Taginfo to the rescue!
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/place%3Aph#values

Based on Taginfo, 95% of the values of the place:ph=* tag is "barangay"
with a total of number of 1,300. This is actually quite low. There are
almost 42,000 barangays in the Philippines.

The other values are purok and sitio (which are unofficial subunits of a
barangay) and a few other values that I think are wrong uses of the tag.
