I would like to request the latest borders of Barangays in the Philippines so we can construct correct map instead of the data provided by Google Maps since Google Map Data on the Barangays is oftentimes outdated. This is necessary for the development of location enabled applications that may be used here in the Philippines. The GIS Data should hopefully be in a convertible or shareable format like: 1. Shapefile 2. GeoJSON 3. KML PhilGIS.org provides an old version of this but this has not been updated for 7 years. http://philgis.org/country-barangay/
