THE PHILIPPINE HUMAN MAP UNLIMITED
copyright@ 2009 AUGGUSTA de ALMEIDDA
The best thing about it is the weather. Bright and sunny when it starts forming at a little before 7 this Tuesday morning, the 17th of June 2008, in the Luneta in Manila. It is good augury for the Philippine Human Map or Mapang Tao ng Pilipinas, an event that is a First for the country, a First for the whole world (in ET lingo, “a First fot the planet”). There has not been any human map created in recent history anywhere in the world, at least not in the last two millennia of world civilization. Until today.
The task of the hour is to form “an actual living human configuration of the paradisal Philippine geography, a living delineation of its topographical contour from Batanes to Tawi-Tawi.”
At the Luneta today and with a weather so perfect that you can say it has been designed so by Mahal na Inang Kalikasan (Beloved Mother Nature), the declaration and affirmation of a chosen people’s stolen birthright is the statement of the day.
