Why don’t the Philippines have numbers on their houses making it so complicated to locate places by just a number of barangay? Why won’t they change it?

The Philippines DOES have numbers on houses/ gates of houses unless that house was illegally constructed. The barangay rule is every house should have a number as long as they were issued an occupancy permit. I got mine after 3 months of getting the permit to live in the house. In Baguio City/ Benguet, you cannot get an occupancy permit without: Building permitFire department permitFDAS items installed in your house – Absolutely required even for residences.A secure structure – They can issue an occupancy permit with notes that your structure is not safe enough.This is why there is a crackdown on illegal settlers. They make the system complicated. Demolition on houses constructed on land without a title started.

In today's digital world, marking each house with certain numbers had been the thing of the past. With the rapid growth of the population, putting nos. In each house has become obsolete. Using this method of identification has its so many disadvantages : In the Philippine urbanized cities, it would be difficult to trace and identify the occupants of a house or condo units because they transfer to other places every now and thenIn the Philippine urbanized cities, several condo and house units are sold every day with new occupants.In the Philippines, tracing a house is now easier. With the use of satellite, government can accurately pinpoint a particular house or a condo unit in real time.
