OIL RICHES
Oil was first discovered in Brunei
in 1929. Since then, oil has also
been drilled offshore. Brunei’s most
important natural resource has
made the country very wealthy. Its
people enjoy free health care and
education, and pay no taxes.
RICE RESEARCH
Rice is the primary
food source for half
the world’s population.
Near Manila, in the
Philippines, scientists
are now experimenting
with ways of creating
rice plants that produce
greater yields. New
varieties are also being
developed to grow faster,
allowing farmers to
harvest and replant
several times during
one growing season.
THE PHILIPPINES
The people of the Philippines
are called Filipinos and are
mostly of Malay descent.
It is estimated that around
25 percent of the population
lives in poverty. As income is
higher in the cities, many
people move there in the hope
of escaping poverty. However,
lack of adequate housing means
that many poorer families have
to live in crowded slums.

STORMS AND VOLCANOES
The islands of the Philippines are
on a fault line and form part of the
“Pacific Ring of Fire”—an area prone
to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
When Mount Pinatubo, on the island
of Luzon, erupted in 1991, it destroyed
more than 40,000 homes.
In Malay,
orangutan
means
“man of the
jungle.”
