Philippine Places API

There is a need to have a Web API for the places in the Philippines which include the names of Barangays, Municipalities, Cities and Provinces. There are so many enthusiastic Filipino Web Developers out there that really need an API for it. So, my solution is the PSGC Web API: A Philippine Standard Geographic Code Software Platform.

The PSGC Web API is my post-graduate special problem. I hope that there are also some people out there who think that this project is very important. As of now, I'm still on research and documentation stage of it. I'll post again on this blog regarding the updates.

By the way, if you are interested with the project, you might want to read the Background of the PSGC and how the standard geographic code was structured. Then to make the API available for public use, I'm going to use JSON and probably XML as well to make something like this.

I hope I can finish my project as soon as possible.
