The Western end of the
Rizal Park is marked by a relief
map of the Philippines in a pool of water. We're at the Southern end of the country—geographically, we'd be standing in the
Celebes Sea, with Malaysia on the left and Indonesia to the right and back—and the islands nearest us are those of
Sulu and
Basilan, which are both part of the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. I wish I could have taken a photo from a higher vantage point, but unless I stood on the
Light Rail Transit's track, this was as high as I could get. I was completely fascinated with the map as a child and I still am.

And That's My World!
