Proposal
A tag is needed to indicate the type of place that is specific to the Philippines, like municipality, poblacion, district, barangay, sitio, purok, and subdivision.
Rationale
Certain place types are specific to the Philippines. For example, district means a large portion of a city, composed of small barangays, which equals to neighbourhoods.
Also, the tag will be useful to determine poblacions, barangays, sitios, puroks, and municipalities (for town nodes only. For administrative boundary relations of the municipalities, they must include the ordinary place=municipality tag on the relation, but, mapping conventions in the Philippines discourage adding place tags on boundary relations.). It can be possibly used on housing developments (subdivisions) along with the place=* and landuse=residential
