Eugene, this map is one of the most professional ones I've seen so far on-line. I'd say that it's even better than the Britannica ones. Is there an unlabeled version so non-English Wikipedias can use it too? --Menchi 11:09 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks! I really love maps, and making them is something I enjoy. :) Sure, I could upload a blank version. I was meaning to do that later, anyway. —seav 13:13 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Done. See Media:Ph_regions_and_provinces_blank.png. —seav 22:44 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I'll use it on the Chinese Wikipedia. I must! Since it looks too nice.

Is this the original version before you added the English labels? You didn't start from this English map and then remove the labels, right? (I assume so because the later methods would takes a long.....time.) --Menchi 22:59 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Well, my original source file had the labels on separate layers, so it was a matter of hiding those layers to get the blank version. I consider the labelled version the original because it originally was meant to have labels. :) —seav 05:05 19 Jun 2003 (UTC)

1. New province - Shariff Kabununsuan
