Barangay
A barangay is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines and is the native Filipino term for a village, district or ward. In colloquial usage, the term often refers to an inner city neighbourhood, a suburb or a suburban neighborhood. The word barangay originated from balangay, a kind of boat used by a group of Austronesian peoples when they migrated to the Philippines. Municipalities and cities are composed of barangays, and they may be further subdivided into smaller areas called purok, and sitio, which is a territorial enclave inside a barangay, especially in rural areas. As of September 30, 2012 there are a total of 42,028 barangays throughout the Philippines.
