# Points of Interest poster No. 7, Philippines and U.S. (English, Manila)

A photo-collage sheet pairing Philippine and U.S. sights: Magellan's Monument on Mactan, a Taosug village, a kulintang player and Mayon Volcano beside Mount Vernon, Chicago's stock yards, Philadelphia and the Rocky Mountains. A sketched tourist with a camera sits at the foot. The text says understanding, the key to world friendship and goodwill, stems from knowledge gained through travel. The tell is glittering generalities ('world friendship and goodwill') carried by an even-handed pairing of ordinary tourist attractions.
