See the Photo of Mother of all Philippine map as announced. Mel Velarde shows the replica of 1734 Murillo Velarde map, the so-called mother of all Philippine maps.
Murillo Velarde’s map of the Philippine archipelago is a landmark in the depiction of the islands, and the first scientific map of the Philippines. It is flanked by two pasted-on side-panels with twelve engravings, eight depicting native costumed figures, a map of Guajam (Guam) and three city or harbour maps, notably Manila.
PHILIPPINES has legal claim over its EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE in the West Philippine Sea, report says. The government will submit a 300-year-old map of the Philippines to a United Nations arbitral tribunal to support its petition to nullify China’s claim to Philippine territory in the South China Sea.
