Because Philippine (without the s) is only used as an adjective, and adjectives aren't used for possession only nouns. Correct me if I'm wrong pero pananaw ko lang po hehe It think the correct way is Philippines’.

PHILIPPINE means coming from or endemic to the Philippines. PHILIPPINES' , on the other hand, means owned by the Philippines. e.g. Philippine Eagle is an eagle that is endemic to the Philippines. Philippines' eagle could be any eagle owned by the Philippines. :) PLEASE NOTE, EVERYONE :) It’d be more interesting to discuss the difference between
PHILIPPINE and PHILIPPINES’

NOTE: Philippine’s is grammatically incorrect.

PHILIPPINE means coming from or endemic to the Philippines.

PHILIPPINES’ , on the other hand, means owned by the Philippines.

e.g.

Philippine Eagle is an eagle that is endemic to the Philippines.

Philippines’ eagle could be any eagle owned by the Philippines.

:)

PLEASE NOTE, EVERYONE :)

This one's pretty basic; From Grade 2 Language class I believe. Any noun ending in S or Z, regardless of type or number, should have but an apostrophe as a possessive suffix. Hence, " Philippines' " is the correct possessive adjective pertaining to the Philippines. :) PLEASE NOTE, EVERYONE. I agree with both Crish and peter.
