ABOUT PHCIVIC

Public information shouldn't be this hard to find.

PHCivic started from a simple frustration I encountered: looking up emergency hotline numbers for cities within the Bicol Region, or even trying to find a correct and updated list of officials for my city. For which the answers are scattered across outdated government websites, Wikipedia, dead links, old Facebook posts, and online documents not publicly available.

PHCivic is a small, independently built directory of civic information for Philippine cities, starting with Tabaco City. Every hotline, official, and data on this site is and will always be tied to a source, independently verified and anyone can report it.

This is not a government project, and is not affiliated with any LGU.

How it works

Every data is sourced

Every information gathered from city figures, official directories, and hotline numbers have links ro where it came from.

Crowdsourcing information

As our coverage grows, we invite the community to add missing information, fix errors, and report outdated information.

Building a comprehensive directory

We are always working on expanding our coverage and adding new cities and barangays. Other possible data and information for cities and barangays can be added in the future.
