Hello, there seems to be an error in accessing barangay shapefiles from https://data.humdata.org/dataset/philippines-admin4-boundaries-barangay is there an alternative way to obtain barangay shapefiles? Thank you

^from what i've heard apparently it was removed because barangay captains are arguing with their boundaries smh

@nicoleardil aside from worldclim.org you can also request from PAGASA for data through their synoptic weather stations scattered throughout PH.

Hello.
Does anyone possess data that shows the age of individual buildings in the Philippines?
Or does anyone have access to the following URL

https://www.foi.gov.ph/requests/building-year-built-and-construction-type-psa-982146793982/

I don't think it is currently accessible, but if anyone has downloaded the data before, please share.
