As far as I remember, those city names where OSM place=town/city
nodes. I extracted that data for Andre last year (unless they updated
the data).

You mark a point there Eugene, that could indeed be the reason for the word
"City" in road signs.
I think we should at least be consistent in the different pages / websites.

Hi Eric,
There's actually a tag for the official name: official_name=*
For the name=* tag itself, it should be what casual people expect to see on
maps.
So it could be something like:
name=Makati City
official_name=City of Makati
name:tl=Lungsod ng Makati
official_name:tl=Lungsod ng Makati
or
We should follow the Philippine Standard Geographic Codes (PSGC) which
is available at http://www.nscb.gov.ph/ACTIVESTATS/PSGC/default.asp
The official city names are listed there in the quick table. So the
official name will either be "City of " or " City" as
indicated in the table there.
Hi Totor,
We are having the same problem in Wikipedia. The current naming convention
there is to add the "City" but there's a proposal to drop the "City" in most
of them. Except for those cities that share names with other prominent
places (Iloilo, Cebu, Davao, Cotabato, Isabela, Quezon, Sorsogon
Yes interesting topic. In my research on this for the OSM page, I found
that its subjective to include the City in the name, usually it makes
sense to include it for places where there is a province or municipality
of the same name.
technically speaking the official name is 'Lungsod ng Manil
Hi everybody
I put back the City in some city names in cebu :
Mandaue City,
Lapu-Lapu City
and
Danao City
They were removed some time ago, and while it makes sense
(unlike Cebu City, there is no Mandaue island or province...),
the road signs indicate Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu City.
