[talk-ph] [OSM-talk] High res DigitalGlobe imagery open for tracing through Mapbox Satellite

[maning sambale]

Great news!
So its safe to say that all PH provinces are "partially" covered by
hires imagery. :)
A lot of areas in Mindanao and Samar Leyte are also covered now.

The intriguing part is why Boracay is still not covered.
All imagery providers (except Nokia HERE) doesn't have hires for this area.
