Mapping my neighborhood was quite easy, most of it was residential houses and businesses along the main road. But knowing each details was different. I have noticed that my neighborhood’s historic architecture was preserved in some houses like the Batungbacal ancestral house and establishments. Since Santa Ana was the only district in Manila which was spared from the bombing of World War 2. And most of the buildings were preserved, maintained and even business establishments adapt the architecture of the neighborhood so that it would blend. I have learned that this feature in my neighborhood is rich with culture that is preserved well in time and blessed that we still have it. And with observation you can see through the details of what may be seems to be new.

That sounds interesting! Do try using Mapillary or OpenStreetCam so we can have an idea about the neighborhood architecture you’re trying to describe.
Cheers,
