Background stats: Haiti vs Philippines

  Haitian Background stats

  Philippine Background stats

Background Haiti is one of the few nations in the Caribbean Sea to have a land border. It shares a 360km-long frontier with the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola, which Christopher Columbus himself discovered in 1492. Haiti occupies the western third of the island, with a total surface area of just under 28,000 sq km, while its neighbour has 49,000 sq km. Despite its significantly smaller size, it has just 240,000 fewer citizens with a population of some 9.7 million. Interestingly, Haiti is the only French-speaking nation in the region. The Philippines has the 13th highest population in the world, with 101 million citizens. It’s capital city, Manila (1.6m), is around three quarters the population of the highest populated city, Quezon City (2.1m). But both are part of Metro Manila, which has the 12th largest city population in the world, with some 9.2 million citizens.
