It's great to see you're still mapping, and adding a lot of details in Bacolod. Thanks!

Sorry about the large bbox. Made a correction in another area, while doing another from somewhere else.

By the way, your trace was indeed uploaded: @a_joemar/traces/1882004

GPX tracks don't automatically turn into a way. Instead, it's used to trace a way/line.

Using the iD editor, it's a simple drag and drop operation. Details here: http://learnosm.org/en/editing/id-editor/#configuring-the-background-layer

1. Many people keep in touch by the mailing list: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph or thru FB: http://fb.com/OSMPH. You can use Filipino or English in those channels. Questions here may not get immediate attention.

2. One thing to remember with OSM is "map what's on the ground". If the old POIs are no longer applicable you can delete them or use the "disused" tag. See more about this tag here: disused=* . There is no need to ask for permission, OSM trust users to know what they're doing ;) If in doubt, check the Wiki pages, or ask the question in the community channels.

If an area is in construction, you mark it as:
landuse=construction.

Another method I found helpful when starting with OSM is to check out the edits (tagsm in particular) made by other people.

I updated the POI to demonstrate what you can do. I used the original node (point) you made to create you can trace a closed way (polygon) over the outline of the building, and add additional details where possible.

Normally, nodes are used to indicate the approximate location of a POI. If satellite imagery is available, and shows the structure, it is recommended to trace them instead.

Keep it up!

For a building with a BPO, the following tags could be applied:

building=commercial
name=*
addr:city=*
addr:province=*
addr:street=*
addr:barangay=*

For a building with multiple tenants operating as different companies, each node may have
name=*
office=company

does CAP refer to College Assurance Plan?

If so, the node could be appropriately tagged as:
office=insurance

See here:
office=*

Good work!. Thanks for adding new features to OpenStreetMap.

I fixed some of the features you added. For example, when adding fish ponds, you don't need to put "fishpond" as a name. You can use the following tags instead:
landuse=pond
natural=water
water=pond
livestock=fish

With regard to rice fields, you may use the following tags:
crop=rice
landuse=farmland
farm=flooded_crops

And you don't have to put "ricefield" as a name either.

More descriptive comments to changesets would be nice, too.
