San Bernardino Strait off the coast of British-occupied Manila

[edit]

This article has several egregious errors related to geography that needs to be fixed somehow. Unless there is a secret second San Bernardino Strait in the Philippines, this "San Bernardino Strait off the coast of British-occupied Manila" in the description is a geographical impossibility. San Bernardino Strait is on the southeastern tip of Luzon island, whereas the Manila coast is on the Western side of Luzon, within Manila Bay. A cursory click through the San Bernardino Strait link will show that it is far away from Manila and at no point in history were the city and the strait ever close. Another geographically inaccurate detail is the Location field on the infobox - "Off Cavite, Pacific Ocean" is also geographically impossible: the coastline of the province of Cavite faces the South China Sea to the West and has a portion within Manila Bay, but none of this coastline is on the Pacific Ocean.
