Where in the World is Rene Now?

After a short stay in Hong Kong, my Favorite Sister has moved on to her next destination, where she will be staying for 10 months. Can you guess where she is now?

Here are a few clues:

tropical climate
7000+ islands with white sand
over 200 volcanoes
formally under Spanish rule, it is now in the hands of the USA
its capital city was named after a white-flowered mangrove plant, the nilad
during war, its flag is hoisted upside-down
Southeast Asia
Rene has been studying Tagalog in preparation for this trip

So, any guesses?
