Haters gonna hate but the future belongs to us! :D

Last I checked the Philippines was in South East Asia, guess they teach different geography in Bangladesh.
South East Asia is a sub-region of broader East Asia term. If you just divide Asia in east, west north and south then Philippines will be in East Asia. :-)

Going by your logic why isn't the Philippines part of South Asia then, since it is in the south!

The Philippines is a South East Asian country, and no one would club it along with the East Asian economies.

Philippines is too far east to be included in south asia. Plus they are ethnically and culturally related to East Asian population.So it would be more appropriate to include them to east asia rather then south.

Taiwan which is only 100 miles north of Philippines is considered east asian, so there is no reason that Philippines can't be the same. East asia and south east asia term are coined due to economic gap between those two region. If Philippines attain gdp per capita similar to Taiwan then they also will be considered East Asian. There is no geographic dividing line between the two. Southern China is about the same latitude with the northern Philippines.

Actually, there is no official definition for these terms that's what I said.

Indians are under the assumption that white man's got official definition for everything, like how the white man defined their country India.
Sadly, all western-led international organizations don't agree on the same definitions for geographical regions - they create their own official definitions specific to each organization.

Now a country created by the brown men of India is trying to define the geography of the world.

Draw a box around the boundaries of Asia, Philippines will come on the south-east corner of the box.

Forget about those hyphened term like south-east,north-east,north-west etc. etc.Those hyphened term is used to denote the corners.Now if we count the simple direction like east, west, north, and south then in which direction the Philippines would be you think?
