Salamat Maning for rectifying the topo maps. Just to clarify a bit, the topo maps that I uploaded is collaborative effort with my previous colleagues in an organization called Anthrowatch based in Quezon City. We had a scanner that everytime we would have a new topo map, we would scan and archive it. I do not even remember now which specific maps that I scanned personally. Anyway, I plan to upload more maps when time allows.
