[talk-ph] Hi Guys and Gals, Open Street Map.

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi Michael,

I think the place points for the towns and cities were imported from the
GeoNet Name Server. See this wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Philippines/Data_import#Geonet_Name_Server

And it seems there are indeed errors. One town in the province of Compostela
Valley is placed out in the Philippine Sea!
