Eugene / seav,
Yes, the southern part of Davao City and the northern part of Davao del
Sur is the boundary in the province of Sta. Cruz. If you notice here
http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.9742&lon=125.3851&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF
there is no boundary between Sta. Cruz and Davao City yet, I am looking
for the boundary data and if somebody has it, it will be great.
If voting will be needed regarding your proposal, you have my vote.
