Philippines Address Format
Philippine addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, house number + street, then the barangay (the smallest administrative unit, similar to a district or village) on its own line. The city/municipality, province (or 'Metro Manila' for NCR cities) and 4-digit ZIP code share the last address line, and the ZIP code may also be written alone on a separate line.
