarang Luzon; Pangasinan: Pegley na
Luzon; Ilocano: Tengnga a Luzon; Tagalog: Gitnang Luzon), designated as Region III, is
an administrative region in the Philippines, primarily serving to organize the 7 provinces of the vast
central plains of the island of Luzon(the largest island), for administrative convenience. The region
contains the largest plain in the country and produces most of the country's rice supply, earning itself
the nickname "Rice Granary of the Philippines". [1] Its provinces are: Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva
Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac andZambales.[4] Effects of Globalization on Indian
Industry started when the government opened the country's markets to foreign
investments in the early 1990s. Globalization of the Indian Industry took place in its
various sectors such as steel, pharmaceutical, petroleum, chemical, textile, cement,
retail, and BPO.

Globalization means the dismantling of trade barriers between nations and the
integration of the nations economies through financial flow, trade in goods and services,
and corporate investments between nations. Globalization has increased across the
world in recent years due to the fast progress that has been made in the field of
technology especially in communications and transport. The government of India made
changes in its economic policy in 1991 by which it allowed direct foreign investments in
the country. As a result of this, globalization of the Indian Industry took place on a major
scale.
The various beneficial effects of globalization in Indian Industry are that it brought in
huge amounts of foreign investments into the industry especially in the BPO,

pharmaceutical, petroleum, and manufacturing industries. As huge amounts of foreign

direct investments were coming to the Indian Industry, they boosted the Indian
economy quite significantly. The benefits of the effects of globalization in the Indian
Industry are that many foreign companies set up industries in India, especially in the
pharmaceutical, BPO, petroleum, manufacturing, and chemical sectors and this helped
to provide employment to many people in the country. This helped reduce the level of
unemployment and poverty in the country. Also the benefit of the Effects of
Globalization on Indian Industry are that the foreign companies brought in highly
advanced technology with them and this helped to make the Indian Industry more
technologically advanced.
The various negative Effects of Globalization on Indian Industry are that it increased
competition in the Indian market between the foreign companies and domestic
companies. With the foreign goods being better than the Indian goods, the consumer
preferred to buy the foreign goods. This reduced the amount of profit of the Indian
Industry companies. This happened mainly in the pharmaceutical, manufacturing,
chemical, and steel industries. The negative Effects of Globalization on Indian Industry
are that with the coming of technology the number of labor required decreased and this
resulted in many people being removed from their jobs. This happened mainly in the
pharmaceutical, chemical, manufacturing, and cement industries.
The effects of globalization on Indian Industry have proved to be positive as well as
negative. The government of India must try to make such economic policies with regard
to Indian Industry's Globalization that are beneficial and not harmful.
