The phscs Package

The goal of phscs is to provide a unified interface to access and manipulate various Philippine statistical classifications, such as the Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC), Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC), Philippine Standard Occupational Classification (PSOC), and others.

It allows users to retrieve, filter, and harmonize classification data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)’s open-access data and other sources, making it easier to work with Philippine statistical data in R.
