 I AND 'MALI' THE "WORLD'S SADDEST ELEPHANT"



This is me (wearing a sando with Mojack printed on it) in front of an Asian elephant's enclosure inside Manila Zoo with my cousins...during our family trip to the nation's capital almost 2- decades ago.


...Vishwa Ma'ali commonly known as Mali a female Asian elephant who lived at Manila Zoo in Manila …

Born in Sri Lanka, she was given as a gift to First Lady Imelda Marcos by the Sri Lankan government in 1981 and lived at Manila Zoo.

On November 28, 2023, Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna announced that Mali had died at around 3:45 p.m. that day.

The Manila city government said it will preserve Mali's remains which would be displayed in a museum. It also considered requesting the Sri Lankan government a replacement elephant.

Municipal Mayors of Alabel Municipality of Alabel, Sarangani Province In many countries, a mayor  is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town. Worldwide, there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise mandated. Depending on the system chosen, a mayor may be the chief executive officer of the municipal government, may simply chair a multi-member governing body with little or no independent power, or may play a solely ceremonial role. Options for selection of a mayor include direct election by the public or selection by an elected governing council or board. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor
