The Republic of the Philippines can be found at the west side of the Pacific Ocean, and is a Southeast Asian sovereign state. This country is susceptible to typhoons and earthquakes due to its position on the Pacific Ring of Fire, but this tropical weather has blessed the nation with diversity thanks to its varied natural resources.

The people of this country know how to maximize the use of its abundant resources, and have been exporting a lot of these raw items to other countries for years, including electronics, fruits, and even manual labor. This nation is proud of these Philippine export products because of their long lasting success in the market:

Electronics

Intel is the main producer of the powerful Pentium and Core central processing units which serve as the brains of many computers and portable devices in the market today. Their facility in the Philippines has been in operation for more than 30 years, exporting different computer products.

Another major exporter is the plant of Texas Instruments in Baguio, which has been manufacturing DSP chips for Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile phones for over two decades now. The Toshiba brand used to make laptop computers in its office in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. In 2005, it started concentrating on the creation of computer hard disk drives.

Fruits

The Philippines is the global Top 2 when it comes to exporting bananas, with Japan importing a huge percentage of the product. This nation also imports pineapples and mangoes, but bananas continue to rake in most of the profit, amounting up to $250 million in revenue.

Copper

While the people living in this country know how to tap their natural resources, copper has an estimated $840 billion in untouched mineral deposits. This mineral is transformed into a conductor wire that is used to transfer power or sound to electronics such as earphones, power adaptors, transistors and capacitors.

People

One of the biggest Philippine export products is of course, the people themselves. Without their efforts, other countries will not enjoy the raw materials that they import. About 10 million Filipinos work and live in other countries to earn money for their loved ones.
