    When I was entered in CWTS++ Program, I am curious what is exactly will do in that  particular program. I am so glad that I am experiencing on what other mappers doing. We mapped and mapped just to give information or details to the people who use Open Street Map. In that way, even we as a student, we've been now contributing  an information in the Open Street Map.
    When my professor, assigned to us to know our neighborhood and capturing images to our neighborhood.I used the tool, Mappillary just to take imagery of my neighborhood.When I was go around and ready to take an image, some other people were curious on what I am doing. Ok,going back in taking pictures to my neighborhood, it's so been nice when you experienced and go around to your neighborhood even if it is tiring all the that will remove when you know that  you've been taking pictures for the sake of giving information or adding some information in the map using mappillary app.In my neighborhood ,there are some new buildings in our place so, I've been taking that using mappillary.For me, it is a happy experienced.After taking images , I upload it.
  In my fieldpapers, after collecting house numbers in my neighborhood and other new buildings.I uploaded it using the site of fieldpapers.org,and then I mapped  using ID editor just to put the house number address of my neighborhood, and then there are some buildings does not now exist so, don't put any adress on that houses.And then, I added some building that is are new in my neighborhood.And I saved it.
 CWTS++ Program, changed me a lot, because map, is important especially in giving accurate information in contributing in that particular map especially in Open Street Map because it is an open source, and it is free to all, freedom of giving or contributing in open street map.It is not about also mapping eh, it  is all about on teamwork, cooperation and determination on how you helped other people using mapping, like for example, when the typhoon ompong falls in the philippines, we, the pup student map those building in that particular area, para mabilis na makita 'yong mga bahay na nasalanta upang maabutan ng tulong. Nagmamapa rin kami or mabilis kaming rumesponde lalo na kapag may nasasalantang bagyo, minamapa namin iyon kaagad, upang mahatiran ng tulong or malaman ng mga rescuers or mga taong gustong tumulong kung sino o my mga bahay ba doon na nasalanta ng bagyo.So, Im happy to be part of them, I am happy as a CWTS++ Mapper. Thank You!
