[talk-ph] How to tag Subdivisions - Villages ?

[Totor]

Thanks for the replies.

place=hamlet might be interesting for bigger "villages". 
I'll have a look at it later, it might be better than place=suburb.

Regarding the landuse=residential examples :
Corinthian Gardens -> uses place=village that I would 
like to reserve for barangays (or is this actually a barangay?)
Green Meadows and Valle Verde -> show nicely indeed, 
with no place tag

I think I'll switch to the landuse=residential. 
I'll check if it works for point too, or only for areas 
(that I would have to guess...)
