Plaza Mexico (Manila)

Plaza Mexico is a historic riverside square in Manila, Philippines, located at the west end of Magallanes Drive and Riverside Drive in Intramuros, bordering the Pasig River in the north. It is surrounded by the Aduana Building on the south, the Bureau of Immigration Building on the east and the ruins of the Bastión de Maestranza and Puerta de Almacenes on the west. The Pasig River Ferry had a station named Plaza Mexico located northeast of the square behind the Immigration building. The square was renamed Plaza Mexico in 1964 to commemorate the 4th centenary of the expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi and Andres de Urdaneta from New Spain (Mexico) and the historic Manila-Acapulco galleon trade relations between the two nations that lasted 250 years. Located on this square is the monument to the IV Centenary of the Mexico–Philippines Maritime Expedition donated by the Mexican Secretary of The Navy Shipyards during the 1964 celebrations of the Year of Mexican-Philippine Friendship. On the other side of the square is a statue of Adolfo López Mateos, the President of Mexico who visited the city in 1962. History Until 1904, the area of Plaza Mexico contained the walls of the Baluarte de Santo Domingo, which enclosed the Aduana Building and the old Santo Domingo Church. That year, the American colonial government, seeing the need to develop and expand the Pasig River docks, decided to tear down its walls and open up this side of Intramuros. The Magallanes Monument, originally erected in 1848 in the centre of the esplanade called Paseo de Magallanes to honour the Portuguese navigator who had arrived on the country's islands while in search of the Maluku Islands, was transferred to this site fronting the Aduana Building. The monument was destroyed during World War II. From 1962 to 1964, a series of cultural exchanges between the Philippines and Mexico was held to celebrate the Year of Mexican-Philippine Friendship. This resulted in the creation of several landmarks in the city dedicated to Mexico and the Philippines' long historical and cultural ties to the Latin American country. They include Plaza Mexico and its monuments, the statue of Mexican hero Miguel Hidalgo on Bonifacio Drive, and the renaming of Taft Avenue Extension in Pasay to Mexico Road. The Pasig River Ferry Service opened in 2007, with one of its terminus at Plaza Mexico. However, to make way for the Binondo–Intramuros Bridge, the station was demolished in 2018. As of 2025, there were plans to construct another station in Intramuros. In 2025, with the third phase of the Pasig River rehabilitation was inaugurated at Plaza Mexico. It envisions 2,000 square meters of open activity space, connecting the Pasig River Esplanade to Fort Santiago. Gallery See also Mexico–Philippines relations References

Malabungot

Malabungot, alternatively spelled as Malabungut, and also known as Mahad, is an island in Binagasbasan Bay off the coast of Garchitorena in Camarines Sur, Philippines. It is separated from Caramoan Peninsula in the south by the Quinalasag Passage, also known as Sisiran Passage, which connects Lamit and Sisiran bays. The island forms the head of Binagasbasan Bay, bordered to the west by the Lamit Islands and to the east by Quinalasag Island, and which opens northward to the Philippine Sea. It is designated as a protected landscape and seascape on account of its biodiversity and ecological significance. Geography Malabungot is one of several small islands lying off the coast of Caramoan Peninsula shared between the municipalities of Garchitorena, Caramoan and Lagonoy in the Partido District of Camarines Sur. It belongs administratively to the Garchitorena barangay of Binagasbasan along with the Lamit Islands, and Pawican and Puling islets in Lamit Bay. The island is largely flat and measures 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) long and 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) wide at its widest point. It is situated on the edge of a shore reef in an irregular-shaped bay lying between Quinalasag and Lamit Islands, which are two small islands separated by a narrow impassable channel. It is approximately 0.6 kilometres (0.37 mi) from the mainland of Garchitorena. Conservation The island comprises 120.62 hectares (298.1 acres) of lowland evergreen forests and sandy beaches. It is part of a wilderness area established in 1981 comprising the Malabungot, Basot and Quinalang (Quinalasag) islands of Camarines Sur. The area is known for its diverse ecosystems such as vast mangrove forests, seagrass beds and hard coral reefs which serve as feeding and breeding ground for a variety of marine life, including green sea turtles, hawksbill sea turtles, whale sharks, manta rays and dugongs. Several other fish species can be seen here including seahorses, giant clams, swordfish, snappers, groupers and skates. The wilderness area is also surrounded by thick patches of mangroves that attract birds such as mangrove blue flycatchers, barred rails, zebra doves, kingfishers, Pacific swallows, yellow-vented bulbuls, and chestnut munias. Despite its status as a marine protected area, these habitats are still threatened by human activities, including dynamite and cyanide fishing due to lack of political and financial support resulting to poor governance and enforcement.

