OpenStreetMap
So today the 16th day of September 2018, I mapped the Cagayan and Batanes areas of Philippines. I contributed in mapping more than 80 buildings to support the local mappers and also to celebrate my friend’s birthday lol. Though I’m still mapping, lemme see how many more buildings I can help in mapping in the next few hours. Currently mapping this area

Daghang salamat, bay.
That’s “Thank you”, friend, in Visayan - one of the major languages of the Philippines.
“Bay” itself has an interesting etymology. It’s said to be a contraction of the phrase “Akong abay” (my companion), which has now evolved in daily use as as informal synonym for “higala” (friend).
Cheers,
