Philippine Statistics Authority(PSA)

Good day,

I am trying to develop some maps related to Mindanao, particularly BARMM but not exclusively and I am finding difficulties with the shapefiles I'm ifnding. OCHA has updated NAMRIA shapefiles up to admin level 3 (municipality) posted in HDX, but not including barangays. On the other hand, I managed to get a barangay shapefile but I'm finding discrepancies with one another.
Is there an official source of barangay GIS resources that I can use?

Many thanks for your time and support.
