Welcome to The Kingdom of the Philippines or Reino de Filipinas.

Filipinas as many locals preferred to call it, is one of the last Monarchies in Asia. Ruled by King Leoncio IV, the Kingdom continues to strive economically and today it is one of the thriving financial hubs in Southeast Asia. It is dubbed as the Queen of the Orient Pearl and one of the economic tigers in Asia.

Due to its archipelagic nature, the country has a diverse culture and people that spoke not just one but 187 languages, but the national and official language along with English is Filipino or Tagalog. With this complexity coupled with the hospitality of the Filipinos and its amazing beaches, Filipinas is the number 1 tourist destination chosen by many travelers.

The Spaniards played an important role in why Filipinas is a great Kingdom today. Colonized by Spain for 300 years, the country adopted its government system. In 1934, Filipinas was granted freedom and Spain let them establish the first Reino de Filipinas Government and the inception of the laws and principles of the Kingdom, the Constitucion Filipinas. The first rulers of the whole Kingdom were the venerable  King Eugenio and Queen Aurora.

By the year 1985, a great change shook the whole Kingdom as the Crown announced that there will be the separation of State and Government thus abolishing the old Monarchy system. In place of the old system, the birth of the  Constitutional Monarchy of the Reino de Filipinas. The first Prime Minister was elected during this year and he ruled the government for five years with the help of the newly elected officials.

And for over 30 years, Reino de Filipinas was under Constitutional Monarchy. The Royals or the Monarchs ruled the State and represents the sovereign but they don't hold a position in any government office, they also revoked their rights to vote. However, a law should be approved by the King before it will be announced as such. Though their duties are purely ceremonial, the Royal Family is considered a vital part of the state as they represent a part of the country's history and the people's unity.

But, WHO ARE THE ROYAL FAMILY of the PHILIPPINES/FILIPINAS?

The Royal Family is very private headed by King Leoncio IV and Queen Anne, they stayed out of the limelight as much as possible but paparazzi and social media made it all difficult. Their faces are everywhere, from society page magazines, Twitter to F******k, the Royal is indeed the most ubiquitous people in the whole Filipinas.

The people's favorite would be the four gorgeous Princes of the Royal Family.

Topping the list would be His Royal Highness The Heir Apparent, Prince Edward Liam Alessio. He's the nation's Crown Prince, though a man of few words he's a real charmer with a gorgeous smile and  150 pus IQ, every girl in the palace dreamed to be his Crown Princess.

Another lady's favorite is the third in line to the throne, Prince Yñaki. He's a fine prince in a suit with a penchant for muscle cars, the ultimate best friend of the Crown Prince. Easygoing, handsome, and mouth drooling. Dapper, gallant with a dash of humor on the side, were the reasons why ladies want to throw themselves to the third prince.

But in every family there will always be a black sheep and royalty or not, there's no exemption to this.  The Royal Family has two and goes by the name of Prince Lazlo and Prince Lachlan, both were drop-dead gorgeous bad boys who choose girls and bikes over books and studies. Dubbed by the media as Royal Rebel and Fuvkboi respectively, scandal follows them everywhere faster than their Lambos and Bugatti. They're the walking pain in the ass, if I may add.

Last but not least, Princess Viktoria Isbel is the gem of the Royal Family. Her beauty is ethereal and though the youngest of all the Royals, she's a force to be reckoned with.  Adventurous, free-spirited, and a bit impulsive, she's the King's favorite and the Kingdom's sweet princess.

Señor and Señoritas, join me, and together let us all witness the glitz, glamour, adventure, and drama of the life of The Royals.
