Until a comparatively few years ago
the Philippine Islands held their Sun
day on the day which was Monday to
the Inhabitants of the neighboring is
land of Borneo. This curious anomaly
arose from the historic fact that the
Philippines were discovered by Span
ish voyagers coming from the east
round Cape Horn. while Borneo was
discovered by Portuguese coming from
the west. and sailors lose or gain a day
according to their direction in crossing
