The Philippines is not part of Oceania. It is actually located in Southeast Asia. The country is an archipelago consisting of over 7,000 islands, situated in the western Pacific Ocean. While the Philippines is geographically close to some parts of Oceania, it is generally considered part of the Asian continent.
Oceania, on the other hand, includes regions such as Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and the Pacific Islands. These areas are distinct from the Philippines in terms of geography, culture, and political boundaries.
So, while the Philippines shares some cultural and historical ties with certain Oceanic countries, it is not classified as part of Oceania.
