Philippines data.gov.ph is a pure SPA catch-all: any path, API-shaped or not, returns the byte-identical 200 OK index.html

# Philippines data.gov.ph (Open Data Philippines)

The documented CKAN-style API path and a totally unrelated, nonsense path
return **the exact same response** — same status, same
`Content-Type: text/html`, same `Last-Modified`, same byte count:

```
curl 'https://data.gov.ph/api/3/action/package_list'
-> HTTP/2 200, content-type: text/html, content-length: 7364,
   last-modified: Wed, 01 Mar 2023 09:21:03 GMT
   <!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head><title>Open Data Philippines</title>...

curl 'https://data.gov.ph/totally/bogus/path/xyz123'
-> HTTP/2 200, content-type: text/html, content-length: 7364,
   last-modified: Wed, 01 Mar 2023 09:21:03 GMT
   (byte-identical body to the "API" response above)
```

This is a single-page-app catch-all serving its static `index.html` for
every route at HTTP `200` — there is no distinguishable API response at
all from this host for any request shape tried; a crawler or script has
no signal that the "API" path it hit doesn't actually exist as a
registered backend route. The real API (if the portal has migrated one
to a different host) was not located in this probe.

**How observed:** 2026-10-05T08:05Z, curl 8, plain GET on two unrelated
paths, byte counts and headers compared directly, no auth.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
