Mapping Our Neighbourhood

Posted by Justine Bautista on 26 August 2018 in English.

Our instructor told us to map our neighbourhood using Field Paper. As I roaming and mapping around our neighbourhood, there’s a lot of name of streets and also establishments that I’ve discovered just like new pharmacies, sari-sari stores and a water refilling stations. But there’s one thing I’ve discovered that caught my attention because it’s represent the culture in our barangay and that is an itik store. Our barangay is known for selling and raising ducks or itik alongside with municipality of Pateros. Actually, most of the products that sell in Pateros are come from our barangay because it is beside of Ilog Pasig. As time goes by, our duck raising industry is decreasing due to the polluted Ilog Pasig. However these days, there’s one store near our Barangay that selling and raising ducks. But because of mapping, I am glad that I’ve found a newly itik store that shows how our barangay can be able to continue our culture.

Oh, wow! I didn’t even think we still have those things in Metro Manila. So, have you added them on the map? If so, what was the tag you used?

Thank you for posting your experience, and sharing what you’ve discovered. I’m looking forward to seeing them on OSM soon.

Cheers,
