🐟 For decades, a rumour has haunted ocean exploration. Somewhere in the western Pacific lies a trench supposedly deeper than the Mariana Trench: The Philippine Trench. And every few years, the claim resurfaces. Articles hint at it. Forums debate it. Yet when scientists check the data, the numbers don't quite add up. So why does this idea keep coming back?

The answer isn't just about measurements or mistakes. It's about how a handful of famous soundings became legend, why this trench is so hard to map cleanly, and what its earthquake behaviour means for millions living nearby. This is the story of a myth that won't die, and the dangerous reality hiding beneath it.
