At first glance, the Philippines may seem small on a world map, but appearances can be misleading. With over 300,000 km² of land spread across its islands, the country is actually larger than many assume.
This misconception largely comes from the Mercator projection, one of the most commonly used map styles. While it preserves shape and direction, making it useful for navigation, it significantly distorts size. Areas near the poles appear much larger, while countries closer to the equator, like the Philippines, are minimized.
Because of this, places like Greenland often look enormous, sometimes comparable to Africa, when in reality, it spans about 2.1 million km², roughly seven times the size of the Philippines, not dramatically larger as maps may suggest. Meanwhile, the Philippines even exceeds the land area of the United Kingdom, which measures around 243,000 km².
Maps help us understand the world, but they don’t always tell the full story. Recognizing how projections influence what we see allows us to better interpret global size and scale, and appreciate the Philippines for its true geographic extent. #Philippines #map #cartography
people say "women are not paid less, they just pick empathy careers." ok.!!! but who decided nursing and teaching are worth less? like we will pay a sales guy 150k to move numbers around, but pay a nurse pennies to literally keep people alive, or give a teacher crumbs and wonder why future generations are failing every test. it is not that empathy based work is less valuable it is that we’ve normalized underpaying it because it’s "women’s work."
Boy wrote "Jesus is REAL" before he passed away
His father shared on social media "Before my son Jonathan was resuscitated.. he signalled to me as if he is seeing someone.. but i can't understand him.. so i gave him a paper and a pen to write down what he wants to tell me.. but i couldn't read his writing.. he is so weak already and shaking and can't hold the pen properly.. but before the nurses called code blue.. he was able to write this Jesus is real.. and it amazed me because it is so clearly readable.. and i believe he saw Jesus coz Aidy my wife seen a bright light.. and a hand holding my son ascending.. and he was smiling."
In 5 hours and 57 minutes a young girl will be euthanized for depression in Spain.
Doctors are going to inject a toxin into her veins that stops her body’s ability to breathe.
Noelia Castillo Ramos has no idea how loved she is!
My wife and I made this giant card that we are filling with the names of all of the people on X who are leaving words of love and encouragement for her.
It doesn’t have to be this way! She has been making some progress on walking and AI medical breakthroughs are coming soon that will likely change her outlook on life. Including possibly taking away most of the pain and restoring more functionality!
The euthanasia procedure is scheduled to take place in her room at St. Camil Residential Hospital at 6:00 PM local time in Barcelona. She plans to be dressed nicely and even have a little makeup on. She has also requested to be alone at the moment it happens, which is extremely sad to think about.
If you have the ability to be there today, please do! We want her to hear thousands of supporters outside encouraging her to choose life. Sing loudly on all sides of the building in case her room is in the back. We want her to know she will be loved and cared for by the community around her if and when she comes out of that door.
If you or anyone you know works at the hospital, try to find a way to help!
The government has failed her twice already. We aren’t going to allow them fail her a third time without a fight! Please look outside Noelia and see everyone who is here for you.
Dear Noelia Castillo Ramos, please don't take your life tomorrow!
You are a child of God and we all love you. We are trying to find the location so my team and I can book tickets to Spain and bring hundreds of people with us to show you how much we care about you.
We are not going to sit by while this happens. We will physically stand in the way if we have to. Nothing you are facing is too much to overcome. You have no idea how many people are ready to come together for you if you choose to live. Don’t give up!
