A few years ago, I came across this #Esquire #Philippines article about #Mars craters named after Philippine towns:
https://www.esquiremag.ph/long-reads/features/mars-craters-named-after-philippine-towns-a00289-20210223
I wondered if these craters are in #Wikidata and have the correct P138 (named after) property set so after writing the following #SPARQL query, I found out that all six craters are already in Wikidata as expected, but only two had their etymology indicated. Naturally, I completed them!
