Good day!

I am a IV-BS Economics student from the University of the Philippines-Diliman. I was wondering if you could provide me with the raw data showing the suicide cases distribution in the country, preferably on a municipal level.

Rest assured that should you grant me the said data, it will only be used for research purposes only for our human geographic research class. The data entries that I need are the following:

1. Age
2. Year
3. Municipality/Region
4. Top 10 municipalities with highest suicide cases.

Thank you!
