[discussions on the Philippines]

Hello,

I'm Paolo.  Just started playing around with OSM.  I try to update places that are familiar to me.

Having lived for a short while overseas, I am frustrated with the postal address situation here.  I think any progress to be made in improving street/postal addresses perhaps requires having good accurate street maps as a prerequisite.

I hope we can get our government agencies to contribute data and perhaps some advocacy towards this issue.

Regards,
Paolo
