Today is November 1 (All Saints' Day) and, just like the millions of Catholic Filipinos all over the country, my family went to the cemetery to pay our respect to our dearly departed loved ones (and have a mini-family reunion while we're at it). In this case, it's my paternal grandfather at the Garden of Memories Memorial Park in Taguig City.

And just like any good OSMer, I noted down as many details as I can of the memorial park and the surrounding areas. After I got back home and opened up OSM, I noticed that somebody has outlined the basic shape of the memorial park based on the Yahoo! imagery. Of course, looking at the satellite imagery is just an aid and no substitute for real on-the-ground surveying, so I went ahead and corrected the landuse region to the best of my recollections and added the internal roads and as many of the footpaths as I can remember (and see from the Yahoo! imagery).

I also went ahead and mapped some of the surrounding areas, including the finished main road we took to get to the park (which was still unfinished in Yahoo!'s imagery).
