The Philippines is divided into 17 regions, 81 provinces, 145 cities, 1,489 municipalities, and over 42,000 barangays. When creating applications that require addresses or locations, it is often a challenge to find a convenient listing of these various administrative divisions.
The various tables provided here in CSV format were extracted from the Barangay Masterlist of the Department of Interior and Local Government updated as of June 30, 2022. These have been divided into separate tables to enable easier lookup and classification when developing an application that will utilize these listings.
Possible uses include:
- Contact or submission forms with dropdowns for Baranggay, City, and Province
- Geocoding software
- Address lookup table
- GIS software
- Population statistics
- Etc…

| Ilocos Norte | 012800000 | Province |
| Adams | 012801000 | Municipality |
