About this dataset
Postal Codes Dataset for Philippines (PH)
This dataset contains Philippine ZIP codes — 2,317 rows covering 2,190 distinct postal codes across 87 provinces and districts in all 17 administrative regions.
Granularity note: ZIP is not one-to-one with place. Metro Manila codes in particular
are shared across several named barangays and post-office stations, so one code
legitimately appears on many rows. The primary key is (postal_code, place_name),
never postal_code alone.
Institutional codes: 280 rows carry no region, province or city. The Philippines
assigns ZIP codes to large institutional mailers and PO Box holders as well as to places;
on those rows place_name is an organisation and the source supplies no administrative
assignment. Those cells are blank rather than guessed. Filter on a populated
admin_name1 if you need geographic rows only.
Coordinate accuracy: 644 rows have accuracy 1, meaning the point was interpolated
by the source from neighbouring postal codes rather than matched to a gazetteer entry,
and can fall outside the province the row names. Check accuracy before relying on a
coordinate.
Note: This dataset is a sample containing the first 100 rows. If you need access to the complete dataset, please contact our sales team for more information: datahub@datopian.com
Data Sources
Postal codes, place names and coordinates are sourced from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), a
community-maintained open geographic database. admin_code1 is the official
ISO 3166-2:PH region code with the PH- prefix stripped, applied consistently to all 17
regions including the National Capital Region (00). Note there is no region 04 — the
old Region IV was split into 40 (CALABARZON) and 41 (MIMAROPA) — and 14 is BARMM
while 15 is the Cordillera Administrative Region, not the reverse.
Usage
The dataset files are available in CSV format and can be accessed and downloaded using the links provided in the datapackage.yml.
postal_code and admin_code1 carry significant leading zeros and must be read as text
(dtype=str), or use the schema in the packaged datapackage.json.
