[talk-ph] Magalang disappearing when zooming out

[Ronny Ager-Wick - Develo Ltd.]

Thanks, Eugene.
I updated some tags so that Mabalacat are Magalang are more similar (and
at the same time completing more information of course), as there were a
few differences. I'll see in a few days if that change did any good. If
not, I'll file a bug.
Ronny.
