I noticed there are 922 populated places which lack proper region (ADM1) and province (ADM2) associations in the Philippines.

I checked some names against the NGA Dataset and found that they do have ADM1 association equivalent to Geonames ADM2 province.

For example:

NGA -2433969: Los Angeles
ADM1: Butuan RPA8 / 09° 00' 45" N 125° 36' 29" E

Geonames 1705545: Los Angeles
ADM1: 00 / 9.0125000 125.6080600

Geonames 1722183:
Butuan City (e.g Province) ADM1: 13 (Caraga) / ADM2: A8

Therefore:

Geonames 1705545 should be ADM1: 13 / ADM2: A8

Please fix such missing associations.

Thanks,

-Itai
