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

I agree, it's the level in the hierarchy is confusing. In case of Davao City we have 3 districts that covers only Barangays (By the way, Davao City is not part of Davao del Sur as what others thought). In North Cotabato we have 4 districts with 18 municipalities. But classifying the different distr

Sounds like a good proposal to me. Do we vote? :) Let's wait for the others to look into it before we start implementing. I'm not really sure what is the extent of coverage of existing admin boundary data that we need to edit to follow this convention. Next question would be, will it be a relati

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 Zam

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).

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 V
