What is it you are trying to accomplish? 68C, when searching for example, gives you a dropdown list of cities to choose from. The cities populated in the dropdown correspond to the cities entered by your registered users. This is so that they are not trying to do searches for stuff in cities when its known that there are no ads there.

Thanks for the reply, what im trying to do is im going to implement site more focus on auctions, buy and sells, job hiring and advertising located in Philippines, what i have seen now is country and cities built-in in 68C does not fit the requirements in looking. What i need are the Data for Regions and Cities.

And do what with it? Create categories? I understand what you are saying you want to build but I have now idea how you want to implement this city database. What kind of user experience are you looking to achieve?

Okay lets me it simple i want to capture the user exact location like Region, Cities and Town. My point here now is to capture sell, auction and advertisement item per location per user, most important in the Region.

Maybe I am not reading correctly but why not use the extra fields system and create these three fields?
