Hello! I would like to request for information regarding:

1.) The current total number of buildings (completed) in the Philippines segregated to each city. Can you please provide whether these buildings are low-rise (1-3 floors), mid-rise (4-15 floors), high-rise (16-60 floors) and skyscrapers (60+ floors).

If there is no available data, can I have at least a percentage of buildings that surpasses 3 floors in relation to the approximated number of buildings in the Philippines.

Thank you!
