On Saturday, Google Maps was displaying a stretch of the Manila Bay shore as “Duterte Beach.”

Francisco explained that tags on Google Maps, especially searchable ones, are mostly crowdsourced from “local guides,” or Google users who are knowledgeable of local areas. Francisco, who himself has uploaded tags and edited existing ones, said that based on experience, Google does not individually check tags or pins on Google Maps.

“As far as I know Google doesn’t really check it themselves, they don’t have a team that approves it or anything, but if a local guide has enough upvotes which makes him credible enough, the tag appears,” Francisco said, explaining that Google used to have a “mapmaker feature” but that has since been discontinued.

Google Map Maker was a Google-owned map editing service. With Map Maker, user contributions used to increase map quality, and changes to Google Map Maker were intended to appear on Google Maps only after sufficient review by Google moderators, its website said.And Duterte Beach? As of Saturday afternoon, it had a mere 2.4 star rating, with some commenting that it is a “waste of money and resources.

But curious Filipinos and a handful of foreign vloggers flocked to Manila Bay on Sunday to see the artificial white sand overlaid on a stretch of the shore as part of the government’s efforts to “beautify” the polluted body of water. Photos showed crowds, while wearing face masks, were not following the 1-meter physical distancing rule, despite the presence of police and marshals.

Karamihan ng mga tao na nagpunta sa manila bay para makita ang white sand ay walang nagimbita sa kanila kusang loob sila na magpunta para masaksihan ang napakalaking pagbabago ng dating marumi mabaho puno ng basurang manila bay ngayon lang makikita na napakalinis na at hindi na mabaho pa ang amoy salamat sa gobyerno ni pangulong Duterte sa napakalaking pagbabago ng manila bay.

Duterte beach na ang tawag dyan? Ok lang naman kasi pareho silang dalawa ng beach na yan. Marumi.

So mag mental health check na tayo. Kamusta naman po? I hope ok naman po. Don’t forget physical distancing, proper hygiene and wear mask ha. May virus pa po na kumakalat.

PNP chief relieves Ermita Police Station commander for failure to control crowds at 'white sand' beachJTF COVID Shield Commander PLtGen. Guillermo Eleazar says what happened to Caramoan should serve as a lesson to others -- that they should plan and have the initiative to respond to similar situations. Whose idea was it to open this for a limited time? Baka dapat din yun ipenalize. DENR, Manila LGU, shame on you for putting people at risk for the sake of political grandstanding. Ang mga tao rin talaga either hindi takot sa covid or hindi alam na kahit mag mask e may risk pa rin silang mahawa. Samahan pa ng mga opisyal sa gobyerno na hindi rin kaya magpatupad ng social distancing dahil mga walang buto. Hindi naman talaga nakapag tataka. Pilipino e. 🤐 and for some government officials... that there's proper timing for certain projects. pwede naman silang mag-photo shoot ng ibang accomplishments for that event di ba?
