M1176: Marigondon Beach Postcard

The postcard shows the Marigondon Beach located on Mactan Island in Cebu. The beach has white and fluffy sand and the sea is a translucent shade of turquoise. The beach is also good for scuba divers since it has coral reefs just 300 yards off the beach. The Marigondon Cave is the highlight of any underwater excursion in the area.

M1175: Moslem Mosque Postcard

The postcard shows a Moslem mosque in Marawi City, Lanao del Norte. The postcard, however, did not identify the mosque. I tried to identify it but this mosque looks different to other Marawi mosques I have seen online.
