The updated online PSGC database and masterlist can be accessed at  https://psa.gov.ph/classification/psgc/.

The compilation and updating of PSGC is a collaborative effort of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and its interagency Technical Working Group on Geographic Code (TWGGC) composed of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Commission on Elections (COMELEC), National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA), and the Land Management Bureau (LMB). Pursuant to Republic Act No. 10625, the PSA is mandated to prescribe uniform standards and classification systems in the generation of government statistics to ensure harmonization and comparability of statistics in the country and at the international level.
