phscs
Philippine Statistical Classification Systems
A unified interface to access and manipulate various Philippine statistical classifications. It allows users to retrieve, filter, and harmonize classification data, making it easier to work with Philippine statistical data in R.
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.

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")
