"Taga-ilog" is a Philippine (Tagalog) term that translates as "from/of the river" or, simply, riverine. Taga-ilog is the word from which the country name suggested by 19th century Filipino independentist heroes is derived. The inspiration is the archipelagic feature of the Southeast Asian country that renders its over 7,000 islands dotted with rivers or surrounded by bodies of water.
The continents of the world, if considered as one entity, is a big archipelago of diverse peoples and lands. In this view, the whole world is a riverine land of different people, races, cultures, governments, business and trading, and lifestyles.