Limbones Island

Limbones Island is an island located at the southern entrance of Manila Bay. It is also the furthest island from Metro Manila. It is under the jurisdiction of Maragondon, Cavite. Geography Limbones Island and the other islands of Manila Bay fall under the jurisdiction of the Cavite province. It has a rocky landscape with the highest elevation located roughly at the island's center. It has an estimated area of 22.4 hectares (55 acres). Due to its location as the farthest island from Metro Manila, it is the only island at the bay which was not turned into a fort by the Americans. Instead of fortifying the island, they built fire control stations, docking areas, concrete staircases, and a cable system. History World War II During World War II, the island served as the “eye” of the Filipino and American forces guarding Manila Bay so it can see 3.9 kilometres (2.4 mi) further out into the mouth of Manila Bay from Fort Frank. This is because it is situated at the bay's very entrance, making ships coming from the South China Sea visible from anyone standing on the island. The island endured multiple bombings by Japanese forces during the height of the war. However, nobody was permanently stationed on the island during the time of the bombings. Ecosystems Biology The sea floor 15 feet below is dotted with live and healthy corals. It has many coral varieties, fish species, and amazing crustaceans, including the mantis shrimp, a type of shrimp that possesses a set of multi-colored exoskeleton.

Limbones

Limbones est une île située à l’entrée sud de la baie de Manille. C’est aussi l’île la plus éloignée de la région métropolitaine de Manille. Elle est sous la juridiction de Maragondon, province de Cavite, région de Calabarzon. Géographie Limbones et les autres îles de la baie de Manille relèvent de la juridiction de la province de Cavite. Elle a un paysage rocheux, avec son point culminant situé à peu près au centre de l’île. Sa superficie est estimée à 22,4 hectares (55 acres). En raison du fait qu’il s’agit de l’île la plus éloignée de la région métropolitaine de Manille, c’est la seule île de la baie qui n’a pas été transformée en fort par les Américains. Au lieu de fortifier l’île, ils ont construit des postes de contrôle de tir, des zones d’amarrage, des escaliers en béton et un système de câbles de communication. Histoire Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’île a servi d'« œil » aux forces philippines et américaines qui gardaient la baie de Manille, car depuis l’île on peut voir 3,9 kilomètres plus loin dans l’embouchure de la baie de Manille depuis Fort Frank. En effet, elle est située à l’entrée même de la baie, ce qui rend les navires venant de la mer de Chine méridionale visibles de tous ceux qui se trouvent sur l’île. L’île a subi de multiples bombardements par les forces japonaises au plus fort de la guerre. Cependant, personne n’était stationné en permanence sur l’île pendant la période des bombardements. Écosystèmes Le fond marin, à 15 pieds sous la surface, est parsemé de coraux vivants et sains. Il possède de nombreuses variétés de coraux, des espèces de poissons et des crustacés étonnants, y compris la crevette-mante, un type de crevette qui possède un exosquelette multicolore. Accidents Le 30 mars 2025 juste avant l’aube, un cargo, le MV Cashphill XV, a pris feu dans l’océan près de l’île de Limbones. La Garde côtière philippine (PCG) a immédiatement répondu et le BRP Boracay (FPB-2401) a été dépêché pour secourir sept membres d’équipage, dont le capitaine du navire, qui n’a subi que des blessures mineures. Cinq autres membres d’équipage ont été secourus par la sous-station de la Garde côtière (CGSS) de Maragondon et ont immédiatement reçu les premiers soins. Une enquête a été lancée sur la cause de l’incendie.
