As always, ianlopez mapped areas where most mappers don't :).  Nice
work.  Yes, I suggest we get ahead of others to map the railways (if
it still exist).  At least corruption cannot stall OSming :).

Interestingly, I encountered several roads locally known as "Daang
Bakal", my guess is, there used to be railways for areas like this.
