Oh, where do I start?
It was around October when I had recently imported the barangay boundaries of my hometown, Cauayan City. I had just asked the GIS team at the local Planning and Development Office to adjust the boundaries again, as many issues were identified in the dataset. A while later, I had an idea to try to help the GIS team adjust the boundaries, because I figured, “Why not?” and they’re probably doing a lot of work already, given so many developments in the area.

A little back and forth, but then they stopped responding. I mean, it is basically a 50/50 chance that they respond or not. A little later, I dove into further research and stuff, and I thought of asking an institution to collaborate with me on making a dataset for the PDO to use and merge with theirs, so it can be as accurate as possible (I like things accurate).
