FYI, I believe I removed all instance of "Province of" in the is_in:state tag. The db should be a bit smaller now.
Since the major source of the data came from GNS, a few observations I noticed: - there is state/province labeled Kalinga-Apayao. This should be either Kalinga or Apayao only. I simply removed the "Province of" text. - no GNS place with Zamboanga Sibugay prov/state label. Obviously, since this is a newly created province. As axk commented, many GNS places are mislocated please adjust the position of these nodes as you encounter them.
