I tried a few search.
Davao - not found
Davao City - found
Malapascua - not found
Malapascua Island - found
San Miguel in Bulacan - found San Miguel in Bohol
No suggestion as I'm not sure how the service index name extensions
like island or city and duplicate entries. Otherwise, a very nice
update. Can't wait for the widget embed.
Keep it coming!

So I will get it re-written later this week so we can allow users to embed any kind of Filipino map on their website (widget control would include height, width, zoom level, and possibly the addition of a point).
