Hi Eugene*,*

Fantastic! We think that all three phases of Missing Maps would work in the
Philippines, though the exact arrangement would depend on the site(s).
There are a lot of people here in America who would like to contribute via
digitization and we want to be open to that. But the real impressive work
will always happen in the field and in the classroom afterwards when we
digitize. To the extent possible we want to do as much of our work out of
the Philippines as we can.

I'll be back in the Philippines later this month and would be delighted to
speak more with you all about potential opportunities. We're still lining
up funding and hence can't make any promises yet, but we're very hopeful.

Best,
Robert
