I'm not just sure, but I was thinking the same after reading earlier :
http://www.answers.com/topic/hamlet
Hamlet seems to be the nearest equivalent of a sitio.

Maybe by adopting this tag for use on purok/sitio, we can have our own local
definition of hamlet for osm-ph use, like in other countries' local
definitions. Anyway, it's there in JOSM's preset tags, so maybe we don't
have a choice after all (for using this sub-zone sub-village tag). Let's see
how it goes.

I just don't know if these will clutter the map by tagging every purok we
can positively identify in the rural and urban areas. Unlike in some parts
of the globe, they are usually located far apart.

Urban puroks are only a couple of blocks away from each other (although
there is less need for tagging these (urban puroks) because streetnames are
already available for searching, without the need to know the purok names,
unlike in the province).
