Filipino here. I used to live somewhat near that place, and we used to joke about going to Germany or Australia when what we really mean is going to one of those streets instead of the actual country. These are suburbs where the real estate developer would follow a certain theme for the nomenclature of the streets. We call these suburbs "villages". In my parent's village, the theme are bird names, and our street is called Sand Piper Drive.

I think that's common with real estate developments everywhere. There's a neighborhood in San Antonio, Texas where all the streets are named after locations in Estonia:

Pretty typical. I've seen developments where all of the streets were named after tennis players or golfers.
