Mexico lies 58 km north-west of Manila, so Dhuhr in Mexico is called roughly 1 minute later than in Manila. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Mexico.
Qibla in Mexico and distance to Makkah
In Mexico you pray towards the west, at an angle of 288.9° from true north; the Kaaba is 8,482 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Mexico and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
