Re: [talk-ph] On legally defined LGU boundaries and recent land developments

2021-06-13 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
I don't think we can have any definitive solution here. People will
interact with the LGU of their preference or practicality despite what
boundaries on paper or laws state.

Long-time OSM mapper Rally have plenty of stories regarding people choosing
Taytay vs. Cainta.

My personal preference is to go with what laws state in absence of any
additional info. (Note that laws creating or converting LGUs almost always
have a "disclaimer" about boundary disputes.) Next in preference is a
variation of the "on-the-ground" rule: check what residents consider their
LGUs to be: where they vote, which LGUs they get their cedulas, or register
their businesses in, or file real estate taxes, etc.

[talk-ph] On legally defined LGU boundaries and recent land developments

2021-06-12 Thread Jherome Miguel
In light of previous incidents where there have been attempts to shoehorn
some land developments (usually subdivisions or planned developments) into
one LGU (usually a city or municipality, or a barangay) where legally it
straddles two or more, e.g. the CCP Complex between Manila and Pasay, The
Glens at Park Spring between San Pedro and DasmariƱas, I would want to
start a discussion about dealing with legally-defined LGU boundaries where
there have been a recent development built above it. I'm noticing there has
been a tendency to place a certain land development across a long-existing
legal boundary within one LGU, and I also admit I had that temptation in
the past as well.
