Barangay Salvacion in the Philippines

While traveling across the Visayas, I encountered barangay (villages) with the name same as my last name. Using R and map data from gadm.org I search and mapped other villages in the country named “Salvacion”.

  1. Hello R-NOLD, I'm happy to know that there are Filipinos who are an avid R user. Thanks for posting this.

    Just a question how did you plot the name of the barangays you've searched into that Philippines map? Did you gather also their Longitude and Latitude for their specific location?

    1. I extracted data on Lat & Long from the map itself

  2. Yes, indeed. It's probably time we set up a Manila R users group!

    (I see there's only one Salvacion barangay in Manila. I hope you're here!)
