# Philippines

Company data from the Philippines business register, through the Topograph API.

> **Beta**: this country is in early development. We are still expanding and refining its coverage. Some datapoints or documents may be missing, the integration may be unstable, prices may change without notice, and it is not covered by SLAs.

## Overview

Topograph reads Cooperative Development Authority and returns the company profile of Philippines companies through one API.

Philippines coverage currently serves **cooperatives only**, from the CDA List of Cooperatives dated **31 December 2024**. Search by name or CDA registration number, then request `company` in `prefill` mode. SEC corporations and partnerships and DTI sole-proprietor business names are not covered. The information is historical and does not establish current legal status.

## Coverage

## Sources

The registers this country’s data comes from. Secondary sources only enrich or check what the registers return.

- **[Cooperative Development Authority](https://cda.gov.ph/cooperative-masterlist/)**: The Philippine authority responsible for registering cooperatives. This coverage uses its List of Cooperatives dated 31 December 2024, containing 20,962 entries. Corporations and partnerships registered with the SEC and sole-proprietor business names registered with DTI are outside this publication.

## Identifiers

Request a company by its CDA registration number as the `id`, with `countryCode` set to `PH`. Its format, validation rules and an example value are in the full reference.
