Student. Southie. It should be fairly obvious where I live, study and shop based on my edit history. 😏

### Notice a format with my changeset descriptions?

I always try to organize how my changesets are labeled. My format, following what seems to be OpenStreetMap Philippines community convention, usually goes like:

  • [City + City, PROVINCE; City, PROVINCE] Add something, remove something (in Quarter); add something (in Quarter)

The “PROVINCE” pseudo-parameter there goes by a three-letter code assigned by the International Organization for Standardization, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:PH, which is fairly straightforward for provinces with unique names (e.g. “CAV” for Cavite, “BUL” for Bulacan)… not so for those divided for politics reasons (who would’ve known “DVO” is Davao Occidental while “DAO” is Oriental?).

In Metropolitan Manila, the three-letter code is “NCR”. In the occasion I’m editing huge chunks of the country, I use the two-letter region numbers.
