misspelled

i saw a fairly new street sign that says Camarino on a road i've known as Camerino for as far back as i can remember.

my immediate reaction was that the street sign is wrong.
right after that, it was:  could what i (and the residents of the area) have known for decades be the one that was incorrect?

i googled.

given the other street names in the vicinity, i think the most probable Camerino was Casimiro Camerino. he led a revolt in Cavite in the 1860s against the land-grabbing of friars. the revolt is known in philippine history as the Camerino Revolt.

the street sign is installed very near the barangay office.  right under the nose of those who are supposed to keep order in the area.

better correct it, guys.
