Hi Erwin,

This QC Risk Atlas is interesting. The barangay boundaries depicted here
are different in several places from a map published by QC previously that
was the source of the QC barangay boundaries that are now in OSM.

 Although "general areas", the approximate boundaries can be mapped.
 Also, some barangays are inside a certain district, and a ground survey on
 addresses of places on those barangays can be used to verify them.

 A few can be defined by surrounding streets (e.g. Santa Mesa Heights
 district boundaries are formed by its surrounding roads,like Quezon Avenue,
 Araneta Avenue, Del Monte Avenue, and Mayon Avenue). and water bodies like
 rivers, or both (Diliman looks like to be one example. The Diliman Creek
 forms one part of the approximate boundary, while roads, like Katipunan
 Avenue, Commonwealth Avenue, North Avenue, West Avenue, a part of Quezon
 Avenue, Don A. Roces Avenue, and a portion of Tomas Morato Avenue forms the
 rest.

 Hope this advice helps.

Manila's administrative and legislative districts boundaries were mapped
because the data or information about them is available.

Manila's administrative districts are defined by law in R.A. 409, which is
the Revised Charter of the City of Manila. For example, here's the
description of the boundary of the district of Quiapo:

Beginning at the intersection of the center lines of Calle Azcarraga and
> Estero de Quiapo; thence along the center lines of Calle Azcarraga, Legarda
> and E. Mendiola, Estero de San Miguel, the Pasig River, Puente Colgante,

>

It's then just a simple matter of determining which modern streets
correspond to which old street name (Calle Azcarraga is C.M. Recto Avenue,
while Puente Colgante is now Quezon Bridge, etc.)

Manila's legislative districts are defined in the Ordinance section of the
1987 Philippine Constitution. For example, here's the description of the
boundary of the 5th district:

Barangays Nos. 649-828 N - Mouth of Pasig River inland to point Paz M.
