[talk-ph] tagging distinctly Philippine POIs

The previous thread drove me to post this.

I have always been wondering how we tag features that are distinctly
Filipino.  Often I encounter a feature that is not the Map Feature
like vulcanizing.

some examples:
tricycle terminal
talipapa
pasalubong/souvenir shops
small stores (sari-sari)
MMDA pink urinals :)

In urban areas it might clutter the map, but in rural areas, some of
these features maybe very important.  For example when I did some bike
mapping around Panglao there is only one vulcanizing shop in the
island, fortunately, I was right in front of it when my pedal
literally bolted out!  Of course this is somewhat related to the
previous discussion on too much POI detail.

Can we come up a list of these features and a possible tag?  Any ideas?
