3. Result: | Name: BDO – Banco de Oro Category: Banks |

Examples:
In the Philippines, locality refers to city (for urban areas) and municipality (for rural area) while region mainly refers to Metro Manila and different provinces. Some localities have similar names with their regions. Typically, a locality is more prominent than regions. In this case, provinces in the Philippines are considered secondary intent with a starting rate of Good while localities are the primary intent (Navigational). Please take a look at GL 5.13 City vs Municipality for a similar case.
Examples:
1. Query: Iloilo
Result 1: Iloilo City, Iloilo
Result 2: Iloilo
Rating: Navigational
Rating: Good
Research shows that Iloilo City is part and capital of Iloilo province. City is always a primary intent while the province is a secondary intent
Result 1: Sorsogon City, Sorsogon Rating: Bad
Result 2: Sorsogon Rating: Navigational
The query includes a local Tagalog term ‘Probinsya’ which means ‘Province’. The primary intent is to look for the province of Sorsogon. No secondary intent here since the user explicitly stated their intent address type. Thus, the rating of Sorsogon City would be Bad.
Some businesses have more than one service types. In this case, when the user indicated a specific level of service which is not reflected in the result, give an initial rating of Good and demote depending on how well the result would satisfy the user intent, distance and presence of other similar businesses with the same brand. Kindly refer to GL 5.18 Relevance-Service Level Mismatch.

In the Philippines, most of the barangays have their own established names. It is unusual to use a barangay number in their barangays but there are some which use the numbering system. In this case, if the official website of the returned POI/business has a barangay number, rating should be Incorrect – SubLocality.
Examples:
Result: SM Mall of Asia, Seaside Blvd., Brgy 76, Pasay City
Official Website: SM Mall of Asia, Seaside Blvd., Pasay City
Rating: Incorrect – Sub Locality
Research shows that Pasay City has barangay numbers but not commonly used. Official website of the returned shopping mall has no barangay number.
Result: | SM City Mindpro, La Purisima St., Zamboanga City |
Official Website: | SM City Mindpro, La Purisima St. Brgy. Zone III Poblacion, Zamboanga City |
Rating: | Incorrect – Sub Locality Official website has a barangay zone number. It is acceptable to include a barangay number in result listing as long as it is included in the official address. Reference : https://www.smsupermalls.com/mall-directory/sm-city- mindpro/information/ |
