Hi Erwin, Thanks for leading this work. As many of you know, I work in Mapbox and my primary focus is to make OSM navigable. I wonder what would be the best approach in the context of driving in the Philippines. Would love to share notes and approaches. One thing I have in mind (I shared this during the meetup), while every country has specific nuances tagging, there is a danger of making the tags too specific as its difficult to create routing engines for each country.
