<br>1. Block number address system is used in Philippine?<br>According to OSM wiki page, there is no definition to block_number in Philippine.<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Philippines/Addressing" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Philippines/Addressing</a><br>
<br>1-1.<br>If block_number system is used, I would like to confirm they are same or not to Japanese ones.<br>Please tell me some (maybe out of OSM wiki) documentation.<br>If they are the same concept, "_" ambiguous should be integrated :)<br>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I would like to confirm what Ervin said: Yes, block addressing is also used in the Philippines. But note that Philippine block addressing scheme is always written as follows: "Block <number> Lot <number>". This is often abbreviated to "B<number> L<number>". The lot (aka parcel) number is generally equivalent to the building number used in Japanese addresses but the difference is that the lot numbers are assigned consecutively to each lot.<br>
<br>Block addressing is usually intended to be a temporary address scheme while new streets are not yet named AND lots are not yet given "proper" numbers. But even if temporary, this scheme is often used for a long period.<br>
<br>For example, my childhood house had the following address, "Block 7 Lot 16, E. Pascual Street", for more than 15 years before we were assigned a number: "46 E. Pascual Street".<br><br></div></div>
