[talk-ph] Governor Pineda (Pampanga) willing to support OSM for mapping other municipalities in the province

> Kudos on your political manoeuvring, Maning.
Credits goes to our local partners in Pampanga.  While they are busy
updating their own LGUs in OSM,
they are aware that to be more effective and to get a complete picture
of the hazard and exposure situation, they
need to look beyond administrative boundaries and view the situation
from the natural boundaries like the Pampanga watershed.
This is why, they are slowly working towards a collective alliance to
update the data of the neighboring towns/municipalities.

Great!  Will surely ask your help for Magalang.

Here's the local news of the event yesterday:

Although, I'm a little bit uncomfortable with "Hulog ng langit" remark
by one of the Board Member.
