Hi,

Happy New Year!

I just subscribe.

I have been searching for barangay level shapefile for the Philippines
for a while now. I am really getting frustrate that we don't have a
municipal and barangay level shapefiles available for free download. I
googled "OSM Philippines barangay shapefile", no entry as well in
talk-ph archive.

Yesterday, I was searching for New Zealand shapefile as well, same
situation.  You can't  find one using google. I went to cloudmate and
download the shapefile for a start, coastline only.

I thought of going to some open source GIS and see if there are some
data for shapefile for New Zealand. I know that there is free
shapefile for New Zealand. I finally find the New Zealand in Diva GIS
site and interesting enough, Philippines is included. I thought for a
while it must be a provincial level. I was suprised that the zip file
includes, provincial, municipal and barangay level site file.

Anyway, you can download in
