I am developing a map application using HERE Maps and wondering if what is the equivalent of the fields 'city', 'county' and 'state' for the addresses in the Philippines?

Currently, I have mapped these fields as follows:

city   == municipality
county == province
state  == region
0

Perhaps this wiki page can help make things a little clearer: Administrative divisions of the Philippines.

The page mentions the three terms you used plus an additional one for villages (quote copied from the wiki page provided):

The Philippines has four main classes of elected administrative divisions, often lumped together as local government units (LGUs). They are, from the highest to the lowest division:

  1. Autonomous regions
  2. Provinces (lalawigan, probinsiya) and independent cities (lungsod, siyudad/ciudad, dakbayan, lakanbalen)
  3. Municipalities (bayan, balen, bungto, banwa) and component cities (lungsod, siyudad/ciudad, dakbayan, dakbanwa, lakanbalen)
  4. Barangays (also known as barrio)
