R.A. 10170 <http://www.gov.ph/2012/07/02/republic-act-no-10170/>, which was signed into law on July 2, 2012, has split QC's large 2nd district (mainly Novaliches area) into 3 bringing the number of QC's districts to 6.
These six districts now comprise QC's six legislative districts as well as the 6 Sangguniang Panlungsod districts. Thus, QC will have 6 House Representatives and 36 city council members (6 per district) starting from the 2013 National Elections. This reapportionment should have been done a long time ago. QC's population of about 2.7 million (bigger than most provinces) actually entitles it to around 10 districts. For the geeky details, you can check this Wikipedia article section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_House_of_Representatives#Redistricting I guess it's time to redraw the admin boundaries in OSM. QC is currently the only city in OSM who has the complete district boundaries (at least before this law was passed): http://www.itoworld.com/map/2#fullscreen&lat=14.680744275573186&lon=121.06097641093692&zoom=12 District I - http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1693446 District II - http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1789796 District III - http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1553880 District IV - http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1530604 _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
