Our ever so tropical Philippines is blessed with over 7,000 unique islands that compromise the archipelago. Every island has its own distinct beauty and edge – from hovering mountains, breathtaking valleys, steep hills and magnificent plains that stretch miles across, all offer nothing less of the best landscape views of the country, especially the rural areas.
A photo uploaded on Facebook page Mapmaker indicated how this map of the 100 biggest islands contains colors “from green to white and orange” that “exhibit the transition from the plains to the valleys, hills and mountains of the archipelago”. The artist is David Garcia.

Also, with the typhoon season in full swing, the illustrator also made a map about the “hazards posed by the storms and typhoons that crossed the archipelago for the past fifty years”.
