[talk-ph] Tagging of barangays and sitios/puroks

[Erwin Olario]

In the context of the global conventions, quarters in the Philippines are
akin to downtown Poblacion areas.  It could be used to tag large
subdivisions with each phase as a neighbourhood.

I agree, the current convention is to tag barangays as place=village.
Puroks can be tagged as place=neighbourhoods, as with sitios (without
"Sitio", following the current barangay tagging convention) unless they are
remote , which would then be place=hamlet
