OK, I will send a sample file for everyone to look at before adding them.

I'm thinking of including additional tag, for example:

name=Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park
boundary=national_park
NIPAS:category=natural park # this link for ref:
http://sunsite.nus.edu.sg/apcel/dbase/filipino/primary/phanip.html
source=PBCPP, 2002 # this is the actual source of publication

Is this OK, or any better tag for this?

We have way better boundary of Biak na Bato:
