correction to iluvluckybear_14: people of the Philippines are called Filipinos and not Philippino... our language is Filipino and not Tagalog (tagalog being a part only of many Filipino dialects)

Yes, the Philippines are a part of (Southeast) Asia--grouped along with the countries of Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, etc.

maejâ„¢ pretty much said the gist of everything else.

I must add--even though the Philippines are an island nation in the general body of water known as the Pacific Ocean, they do NOT fall under the "Pacific Islander" category. So, if someone--usually a first- or second-generation Filipino-American--tells you that Filipinos are Pacific Islander, don't listen to them. They're being stupid and ignorant.
