Relief – Philippines Gold

Looks like I missed adding this one to the site. Relief – Philippines Gold is a copy of the Philippines Red mug, but has a different colour scheme.

Here are the symbols and points of interest of Philippines that made it to the design of this mug:

– Tubbataha Reef is one of the world’s most spectacular marine sanctuaries. Located in the Sulu Sea, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with diverse marine life, including over 600 species of fish and 360 species of coral. Its remote location ensures its pristine condition, making it a dream destination for divers.

– The Philippine Milkfish, locally known as “bangus,” is the country’s national fish. Widely farmed and enjoyed in various dishes, it holds cultural and economic importance. Its delicate flavor and versatility make it a staple in Filipino cuisine.

– The Chocolate Hills in Bohol are a geological wonder composed of more than a thousand perfectly conical mounds. During the dry season, the grass covering these hills turns brown, resembling rows of chocolate drops. Their unique formation has sparked legends and remains one of the most photographed landscapes in the Philippines.

– The Philippine Pearl, specifically the South Sea Pearl, is one of the largest and most valuable pearls in the world. Cultivated in the country’s warm, clear waters, it symbolizes beauty, purity, and elegance. It has earned global recognition and is cherished both locally and internationally.

– Manila City Hall is one of the most recognizable government buildings in the capital. Its unique hexagonal clock tower and neoclassical architecture stand as historical symbols of the city. It remains a central landmark representing the nation’s governance and heritage.

– Mayon Volcano, located in Albay, is famous for its near-perfect cone shape. It is an active volcano, often called the “world’s most beautiful volcano” for its symmetrical slopes. Despite its eruptions, it continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for locals and visitors alike.
