// configure xlsx path first @ /build.js, then:
npm run build
const psgc2 = require('psgc2');
// {

Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC)
Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)

The Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC) is a systematic classification and coding of geographic areas in the Philippines. It is based on the four (4) well-established hierarchical levels of geographical-political subdivisions of the country, namely, the administrative region, the province, the municipality/city, and the barangay.
The PSGC is updated based on the official changes occuring in the administrative structure of the country through Republic Acts and local ordinances ratified through plebiscites conducted by the COMELEC.
Ongoing (updated quarterly)
