I intend to create five changesets for this edit (one for Visayas and Palawan, one for Mindanao, one for Metro Manila, two for Luzon). I also intend to add, change (is_in:*=* to addr:*=*) and remove some tags in the process (cmt=*, desc=*, designation=*, sym=* among others)</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span></span>Planned edit date: October 27, 2013</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 18.6667px; font-family:
