Human-based genetic algorithm

In evolutionary computation, a human-based genetic algorithm (HBGA) is a genetic algorithm that allows humans to contribute solution suggestions to the evolutionary process. For this purpose, a HBGA has human interfaces for initialization, mutation, and recombinant crossover. As well, it may have interfaces for selective evaluation. In short, a HBGA outsources the operations of a typical genetic algorithm to humans.

Evolutionary genetic systems and human agency
Among evolutionary genetic systems, HBGA is the computer-based analogue of genetic engineering (Allan, 2005). This table compares systems on lines of human agency:

One obvious pattern in the table is the division between organic (top) and computer systems (bottom). Another is the vertical symmetry between autonomous systems (top and bottom) and human-interactive systems (middle). Looking to the right, the selector is the agent that decides fitness in the system. It determines which variations will reproduce and contribute to the next generation. In natural populations, and in genetic algorithms, these decisions are automatic; whereas in typical HBGA systems, they are made by people. The innovator is the agent of genetic change. The innovator mutates and recombines the genetic material, to produce the variations on which the selector operates. In most organic and computer-based systems (top and bottom), innovation is automatic, operating without human intervention. In HBGA, the innovators are people. HBGA is roughly similar to genetic engineering. In both systems, the innovators and selectors are people. The main difference lies in the genetic material they work with: electronic data vs. polynucleotide sequences.

Differences from a plain genetic algorithm

 * All four genetic operators (initialization, mutation, crossover, and selection) can be delegated to humans using appropriate interfaces (Kosorukoff, 2001).
 * Initialization is treated as an operator, rather than a phase of the algorithm. This allows a HBGA to start with an empty population. Initialization, mutation, and crossover operators form the group of innovation operators.
 * Choice of genetic operator may be delegated to humans as well, so they are not forced to perform a particular operation at any given moment.

Functional features

 * HBGA is a method of collaboration and knowledge exchange. It merges competence of its human users creating a kind of symbiotic human-machine intelligence (see also distributed artificial intelligence).
 * Human innovation is facilitated by sampling solutions from population, associating and presenting them in different combinations to a user (see creativity techniques).
 * HBGA facilitates consensus and decision making by integrating individual preferences of its users.
 * HBGA makes use of a cumulative learning idea while solving a set of problems concurrently. This allows to achieve synergy because solutions can be generalized and reused among several problems. This also facilitates identification of new problems of interest and fair-share resource allocation among problems of different importance.
 * The choice of genetic representation, a common problem of genetic algorithms, is greatly simplified in HBGA, since the algorithm need not be aware of the structure of each solution. In particular, HBGA allows natural language to be a valid representation.
 * Storing and sampling population usually remains an algorithmic function.
 * A HBGA is usually a multi-agent system, delegating genetic operations to multiple agents (humans).

Applications

 * Evolutionary knowledge management, integration of knowledge from different sources.
 * Social organization, collective decision-making, and e-governance.
 * Traditional areas of application of interactive genetic algorithms: computer art, user-centered design, etc.
 * Collaborative problem solving using natural language as a representation.
 * Education and Academic benefits from Real Time Simulation with Synthetic Curriculum Modeling using Dynamic Point Cloud environments.

The HBGA methodology was derived in 1999-2000 from analysis of the Free Knowledge Exchange project that was launched in the summer of 1998, in Russia (Kosorukoff, 1999). Human innovation and evaluation were used in support of collaborative problem solving. Users were also free to choose the next genetic operation to perform. Currently, several other projects implement the same model, the most popular being Yahoo! Answers, launched in December 2005.

Recent research suggests that human-based innovation operators are advantageous not only where it is hard to design an efficient computational mutation and/or crossover (e.g. when evolving solutions in natural language), but also in the case where good computational innovation operators are readily available, e.g. when evolving an abstract picture or colors (Cheng and Kosorukoff, 2004). In the latter case, human and computational innovation can complement each other, producing cooperative results and improving general user experience by ensuring that spontaneous creativity of users will not be lost.

Furthermore, human-based genetic algorithms prove to be a successful measure to counteract fatigue effects introduced by interactive genetic algorithms.

Cainta

Cainta, officially the Municipality of Cainta (Bayan ng Cainta, ), is a 1st class urban municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 376,933 people.

It is one of the oldest municipalities in Luzon (founded on August 15, 1571) and has a land area of 4299 ha.

Cainta serves as the secondary gateway to the rest of Rizal province from Metro Manila. With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila, Cainta is now part of Manila's conurbation, which reaches Cardona in its easternmost part and is therefore one of the most urbanized towns.

As the country's 3rd most populous municipality after Taytay, Rizal and Rodriguez, Rizal, efforts are underway to convert it into a city. Its total assets amounting to ₱3,988,392,142.17 (as per 2017 Commission on Audit summary) makes it the richest municipality in the country in terms of income. However, Cainta faces different challenges especially with its boundary disputes with Pasig (Greenpark Village, Karangalan Village, St. Joseph Subdivision, Villarica Subdivision, Riverside and Midtown Village), Taytay, (Greenland and eastern part of Cainta) and Antipolo (Valley Golf and Country Club and Valley View), thus hindering cityhood efforts.

Etymology
One legend has it that there was an old woman called "Jacinta" who was well known not only in her own native town but also in the neighboring towns. In her youth, she was very popular because of her great beauty, kindness, and wealth. Although she was a member of a very rich clan, she showed generosity of heart to the poor. Hence, she became very much loved and respected. Jacinta grew to be an old maid because after her sweetheart got sick and died, she never fell in love with anyone else. When her parents died and she was left alone in the house, she continued her charity work. She gave alms to the long line of beggars who came to her, and housed and took care of the orphans and children in the streets.

In her old age, she was still very popular and was fondly called "Ka Inta" ("Ka" referring to a term of respect for the elderly, as well as a term for the feeling of comradery or "kapwa" feeling for someone).

One Christmas Day, however, when the old and the young called on her to give their greetings, she was not by the window to welcome them. People wondered at her absence and shouted her name to call her attention but no one came to answer. Concerned, they went up the house and discovered the dead body of "Ka Inta" lying on the floor. Beside her were the piles of Christmas gifts she was preparing to give to her well-wishers that day. People far and wide grieved over her death. In memory of her goodness and her generosity, her native town was named after her and was called "Cainta".

However, Cainta was already named Cainta when the Spanish first arrived in the 1520s, so the Spanish name "Jacinta" is unlikely to be the origin of Cainta's name.

The Battle of Cainta
After the death of Rajah Matanda, Adelantado Miguel de Legaspi received word that two ships, San Juan and Espiritu Santo, had just arrived in Panay Island in the central Philippines from Mexico. One ship was under the command of Don Diego de Legaspi, his nephew, and the other of Juan Chacon. The two ships were in such disrepair when they arrived in Panay that one of them was not allowed to return to Mexico. Legaspi ordered that it be docked on the river of Manila. The Maestro de Campo was sent to Panay to oversee its transfer to Manila, with Juan de la Torre as captain.

To help spread the faith, several Augustinian friars were commissioned by Spain and were among the ship's passengers. One of them was Father Alonso de Alvarado, who had been in the armada of Villalobos. Another was Father Agustin de Albuquerque, who became the first parish priest of Taal town, south of Manila. Some of the missionaries were sent to Cebu province in the central Philippines to accompany Father Martin de Rada the Prior. Four stayed to work in Pampanga province and the environs north and south of Manila, which included the then-village of Cainta.

Meanwhile, Legaspi was determined to subjugate the people of Cainta and Taytay, a neighboring town. He sent his nephew Juan de Salcedo with a galleon (a small ship propelled by oars and sails) and 16 small boats accompanied by a hundred Spanish soldiers and many Visayas natives allied with them. Salcedo sailed on August 15, 1571, arriving in Cainta on the 20th. He sought peace from the villagers but the village chief, Gat-Maitan, responded arrogantly, told him the people of Cainta, unlike those of Manila, were not cowards, and would defend their village to the death. Confident in the defenses offered by their fort and the security of the site, they were joined by people from Taytay.

These two villages are on a plain on the shores of a river that flows from La Laguna and before arriving there divides in two large arms, both with abundant water. On its banks are found the two villages, half a league from each other, with the river passing through both before finally becoming one in a part of the terrain encircled by thick bamboo groves. These bamboos were tied together with liana, turning them into a thick wall where the people had constructed two ramparts with their moats full of water. By the river, they had built strong stone bulwarks with wooden towers and good artillery (culverins or lantakas), guarded by a large number of warriors armed with arrows, swords and other projectile-type arms.

Deciding to attack, Salcedo first sent Second Lieutenant Antonio de Carvajal with some escorts to reconnoiter the town and determine the weakest point where they could enter. Carvajal, wounded by an arrow in his arm, returned with the information that the weakest spot, the least fortified and with the easiest access was the other part of an arroyo on the side of La Laguna where many boats could be seen entering the river.

Salcedo ordered installed in the prow of the galley a stone-throwing mortar. He and his men then spent the night on shore, while 20 soldiers and numerous allies from Manila remained with Carvajal on the galley with orders that when they heard firing, they should proceed with the attack on the stone bulwarks and the houses in the town, while Salcedo and his men tried to enter through the wall by the arroyo. When they heard the sound of the bugle, the signal that they had taken the town, they were to stop firing.

After giving these instructions, Salcedo began his march and turned toward the river where the attack was to take place. He arrived in the arroyo and found it defended by a group of Cainta warriors who started to fire arrows and hurl lances.

Taken by surprise, the soldiers without waiting for Salcedo's order attacked the rampart and were overwhelmed by a rain of arrows. Finding such tenacious resistance, they began to retreat and flee in disarray.

Salcedo berated his men harshly for having attacked without his orders. Observing that in the other part of the arroyo the rampart was lower, he ordered a skiff brought there and after beaching it, he ordered some of his soldiers to use it as passage to the other side and take a more elevated point from where they could fire at the defenders of the town.

With the defenders retreating, Salcedo and his men were able to approach the wall and breach it. Gat-Maitan with his Cainta men came to close the breach, forcing Saavedra to back off.

In the meantime, the cannons of the galley destroyed the stone bulwarks and the houses in the town in a manner the people had not seen before. The shouts of the 600 Visayans allied with the Spanish made the natives believe that the Spaniards were already inside the poblacion [town proper]. Because of this, defenders of the breach abandoned it and retreated to the center of the town.

Salcedo observed this from a distance and ordered the breach attacked again. This time, the Spaniards encountered little resistance. Led by Salcedo and with Saavedra carrying the Spanish banner, they succeeded in entering the town. Together with their soldiers, they advanced rapidly and shortly scaled the wall where a bloody battle was fought.

The Cainta men, encouraged by their chief Gat-Maitan, preferred to die rather than surrender. Having taken over the stone walls, the Spaniards climbed the towers and hoisted the Spanish banner. At the blare of the bugle, the cannons stopped firing from the galley.

Spanish rule
Founded on November 30, 1571, Cainta was a fiercely independent village that fought valiantly against the Spaniards but was later defeated and became a visita (annex) of Taytay in 1571 under the Jesuits. Changes in ecclesiastical administration made Cainta a part of Pasig under the Augustinians but it was deeded back to the Jesuits by the King of Spain in 1696. Cainta became a separate township in 1760.

Conversion to Catholicism
The chief religion is Roman Catholicism. When the Spaniards came they celebrated the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle and a mass was held in a chapel made of nipa palm branches and wood. Many people came to attend and consequently were baptized into the faith.

The Church of Cainta was completed in 1715. It was gutted during World War II. Only the outer walls and the facade remained which was repaired with a coat of Portland cement. In 1727, an image depicting Our Lady of Light was brought to Cainta from Sicily, Italy, and was among the structures destroyed by Japanese and the joint American and Filipino bombs. Except for the outer walls, now greatly renovated, hardly anything remains of the old church. Extensive damage was also caused by recurrent earthquakes and typhoons that plagued the Philippines. The natives helped in its restoration and the new building was completed on February 25, 1968, and blessed by Manila Cardinal Archbishop Rufino Jiao Santos.

Cainta became an independent town in 1760. During the brief British occupation of Luzon (1762–1763), part of its British India troops known as Sepoys lived and intermarried with the natives in one of the town's barrios. The Indian left a culinary legacy in the spicy and highly seasoned dishes that are now part of mainstream Cainta cuisine. Cainta became part of Tondo (starting 1763) but separated in 1883 and incorporated with the district of Morong.

March 16, 1899
Exequiel Ampil was assigned by Emilio Aguinaldo to liberate Cainta.

Maj. William P. Rogers, CO of the 3rd Battalion, 20th US Infantry Regiment, came upon the Filipinos in Cainta, about 1,000 strong, and forced them to retreat. He burned the town. Two Americans were killed and 14 wounded, while the Filipinos suffered about 100 killed and wounded.

Upon the approach of the Americans, Exequiel Ampil y Dela Cruz, the Presidente Municipal of Cainta and a former Agente Especial of the Katipunan who had become a pronounced Americanista, strongly advised the Filipino soldiers to surrender. Instead, they shot him. Although wounded, Ampil managed to escape.

On March 3, 1902, major American newspapers, including the New York Times reported: “…Felizardo, at the head of twenty-five men armed with rifles, entered the town of Cainta and captured the Presidente of Cainta, Señor Ampil, and a majority of the police of the town. Señor Ampil has long been known as an enthusiastic American sympathizer, and it is feared that he may be killed by the enraged ladrones (thieves & land grabbers). A strong force of constabulary has been sent to try to effect his release.” [Timoteo Pasay was the actual leader of the guerilla band that kidnapped Ampil on Feb 28, 1902].

On March 4, 1902, near the hills of Morong town, Ampil found an opportunity to escape. A detachment of constabulary was taken from the garrison at Pasig and stationed at Cainta for his protection, he survived the war. And upon retiring from his military and political career, Don Exequiel Ampil together with his wife Doña Priscila Monzon, applied and managed their vast estate from Tramo (Rosario, Pasig) to Cainta River (San Jose, Cainta) up to the Valley Golf Club (Mayamot, Antipolo) down to Ortigas Extension (San Isidro, Taytay). The lots were the old and the new Municipal Halls stands, were also part of his estate.

Their son Dr. Jesus Ampil also became a Mayor (grandfather of the Ampil Brothers); whose siblings where Lumen, Atty. Vicente (of Pasay), Rosario & Jose.

Inclusion in Rizal province
On October 12, 1903, under the American rule, Cainta and Angono were consolidated with Taytay as one government entity. On January 1, 1914, it once again became an independent municipality and remained so to this day.

World War II
In 1942, Japanese Occupation troops entered Cainta. In 1942 to 1944, local guerrilla groups of the Hunters ROTC was the four-year main invasions in Cainta against the Japanese, when the guerrillas were retreating by the Japanese before the liberation. In 1945, local Filipino troops of the 4th, 42nd, 45th, 46th, 47th and 53rd Infantry Division of the Philippine Army and 4th Constabulary Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary started the liberation and captured Cainta and helped the guerrilla resistance fighters of the Hunters ROTC Guerrillas to fight against the Japanese and ended World War II.

Liberation of Cainta
During World War II under the Allied Liberation, the some of all stronghold of local Filipino soldiers of the Philippine Commonwealth Army 4th, 42nd, 45th, 46th, 47th and 53rd Infantry Division and the Philippine Constabulary 4th Constabulary Regiment was sending the local military operations and liberated in all municipal town of Cainta and aided the local guerrilla groups of the Hunters ROTC Guerrillas against the Japanese Imperial armed forces and begins the Liberation of Cainta on 1945 and arrival by the American liberation forces enters the town.

The General Headquarters, Camp Bases and Garrisons of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces in Cainta and inside of all Japanese soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army was invaded the battles and captured of all the local Filipino soldiers of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and Philippine Constabulary and the local guerrillas of the Hunters ROTC Guerrillas after the fighting. After the war, the local casualties was over 3,810 Filipino troops of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and Philippine Constabulary killed in action and 12,400 wounded in action, the local guerrillas of the Hunters ROTC was over 200 killed in action and 700 wounded in action and over 15,000 Japanese troops of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces was killed in action, 36,000 wounded in action and over 3,400 captured in action.

Post-war
On May 9, 1992, a fire broke out at the town's municipal hall two days before the 1992 local elections. The Rizal Provincial Police Command concluded that the fire was accidental, having been caused by a negligent janitor, although the PNP Criminal Investigation Service Command (CISC) refuted this, citing eyewitness accounts to the contrary.

Conversion to cityhood
Cainta has qualified for cityhood, due to its high population and high income. However, boundary disputes with neighboring cities and municipalities prevents the municipality from being a city. There was an attempt to convert Cainta into a city in 2003.

In late 2003, Mayor Nicanor Felix with the rest of its Sangguniang Bayan members, unanimously approved a resolution for Cainta's cityhood bid. That same year, on its annual fiesta, the municipality had its theme "Cainta: Lungsod 2004", promoting its bid for cityhood.

But the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Rizal denied the resolution by the Sangguniang Bayan, stating that "it must resolve first its boundary disputes with Pasig, Antipolo and Taytay".

However, in January 2010, Rizal Governor Casimiro "Jun" Ynares III pushed the cityhood of Cainta and Taytay, due to the overabundance of jobs, amenities, and its people. In turn, Representative Joel Duavit of Rizal's 1st district filed and passed a bill effectively creating a district composed of Cainta and Taytay. The Bill is now up at the committee level in the Senate.

The idea of converting Cainta into a city and constituting into a lone legislative district was again reignited and proposed for the second time in 2018 after its failure in 2004.

Geography
Cainta is bounded on the north by Marikina and Antipolo, on the west by Pasig, and on the east and south by Taytay. It lies in the Marikina Valley, is 10% rolling hills and 90% residential-industrial. It has the province's highest number of rivers and streams. Historians claim that Cainta's old geographical boundaries encompassed the mountain slopes of Montalban.

Cainta is 17 km from Manila and 9 km from Antipolo.

Barangays
Cainta is politically subdivided into seven barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.

 * San Andres (Poblacion)
 * San Isidro
 * San Juan
 * San Roque
 * Santa Rosa
 * Santo Domingo
 * Santo Niño

In the mid-1990s, Cainta submitted a petition to the Rizal provincial government to consider a proposal for 18 additional barangays, to make a total of 25 barangays. The proposal is still pending.

Demographics
In the 2020 census, the population of Cainta, was 376,933 people, with a density of undefined PD/km2.

In the 2007 census, it had a population of 304,478. Its population consists of 70% Roman Catholic Christians, 15% Non-Catholic Christians (including Baptists, Evangelicals, Iglesia ni Cristo, Members Church of God International, Aglipayan, Jesus is Lord, and others), 10% Muslims, 3% Chinese Buddhists, and 2% Sikhs. The people of Cainta are mostly Tagalog-speaking Filipinos.

A considerable number of the population are descended from Indian soldiers who mutinied against the British Army when the British briefly occupied the Philippines in 1762 to 1763. These Indian soldiers called Sepoy were Tamil people from Chennai and settled in town and intermarried with native women. The Sepoy ancestry of Cainta is still very visible to this day, particularly in Barrio Dayap near Barangay Sto. Niño.

Economy
Cainta is a highly urbanized town, which has an abundant mix of commercial, industrial, and real estate businesses. As of 2018's Commission on Audit report, the town is the richest municipality in the country in terms of total assets. Cainta continues to attract businesses due to its proximity to Manila and the town's burgeoning population.

Native delicacies
Cainta is known for its native delicacies, a tradition inherited from nearby Antipolo, which is largely a cottage industry. Dating back to the 15th century, it became the town's principal source of income for more than four centuries. Suman (rice cake wrapped in banana leaf), latik (boiled down coconut milk used for glazing), coconut jam and the famous bibingka, are but a few of the sweet delights that lure many visitors to this town.

During the 20th century, Cainta dazzled the whole country when it baked the biggest rice cake ever and the town became known as the "Bibingka Capital of the Philippines". Bibingka is believed to have been adapted from the Indian cuisine, an influence from its Sepoy population. It comes from the Indian word bebinca also known as bibik, a dessert made of flour, coconut milk, and egg. The Philippine version is made of rice flour, coconut milk, and salted duck eggs. Butter and sugar are used for glazing after cooking and before serving.

Elected officials
The following are the elected officials during the 2022 elections, serving a term that will expire in 2025:

 * Our Lady of Light Parish Church - one of the oldest Catholic churces in the province.

 * Sierra Valley Gardens - a Mixed-use development site built by Robinsons Land Corporation opened in 2020. The site was the former manufacturing plant of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation which operates from 1963 until 2014, then later the MMPC officially opened their new manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, Laguna on January 30, 2015.
 * Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall - a large shopping mall named and owned by Sta. Lucia Realty & Development, and is one of the largest shopping to the east of Metro Manila, and one of the first malls in Rizal.

Culture
During Cainta's modernization period, traditions became more glamorous, most especially during the Lenten season. The most noteworthy rituals are the Cenakulo (a stage play of the passion and death of Christ) and the Ang Pagpapapako or Penetencia (a re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ).

The Cenakulo
The Senakulo in Cainta dates back to 1904. It originated from Barrio Dayap (the entire area now includes Barangays Santa Rosa, Sto Niño and Santo Domingo). At that time, the population consisted of a small group of residents who were mostly related to each other. Since most of the people believed that calamities were brought in by evil spirits, they decided to put up a cross on a vacant lot to counter them. The barrio people paid homage to the cross by lighting it every night. One memorable incident happened during the Lenten season when a strange fragrance supposedly emanated from the cross. The news spread out not only in the barrio but also in the entire town of Cainta.

Believing in the mystery of the cross, many people in Barrio Dayap and the whole town of Cainta have since then vowed to read the Pasyon (Seven Last Words of Christ) every Lenten season. This has been enriched by an actual portrayal of the Passion of Christ on the streets which was formerly called "Officio". Many problems have been allegedly solved and illnesses cured through the cross as many people continuously believed.

Over the years the followers of the cross have multiplied rapidly. To give deeper meaning to their devotion and showcase their religiosity, they broached the idea of staging the Pasyon. The first stage play was held a few years later, although initially it was limited in scope. It became so popular that the presentation was expanded to include stories from the Old Testament and other stages in the life of Christ and has become known as the Cenakulo. The venue was transferred to an open field in 1966 to accommodate a larger audience.

Krus Sa Nayon, Inc. (KSNI) was established as early as 1900 during and after Spanish era. The group was also known for its extravagant preparation and passion play every night of the Holy Week period. The KSNI cenakulo play was previously held at the Jaika Compound beside the municipal building and Francisco P. Felix Memorial National High School. To date, the play is held at the stage beside the municipal ground, alongside the One Cainta Police Headquarters and One Cainta Fire Department.

Samahang Nazareno Inc. was organized in 1960, developed and enhanced the various aspects of cenakulo. The local Roman Catholic parishioner gave the association its moral and financial support for it believed that it was an effective means of imparting its Christian message to the public.

Cainta Day
Every December 1, the town celebrates its foundation and feast of Our Lady of Light (Ina ng Kaliwanagan). It is celebrated with its own festival, SumBingTik (portmanteau of suman, bibingka, and latik), which started around 2014. The week long celebration consists of various activities such as paint ball tournament, battle of the bands, Miss Cainta beauty pageant, and Caindakan sa Kalsada, a street dance parade joined by local schools and organizations.

Transportation
The main road of Cainta is Ortigas Avenue Extension (R-5 Road), a heavily congested corridor that passes through the business district of Ortigas Center and leads to Mandaluyong and San Juan in the west and the town of Taytay and Antipolo in the east. The other major road is Felix Avenue (future service road segment of C-6 northbound expansion) which runs across Ortigas Avenue Extension and connects the town to Marikina to the north. Passing through Cainta Junction, it becomes A. Bonifacio Avenue, a part of Manila East Road (R-5), which also connects the town further into Taytay.

Public transportation is abundant, as jeepneys and UV Express from surrounding cities in the west like Pasig, Mandaluyong, and Quezon City, pass through the town going to other Rizal towns such as Antipolo, Taytay, to as far as Tanay.

Buses are also traversing almost the same routes as jeepneys, with a premium point-to-point bus service introduced in 2019, linking Cainta (Sierra Valley) to Makati CBD (Greenbelt - Ayala).

The extended Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) includes a train station at the northern tip of the town called Marikina—Pasig Station is set to open in the last quarter of 2020. This is located beside Santa Lucia East Grand Mall and connects to the second floor of Robinsons Metro East in Barangay San Isidro. Marikina—Pasig station opened on July 5, 2021, along Marcos Highway also known as Marikina - Infanta Highway (R-6 Road).

The newly approved Metro Rail Transit Line 4 (MRT-4) is also expected to begin construction by the second quarter of 2024, soil testing has been done along the Ortigas Avenue extension during the second quarter of 2023. Cainta will have three stations and are St. Joseph located in front of St. Joseph Subdivision, Cainta Junction located right on the Junction area, and San Juan Station situated in Barangay San Juan near Valley Golf and Country Club and Sierra Valley Gardens.

Utilities

 * Water: The town is supplied 24 hours a day with potable water from Manila Water, the MWSS concessionaire for the East Zone, along with several towns in Rizal Province.

 * Telecommunications: Globe and PLDT, primarily provide landline and mobile voice, SMS and data services throughout the town. Others provide alternative data solutions like Converge and Sky Broadband.

Hi.

I added an entry under the word "popscene" regarding a major Britpop club of the Nineties. I've been researching the topic for an upcoming book and noticed wiki didn't have anything on the subject.

Jusy wondered why it was deleted?

Regards, Jason Klinston

Hello,

I noticed that you joined Wikipedia about a month ago. Welcome! I've seen your work on Blur / British culture articles and found it to be very good. Please keep it up!

Sincerely,

Acegikmo1 01:40, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I'm still finding my feet here. It's nice to be recocnised.--Moochocoogle 00:39, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Edit summary
Hello. Please provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy edits. Hyacinth 07:40, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome!
Thanks, I'm still kinda new to the site. There's a lot of music stuff I'll end up working on when I have the time.

Cheers,

--Madchester 04:33, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Electric Six
Did you see Electric Six at the Solus on Thursday? I ask 'cause I note your edits both at their article and the Radio Ga Ga one; of course, if you're more of a Queen fan maybe you wouldn't have gone...
 * No, I didn't go to see Electric Six (I'm not really a fan) but my odd housemates did (one of them was wearing a wetsuit - no, really, he was). --Moochocoogle 02:24, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

David Bowie albums
Album titles in italics? Why? And why you've edited only two albums? There are twenty more to do

Avel791 19:10, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Album titles always go in italics (see WikiProject Albums). As for why only two: I'm afraid I don't have infinate wiki-time and can't do everything in one go. --Moochocoogle 22:26, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Blur - copyvio
Hello, I notice you've done a lot of work on Blur. I just noticed that large swathes of the article are directly plagiarized from the Allmusic.com article on Blur. This seems to have been done by User:Painbearer, although I'm not completely certain. Thought I should let you know, since you've done a lot of work on the page. john k 02:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Uh, Painbearer. I would expect he is the culprit as I have found copyvios from him before. The article is quite big and changing it is going to be a big task. Thanks for the info - I'll see what I can do. --Moochocoogle 13:54, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Beatles Singles
Hi Moochocoogle. Recently you have been removing Beatles singles from the category "The Beatles Songs" and placing them in the category "The Beatles Singles." I think it's a great idea to categorize their singles so they're easy to access together, but perhaps it would be best to also leave them in categorized as Beatles songs. After all, a Beatles single is a Beatles song. Okay, that's all. Thanks!
 * Yes, but you could put any article in its category's parent category. The categories are a tree and i think it's fairly clear that X artist's singles would be in the sucategory labelled X singles inside X songs. --Moochocoogle 29 June 2005 18:19 (UTC)

Ace of Spades
I can see your reason for merging and re-directing the 88 version of AoS to the earlier version. I've reverted the edits as they both have their own places in the discography and timeline, it is not just a re-issue case. Alf 15:14, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * You might have noticed that cover versions of a song don't even get their own articles, individual releases of a song by the same artist really don't deserve their own articles. The live singles articles contained little information. I'm listing your live articles on VfD to solve this dispute. --Moochocoogle 22:12, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Tell truth, your redirects were poor, you removed lyrics, pictures and formats. VfD as a reply is a bit knee-jerkey. Alf 11:37, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * My apologies, you did merge, you didn't state why anywhere, the merges, as they were, were just too confusing (IMHO), had you pointed me to the ongoing discussion you are involved in, I might have not reverted so quick, however I hope the current weight of opinions on their VfDs makes you aware I am not in the minority in viewing these particular things as individual articles, whatever rules are agreed on. Alf 23:54, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, communication is not one of my strong points. I did say what i was doing in the edit summary but i probably should have commented on the discussion page. I still believe that one article is best in this case and will continue to argue for it. Maybe we should have this debate in full on the WikiProject Songs talk page. --Moochocoogle 11:59, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

A question about templates
I saw that the article of The Beatles, Blur, and others have a template with some pics (Beatles only) and information about the band members, managers, producers, etc. very useful indeed. This box is also used in every release they had. So, I wonder whether it would be possible to do the same thing with other less popular bands. If that’s the case, I would be really grateful if you could point me to the right direction so that I could learn how to create this box for other bands. I have no idea how to copy the format. Regards, Luis María Benítez 12:49, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well I didn't create the Blur one from scratch. I think I made it by editing the REM one. Just go to a template article (e.g. Template:Blur), copy the code to your template (Template: ) and edit it for your needs. Good luck. --Moochocoogle 13:34, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Songs
Hi. I've created a new infobox, Template:Single infobox2, and have started a discussion about it at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Songs. I was wondering if you could comment on it, as you seem to contribute to that WikiProject a lot. Also, another user has expressed some concerns over this edit you made recently to the guidelines of the WikiProject, and has started a discussion here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Songs. Extraordinary Machine 22:49, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Song categories (Tony Bennett, Billie Holiday, etc)
Thanks for clearing up the sort order, I'd forgotten to do that. Cdyson37 | (Talk) 14:35, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem. I quite like organising categories. :P --Moochocoogle 14:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I got a small question, what's Category:Þeyr songs supposed to be about? -- ( ☺ drini ♫ | ☎ ) 01:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No idea what Þeyr is - there's no article for the artist/band. But Category:Þeyr singles was already there and to fit with the conventions of the songs project I created a parent category. --Moochocoogle 16:14, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Picture Gallery
Thanks for creating the picture gallery for the covers I uploaded. I couldn't think of what to do with all those variations but put them into the infobox. Fantailfan 01:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No probs - it is nice to include all the different covers. Keep up the good work. --Moochocoogle 01:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

sockpuppets
Hi Moochocoogle, has anyone ever accused you of being a sockpuppet before, particularly of Wonderfool? I've noticed that we have quite an overlap of material we're writing about, and are both from similar places. --Thewayforward 10:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, I've never been accused of being a sockpuppet. --Moochocoogle 17:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

sorry you missed the debate
I left the debate out in several places for over a month before putting it up on CfD, hoping to catch everyone's opinions before we proceeded one way or the other. I should've expected that someone wouldn't see it, but I never imagined it would be the Singles by artist structure's creator. Anyway, as you can see, a lot of people found the split confusing and difficult to maintain, and I expect that would be true for ALL schemes that broke up Songs by artist. So I can't say I support the split you propose either. But by all means bring it up on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs and see what people say.--Mike Selinker 01:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Cover Songs
You recently left a comment regarding the poor state of the List of cover songs by artist page. I agree that it is in shambles and I aim to do something about it. I am, however, at a loss as to how exactly to organize it and if I should possibly consider a name revision. Thoughts?

I left similar comments on its discussion page as well but was unsure if you'd see them. I am in need of assistance here and since you've edited mostly music (as have I) I figured you'd be able to help.

License tagging for Image:Parallel Universe.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Parallel Universe.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 21:12, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops. Done now. --Moochocoogle 21:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Moochocoogle. This is just to let you know that the image you uploaded, Image:Rings Around the World cover.jpg is now orphaned (ie not used in any articles) and because it is a fair use image which has been replaced by Image:SFA-Rings Around the World.png, it will be deleted in seven days. zzuuzz (talk) 04:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Blur_Beetlebum_CD1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Blur_Beetlebum_CD1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  02:50, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:TenderCD2.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:TenderCD2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Speedy deletion of Threatmantics
A tag has been placed on Threatmantics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Proposed deletion of File:5 Doctors DVD original cvr.png

The file File:5 Doctors DVD original cvr.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "Non-free DVD cover art used in a decorative manner in The Five Doctors. Non-free cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about the work in question, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular DVD cover anywhere in the article, so there's no justification provided for its non-free use."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Doctor Who Survival DVD.png
Thank you for uploading File:Doctor Who Survival DVD.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:33, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
