I also removed many of those claims in italics since they are more often than not, inaccurate. Imagine saying that Intramuros is the best preserved walled city in the world when it was totally devastated during the Second World War. What do you call the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Forbidden Purple City in Hue, Vietnam which are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites for being relatively intact? Also saying that the Marcela Agoncillo Shrine is the only shrine named after a woman when it's not even a national shrine; The correct name is Marcela Agoncillo National Landmark. Or that Siargao is the surfing capital of the world?! Who are we fooling? I have a list of shrines and landmarks here: http://ivanhenares.blogspot.com/2005/04/index-of-declared-structures-and-sites.html Ivanhenares 06:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Natural landmarks?

How can a hydro-electric plant (Ambuklao Dam), a man-made city (Baguio City) or road (Kennon Road) be considered as natural landmarks? --Anyo Niminus (talk) 17:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
