菲律宾

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset is provided in English, which is the official language for government and business administration in the Philippines. All place names (e.g., "Abra", "Bangued") are listed in standard Roman characters.

Q: How is the 'region' column formatted?

The dataset uses a Composite Format for the region column, combining the official acronym with the full name (e.g., "CAR (Cordillera Administrative Region)").
Technical Note: If your system strictly requires just the acronym (e.g., "CAR") or just the full name, you may need to apply a text processing rule to split the string at the opening parenthesis.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows the standard Philippine administrative structure:
· Region: The top-level grouping (e.g., CAR, Region I).
· Province: The primary political subdivision (e.g., "Abra").
· Locality: The specific Municipality or City (e.g., "Bangued", "Bucay").
Postal codes are typically assigned at the Locality level.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

The Philippines uses a 4-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 2800, 2815). This is found in the zipcode column. Unlike some other countries, there are no separator characters or dashes.

Q: Does this dataset cover the entire country?

Yes. The dataset includes records for all major administrative regions, including the National Capital Region (NCR), CAR, and numbered regions (Region I - XIII), covering provinces and their respective municipalities/cities.
