The community has come up with several agreements on how to map specific places and editors in the Philippines are expected to adhere to these standards.
This is not meant to be comprehensive and it may change over time. It is therefore important to stay in touch with the community so as to keep abreast of these changes. If you are intent on editing places, please keep these tables on hand at all times.
