The topic of which labels get priority or not has been discussed often at the main talk mailing list. As far as I know, there's no agreed upon solution yet for tagging for "importance" especially for settlements.<br>
<br>On the other hand, Mapnik renders both labels fine so it must be a rendering issue and there shouldn't be any tweaking of the tags just to force those labels to appear. You might want to file a trac bug for this; T@H/Osmarender shouldn't be too choosy with name clashes; it clashes street names anyway at higher zoom levels.<br>

I'm just a bit puzzled,<br>
how come, when Magalang and Arayat appears fine here:<br>
<a href="http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=15.153&lon=120.678&zoom=11&layers=0B00FTF" target="_blank">http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=15.153&lon=120.678&zoom=11&layers=0B00FTF</a><br>
If you zoom out, both Magalang and Arayat disappears, despite there is<br>
more than enough space for the names on the map. However<br>
I even tried moving the name Magalang a bit further out to make sure it<br>
does not crash with Mabalacat or Clark Special Economic Zone. I don't<br>
understand why Mexico and Mabalacat stays while Magalang and Arayat does<br>
not? Funnily, using Mapnik instead of Osmarender yields completely<br>
different results.<br>
<br>
How does Osmarender (and Mapnik for that matter) calculate which names<br>
to show and which to hide? I can't find any logic in this, and am at a<br>
loss trying to rectify it.<br>
Secondly, is there anything I can do to tell the rendering engine which<br>
names have the same importance (or level)?<br>
