There are several issues that prevent the map from displaying, and the polygon shape for loading:

  1. some small errors in source, caused by line returns: see browser console to check and correct these. (note these might not exist in your source, but may be caused by line wrapping when copy/pasting the source).

  2. Main issue is that the polygon coordinates should be wrapped in an array, as shown in bold in this example :

    var polygon = L.polygon( [ [8.94917, 125.54361],[9.00333023, 125.48916626], [8.85280991, 125.66551208] ] ).addTo(map);
