Credits goes to our local partners in Pampanga. While they are busy<br>
updating their own LGUs in OSM,<br>
they are aware that to be more effective and to get a complete picture<br>
of the hazard and exposure situation, they<br>
need to look beyond administrative boundaries and view the situation<br>
from the natural boundaries like the Pampanga watershed.<br>
This is why, they are slowly working towards a collective alliance to<br>
update the data of the neighboring towns/municipalities.<br>

Although, I'm a little bit uncomfortable with "Hulog ng langit" remark<br>
by one of the Board Member.<br>
