Details

No available data from the Environment Management Bureau has a section for managing air quality: http://www.emb.gov.ph/portal/Portals/23/PDF%20Files/DenrAirQualityStatReport10-11.pdf In Philippines there is a Clean Air Act (from 1999). As part of the implementation of this legislation air monitoring stations are being implemented. Regularly National Air Quality Reports are generated.

No microdata or real time data is available on the website.
