But note that Philippine block addressing scheme is always written as follows: "Block <number> Lot <number>". This is often abbreviated to "B<number> L<number>". The lot (aka parcel) number is generally equivalent to the building number used in Japanese addresses but the difference is that the lot numbers are assigned consecutively to each lot. Block addressing is usually intended to be a temporary address scheme while new streets are not yet named AND lots are not yet given "proper" numbers. But even if temporary, this scheme is often used for a long period. For example, my childhood house had the following address, "Block 7 Lot 16, E. Pascual Street", for more than 15 years before we were assigned a number: "46 E. Pascual Street".
