Looking at the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place

Maybe place=hamlet (for rural puroks?) or place=suburb (for urban puroks?)?
Then additionally tag with place:ph=purok|sitio.

This is just a suggestion and don't draw the boundaries just yet.

As for gated communities, I usually just draw a landuse=residential around
the subdivision. For example, see Tierra Nueva Village in Alabang:
