(NAVOTAS PIO/ MANILA BULLETIN) “This map helped us establish in the international court that Scarborough Shoal is ours. The shoal has been a traditional fishing ground of Filipinos, including my family, and we should not allow other countries to claim otherwise,” Navotas Mayor Toby Tiangco said. “We hope that through this map, young generations of Filipinos will continue the fight to our rightful claim over Scarborough Shoal as well as the West Philippine Sea,” he added. The Murillo Velarde map is the first scientific map of the entire archipelago, and has been regarded as the “Mother of all Philippine maps.”
