The phscs Package

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

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

# Occupational classification (default: unit groups)
get_psoc() |> head(3)
#>   value                                    label
#> 1  1111                              Legislators
#> 2  1112              Senior government officials
#> 3  1113 Traditional chiefs and heads of villages

All classification functions share the same interface:

# Choose a level of detail
get_psic(level = "sections")
get_psoc(level = "major")
get_pcoicop(level = "divisions")

# Include the full text description
get_psic(level = "sections", cols = "description")

# Switch to an older edition (where available)
get_pcoicop(version = "2009")
