Some suggestions to make these edits better:

Instead of combining the name of the government offices occupying the same building, add those POIs individually.

I know that it's a bit tedious, but when mapped as separate features, it allows other people to find them easily, and can add more details (e.g. contact details,) for each, separately.

If you prefer a "gamified" approach to mapping, and you're on Android, try out StreetComplete: https://streetcomplete.app

Nice work! Thank you, and I hope you keep it up.

In case you're a local, or understand Binisaya or Cebuano, there's an informal group of mappers who keep in touch/learn from each other in this Signal channel: https://signal.group/#CjQKIPDlm3R1kw0QTo7u5fs8m5n9xguwIH1iJqskKLCxAXjVEhApLYZqUlGS32uDl5FqJK0z

Since the watch tower no longer serves that function, maybe it's more appropriate to tag it as "historic=watchtower" ?

It alright to use a point, like you did, or you may also draw an area to represent the feature.

Under sa unsa ka barangay karing chapel? Casile o Panubtuban?

Hello there! I just want to let you know that I've noticed your recent OSM edits, and would like to thank you for helping make a better map for your neighbourhood. Kudos!

If you have questions, or you're curious about what fellow mappers are doing, check out the local community channels: osm.org/wiki/PH (the Telegram channel is the most active, but feel free to check out the other platform you're already on)

Good job! Hi Angelous! Thank you for contributing to these edits in Tungawan.

I just want you to make note that we respect the private information of individuals, and we shouldn't add the names of residents to public features.

Please, do keep mapping! :) Let me know if I can help you answer questions you may have, or tools you're interested in, or maybe you can check out to the local OSM community channels: osm.org/wiki/PH

Your explanatory note is helpful, but you may also consider these tags: denomination=latin_catholic + diocese=personal_ordinariate_of_the_chair_of_saint_peter

Thank you for that! It is a small, but very informative museum. And the staff was friendly and helpful. :)

I used to collect stamps when I was a kid. ;)

Perhaps you were thinking of addr2:street, rather than addr:street2 here?

Hi A. I have a few comments for this changeset.

The building=school tag you added need not be added on the school grounds. You can trace and tag the 4 other individual schools building separately.

A concise alternative to an FB url is to simply tag it like contact:facebook = pnhs.depedbataan

This is awesome! Thank you for adding details and helping improve the map of your favorite neighborhood. Sharing local knowledge is the best kind of mapping. :)

If you're keen to keep in touch with local mappers, there are a number of community channels you can try: osm.org/wiki/PH

Glad to see you're still mapping, and I hope you're having fun.

Yes.

Good luck with the initiative!

Thankfully, there's Mapillary imagery available. I checked a few POIs in the area, and added fixmes. The names are descriptive, rather than the actual shop name -- but I didn't add them because I don't have the proper diacritics for the characters.

Yes, and the OpenStreetMap community is also interested in knowing whether the source and the license of your dataset is compatible for use in OSM.

It would be helpful if you can be more specific about your sources.

I'm certain that some folks from the community will find it interesting.

I agree with your observation that there's a large gap between urbanized areas and rural towns, and this really boils down to not having **local** mappers who can improve the map.

Anyway, could you elaborate about the source of your "jeepney" dataset?

Hello Vincent. How are you? Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

I'm curious about what you're trying to do here, and maybe we, in the local community can help you achieve what you're trying to do?

We have different channels listed here: osm.org/wiki/PH, in case you'd like to reach out, or have questions.

Ah, thanks for adding the wiki then. I definitely mapped these before you created the page. :D

I updated the wiki page to reflect the concepts of the original proposal page, because it was looking too much like it's just an "airport lounge" when that wasn't the intent.
