Hi maning, Actually, I mentioned in my e-mail that I have specifically excluded congressional districts[1] from the discussion since these do not specify administrative boundaries. Aside from the pork barrel, the representatives don't *administer* their territories. I think these should be tagged

Hi Marloue, Slightly off-topic question. Since you're from Davao City, are residents of the city adamant about insisting that Davao City is separate from Davao del Sur? *Some* people from Zamboanga City are positively vocal (and sometimes actually hostile!) whenever people say they are part of

Hi maning, For your second question, well Ian and I are already converting and implementing the borders in Metro Manila as relations (though the admin_levels are still not finalized). For example, see this relation for Brgy. Urdaneta in Makati: http://openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/103686 Or

I created a separate thread for this to give focus to the original topic. What I said is actually true, in March 1, 1937 (but Araw ng Dabaw is in March 16) Davao City is inaugurated by President Manuel L. Quezon as a chartered city by then Davao City is separated from Davao del Sur. Unlike Davao

I guess the DPWH is the agency that should know about these things? I'm not actually familiar with the Manila East,South,North road system. I'm just familiar (somewhat) with the Radial and Circumferential Road system of Metro Manila. As a bit of trivia, did you know that Republic Act No. 8224 (

This is interesting. Maybe we should compile these road (renaming) updates to get everybody informed (or at least understand the actions of MMDA as they don't tend to explain why they rename all those street signs). Does it mean that Katipunan Ave E.Rodriguez Ave (pasig) no longer exist? Are

Well, you can actually see the MMDA signs side by side with Quezon City and Pasig City signs with conflicting names. In my experience, people will use whatever damned name they choose. So Katipunan Ave. will still be Katipunan Ave. no matter what the lawmakers say. And the LRT-1 station is still
