Rafa Fiery Cross

Rafa Fiery Cross (chiń. 永暑礁, Yǒngshǔ Jiāo, fil. Bahura ng Kagitingan, wiet. Đá Chữ Thập) – zmilitaryzowany i kontrolowany przez Chiny atol do którego posiadają rozszczenia terytorialne także Tajwan, Filipiny i Wietnam. Według Centrum Studiów Strategicznych i Międzynarodowych, jest to „najbardziej zaawansowana z chińskich baz” na spornych obszarach Morza Południowochińskiego i umożliwia ona na podejmowanie ograniczonych operacji wojskowych w zasięgu 5 600 kilometrów od rafy. Historia Nazwa rafy pochodzi od brytyjskiego klipera Fiery Cross, który rozbił się na niej 4 marca 1860 roku. Udokumentowane roszczenia chińskie do tego atolu po raz pierwszy pojawiają się 1935 roku. Atol został zajęty przez Chiny (ChRL) na początku 1988 r. co wywołało natychmiastowy sprzeciw Wietnamu i doprowadziło do lokalnej konfrontacji zbrojnej w marcu tego samego roku. W 2014 roku ChRL rozpoczęła rozbudowę atolu, który został przekształcony w silnie zmilitaryzowaną sztuczną wyspę o powierzchni 274 hektarów, a pod koniec roku znajdowało się na nim już około 200 chińskich żołnierzy. W lipcu 2016 Stały Trybunał Arbitrażowy w Hadze, działając na podstawie Aneksu VII do Konwencji Narodów Zjednoczonych o prawie morza, wydał wyrok w sporze wytoczonym przez Filipiny przeciwko Chinom. W orzeczeniu tym uznał, między innymi, że żaden z obiektów tworzących Spratleje nie jest wyspą, lecz są to skały, rafy i łachy, czyli obiekty nieterytorialne na które nie może być rozciągana suwerenność państwowa.

Fort San Antonio Abad

Fort San Antonio Abad (Spanish: Fuerte de San Antonio Abad), also known as Fort Malate or Fort San Antonio, is a fortification located in the Malate district of Manila, Philippines, completed in 1584 during the Spanish colonial period. History Named in honor of its patron saint, Saint Anthony the Abbot, the structure was originally built in 1584 in what was then a separate hamlet of Malate to serve as a rear protection for Manila, as well as to guard the Manila–Cavite route. The Spanish used the fort as a polvorista ("little fortress") or gunpowder magazine. The fort, known as Fuerte de Polverina, was captured by the British when they invaded Manila in 1762 during the Seven Years' War. They transformed the fort into a garrison from where the British forces launched their land offensive against the Spaniards defending Intramuros. The fort was returned to Spanish control upon the end of the British occupation of Manila in 1764 and again became a gunpowder storage facility. The fort fell into American hands in 1898 during the Battle of Manila. During the Philippine–American War, U.S. military authorities used the prison to carry out multiple executions by hanging. The first American to be executed by U.S. authorities was Harry Cline, an American civilian under the employment of the United States Army. On April 8, 1901, Cline rode out on a bicycle some 3 miles (4.8 km) from Parañaque. He saw four small Filipino boys gathering grass. Cline, "with no other apparent motive than natural depravity", proceeded to shoot the boys with a revolver, killing a boy named Agaton Rivera and wounding the other three. Cline was tried by an American military court for murder and three counts of assault with intent to kill. He was found guilty, sentenced to death, and executed by hanging on September 20, 1901. The fort was seized by occupying Imperial Japanese troops during World War II, when it was used as a bunker. Modern history The fort suffered considerable damage after the war, but was not restored until the 1970s. The restored fort is now enclosed within the confines of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Complex between the former location of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila and other buildings. Due to being within the central bank complex, security within the fort is strict. References External links Media related to Fort San Antonio Abad at Wikimedia Commons

Monument to the Heroes of 1896

The Monument to the Heroes of 1896 (Filipino: Monumento sa mga Bayani ng 1896, Spanish: El Grito de la Revolución) is a sculpture created in 1911 dedicated to the Philippine Revolution. History The Monument to the Heroes of 1896 was a privately funded venture and was inaugurated on September 3, 1911. It initially was installed at the site where the Balintawak Cloverleaf currently stands. Every August 26 until 1961, the Cry of Balintawak, which is widely regarded as the start of the Philippine Revolution, was commemorated at the site. In 1962, the observance's name was officially changed to "Cry of Pugad Lawin" and its date moved to August 23. The monument was dismantled in 1968 by the Bureau of Public Highways (BPH; now the Department of Public Works and Highways), to give way for the extension of the Manila North Diversion Road (MNDR; now the North Luzon Expressway) and the construction of the Balintawak Cloverleaf. The sculpture was stored along with garbage at a field office of the BPH. As a response various student groups campaigned to preserve the monument. The National Historical Commission (NHC) under its Chairman Carmen Guerrero Nakpil coordinated with University of the Philippines President Carlos P. Romulo for the relocation of the statue to the university's Diliman campus. The monument was inaugurated again on November 29, 1968, in front of the UP Vinzons Hall. Sculpture The Monument to the Heroes of 1896 was created by Ramón Martínez y Lázaro. The sculpture depicts a generic Katipunan member – although it is widely believed to depict Andrés Bonifacio. The sculpture portrays a yelling male figure raising his hands; his left holding a Katipunan flag and the other a bolo knife. Historians believe that the monument was the first memorial dedicated to Andrés Bonifacio and his revolutionaries preceding the 1933 Bonifacio Monument. The monument is dedicated to the Philippine Revolution, particularly the Cry of Pugadlawin.

Dalaguete Church

San Guillermo de Aquitania Parish Church, commonly known as Dalaguete Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Dalaguete, Cebu, Philippines. Dedicated to the French saint William of Gellone, also known as William of Aquitaine, it is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Cebu. The church was constructed in 1802 and was completed in 1825. Architecture and style Dalaguete Church is built of coral stones, has a three-level facade with religious embellished carvings and architectural features, a three-bodied bell tower, and a convent. The church's main building is connected to the bell tower by a low structure and the convent stands across the belfry. The side windows of the church has pointed arches at the top, hinting a Gothic influence. Inside the church are the ornate main and side retablos in Rococo style, and the ceiling paintings by Canuto Avila and his sons in 1935. Patron saint The true identity of the church's patron saint has been a debate for years. It is because the town fiesta of Dalaguete is celebrated not on May 28, which is the feast day of Saint William of Gellone. Instead, the town fiesta is celebrated every February 10, the feast day of another saint with the same name, William of Maleval. Recognitions The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the church as a national historical landmark in 2004. On June 27, 2019, the National Museum of the Philippines declared the "San Guillermo De Aquitania Church of Dalaguete", a National Cultural Treasure under the National Heritage Act, the fourth structure in Cebu. However, it was only on February 9, 2024, that the National Historical Commission of the Philippines historical marker was installed when José S. Palma and NMP-Cebu head Audrey Dawn Tomada led the unveiling ceremony. Thefts In 2002, several colonial era relics, including sculptures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Saints Thomas of Villanova, John of Sahagún, Vincent Ferrer and Anthony of Padua were stolen from the church. In 2024, the Dalaguete Parish Pastoral Council announced plans to file claims against auction house Leon Gallery after two religious sculptures suspected to be that of Saints Thomas of Villanova and John of Sahagún were found to have been auctioned off by the latter in 2017 and 2018.
