Philippine open data

Source	What is there	Notes
PSA OpenSTAT	Official statistics: population, prices, labor, agriculture, trade	Best structured source for PH data; CSV/Excel exports per table
data.gov.ph	Government open data portal across agencies	Quality varies by agency; check the resource's last-updated date
PSA main site	Census results, press releases, publications	Some datasets only exist as publication attachments here
PAGASA	Weather, climate normals, tropical cyclone data	Climate data often requires a written request; start early
BSP Statistics	Exchange rates, inflation, banking, remittances	Long consistent time series, good for trend projects
Freedom of Information portal	Request data no portal publishes	Response takes weeks; a fallback, not a primary plan
HDX Philippines	Humanitarian data: disasters, population, admin boundaries	Clean geodata (admin boundaries) lives here
World Bank: Philippines	Development indicators, decades of history	Easiest API of the bunch if you want to practice ingestion
