This photograph remains etched in my memory (much like the carving on the stone) as one of the most important documented monuments on Earth. It was this photo that gave me reason to connect with Arnel Domag, a fellow surveyor half-way around the world.
Friends, Cecilio & I belong to the same Regional Division of Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines, Inc., a professional organization for Geodetic Engineers and sole accredited org by the Philippine Professional Regulation Commission.
Cecilio Reyes (also an LSU member) spearheaded the protection of this most precious stone in the Philippines in his capacity as the National President of the Geodetic Engineering of the Philippines, Inc. Congratulations sir!
Please allow me to take this opportunity to introduce to you guys, James Hernando (who provided information below). He's passionate and a great Filipino surveyor. I am glad to have him as one of my new friends in the industry.
