Philippine President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. speaks during a handover ceremony of the original Murillo Velarde 1734 map to the government at Malacanang presidential palace in Manila, Philippines, 06 December 2024. Known as the 'Mother of All Philippine Maps', the map was first created in 1734 by Jesuit priest and cartographer Pedro Murillo Velarde with the help of two Filipino artisans, Francisco Suarez and Nicolas de la Cruz Bagay. It was used as reference before The Hague Permanent Court of Arbitration, which ruled in favour of the Philippines in an 2016 arbitral case against China, over the disputed Scarborough Shoal islands in the South China Sea. The Velarde map was acquired by Mel Velasco Velarde in 2014 at an auction in Sotheby's in London, and later donated to the Philippine government. EPA-EFE/ROLEX DELA PENA
