Getting Started with phscs

The phscs package provides a single, consistent interface to seven Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA) classification systems. All data is bundled with the package — no internet connection or API token is required.

Function Classification Source
get_psgc() Philippine Standard Geographic Code PSA via psgc
get_psic() Philippine Standard Industrial Classification PSA
get_psoc() Philippine Standard Occupational Classification PSA
get_psced() Philippine Standard Classification of Education PSA
get_pcoicop() Phil. Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose PSA
get_pcpc() Philippine Central Product Classification PSA
get_psccs() Philippine Standard Commodity Classification System PSA

Installation

Install from CRAN:

install.packages("phscs")

Or install the development version from GitHub:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("yng-me/phscs")

Common interface

All classification functions share the same parameters:

Parameter Default Description
version latest Which edition of the standard to use (e.g. "2019", "2009")
level most detailed Which level of the hierarchy to return
minimal TRUE Return only value and label; set FALSE for all columns
cols NULL Extra columns to include alongside value and label (e.g. "description")

Every classification has a description column available via cols = "description":

get_psic(level = "sections", cols = "description") |>
  head(5) |>
  gt::gt() |>
  gt::tab_options(table.align = "left")
value label description
A Agriculture, forestry and fishing NA
B Mining and quarrying NA
C Manufacturing NA
D Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply NA
E Water supply; sewerage, waste management NA

Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC)

get_psgc() is re-exported from the psgc package. For a full walkthrough — releases, crosswalks, population data — see vignette("psgc", package = "psgc").

Use geographic_level to filter to a specific tier:

psgc_regions <- get_psgc(geographic_level = "region")

psgc_regions |>

  gt::tab_options(table.align = "left")

Use shorten_region_name() to compact long region labels for plots or tables:

psgc_regions |>
  shorten_region_name(which = "label") |>
  head(5) |>
  gt::gt() |>
  gt::tab_options(table.align = "left")
psgc_code area_name correspondence_code geographic_level old_name city_class income_classification urban_rural island_region

0400000000 CALABARZON 040000000 Reg NA NA NA NA L
0500000000 Bicol Region 050000000 Reg NA NA NA NA L

To filter rows by code, use standard R subsetting after the call:

# All areas whose PSGC code starts with "10" (Region X)
psgc_all <- get_psgc()
psgc_region_10 <- psgc_all[grepl("^10", psgc_all$psgc_code), ]

Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC)

The PSIC organises economic activities into sections, divisions, groups, classes, and sub-classes. The default returns the most detailed level.
