I found this through bloghopping through Vaes9. Lakbayan, a really cool web app that allows a user to briefly tick on the provinces that he’s visited and then produces this map of of visited places in our country. What’s cool is, it divides some large and touristy provinces like Palawan and, say, Oriental Mindoro, into sub-places so that when you say you’ve been to Puerto Princesa or Puerto Galera, you can’t claim to have been to the entire island of Palawan or Mindoro and thus won’t be credited for the whole province. Hehe.
It also uses different shades of blue to signify how much you’ve been to the province. The lightest shade means you’ve just passed through it. As you can see, I’ve passed through a lot of provinces, and stayed in a few here and there, thus a low lakbayan grade.
My Lakbayan grade is C!

akala ko mapa ng botohan. hehehe.
i’ve only visited batangas, cavite, subic, cebu (at dumaan ng masbate) and baguio. so nadaanan ko na rin ang tarlac, pampanga, at bataan. not to mention corregidor.
ang konti pa lang pala. T_T

Sinubukan kong ipost yung result ko… hindi tingngap… sigh…
sa friendster ko na lang ilalagay.
Thanks for trying it out. Hmmm, I think I have to tweak the grading algorithm. You should have a higher grade than me (I’m ‘D’) since you’ve been to Palawan and Mindanao.
Sir Vaes The Great has a winner in his hands once again! Pero ang toxic sagutan a! hehe
Benj, medyo toxic nga. Pero it’s worth it naman ‘di ba? You get a purty blue map in return.
Buti ka pa, halos nalibot mo na ang Filipinas.
dapat nga yata i-tweak pa grading nyan
tried already this one and I got a C+ but I have yet to post the result in my blog. Draft only for now
i used to have a map of pinas with pushpins marking the places i’ve been to. this is the internet version of that
Hey, like I said, I’ve tweaked the grading system. I think the grades are more expected now. You’re now a C! Another really nice new feature is that now there’s a link to let you update the map so that you can keep track of your travels. Enjoy!
Hi Eugene. Thank you for the update!
