History

Main Article: History of the Philippines

Beginnings

Philippines began as a nation in the New World in February 11, 2009 along with Serbia, Malaysia and Singapore. Much of the real-life Filipinos anticipated and was happy to see that they can finally move to their real home, The Philippines. But for some of the rest of the citizens of the New World, the Philippines is the best spot for easy gold grabs.

First Political Takeover

As days pass, the Filipinos initiated an insurgency in order to secure their Independence, Democracy and their Treasury from foreign pirates and political terrorists. The first war against these people started in the first congressional elections in February 25, 2009. But, later on, unfortunately these people won the majority of the congress and looted the treasury of the Philippines. Another war will then emerge later on in the First Presidential Election.

The First Philippine Republic

The First Philippine Republic, was the period when the Philippines was under Bunaly when he successfully won the Presidential seat. For those people who didn't knew who was Bunaly, he was a Brazilian who cheated the Filipinos and ransack the treasury of the Philippines.

Bunaly looted Image:12px-PhilippinePeso.svg.png50000. Thus, making the Philippine treasury empty. Fortunately, Bunaly was temporarily banned by the Administrators of eRepublik and would later be impeached by the First Philippine Congress.

Upon the impeachment of Bunaly, the First Philippine Republic came to an end.

The Second Philippine Republic

The Filipinos were happy to see a Philippines who is free from political foreign rule. Though, economically poor, the Filipinos tried their best to build a Philippines that would be known as a power in the New World. But, the plans were halted when the Filipino Progressive Movement (FPM) came into the setting. Being foreigners, they are subjects to suspicions by the local natives. Later on during the second congressional elections, they would accumulate much of the congress. And moreover, they will take the Presidential seat with Big Boy Bulley as their candidate during the second Presidential Elections. Thus, with the succession of Big Boy Bulley into the Malacanang Palace, the start of the Second Philippine Republic.

In the Second Philippine Congress, much tax reforms were done during this national legislature. By this, led by the FPM, the Philippines zoom to progress.

The Second Political Takeover

The progress was again halted when the Secta Guru Varnish, a group of Spanish lunatics and freaks, successfully PTOed the Third Philippine Congress. Under the SGV occupation, they spammed the Philippine Media, destroyed the taxes, and eventually destroyed the economy and looted the remaining treasury. They planned to take the Presidential seat too, but the day before the third Presidential election will start, Jurgo Evergetes resigned from his candidacy.

Contemporary Philippines

After the failed attempt of the SGV to fully occupy the government of the Philippines last May 5, 2009, they immediately moved out from the country and went to TO France.

Today, the Philippines is now in its way to progress. With HazzN, Ariel David Buena, and Reclusive Monkey, more improvements will be installed in the Philippines. During Big Boy Bulley's first and second terms, he had able to buy Defense Systems and Hospitals for the country.

Citizenship

Naturally, any citizen who had been a resident of the Philippines during the implementation of the Citizenship Module on July 16, 2009 will have automatically the Philippine Citizenship. Also, any newly registered citizens to the game will automatically have the citizenship. But, if any eRepublik citizen who wants to be a citizen of the Philippines should first apply for a citizenship request found in the Country Page of the Philippines in the game.

These requests are then determined in the hands of the members of the Philippine Congress through a popular poll in the forums. Once a decision is made, a list of approved requests in the forum will determine the approval of the requests found in-game. Prior to any citizenship debate, a citizenship applicant may be interrogated for initial tests and questions. The answers of the applicant will also be presented to Congress. This will also influence the Congress if they will accept any citizenship requests.
