List of cities in the Philippines

April 13, 2023

This is a list of chartered cities in the Philippines. Philippine cities are classified into three groups: highly urbanized cities (HUC), independent component cities (ICC), and component cities (CC).

Classes

Highly urbanized cities are local government units autonomous from provinces that have a minimum population of 200,000 and an annual income of at least ₱ 50 million (in 1991 constant prices). Independent Component Cities are cities outside of provincial jurisdiction (although some are allowed to participate in the election of provincial officials) that have not yet attained the 'highly urbanized' status, while Component Cities are those under a province's jurisdiction.[1] In addition, each city is classified into six income brackets according to income in a four-year period. For instance, First-class cities have an income of ₱ 400 million or more, while Sixth-class cities earn less than ₱ 80 million in a four-year period.

Each city is governed by both the Local Government Code of 1991[2] and the city's own municipal charter, under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.

Table notes

  1. ^ Land area figures are taken from the Philippine Statistics Authority.
  2. ^ Highly urbanized cities (HUC) and independent component cities (ICC) are legally independent from any province, although they are often grouped with the province they belonged to prior to their cityhood. The province indicated for such cities, as grouped by the Philippine Statistics Authority, is in italics.
  3. ^ Some of these city charters have been replaced, revised, or amended since. The link to the text of the original city charter is given if available online.
  4. ^ Most city charters were approved after being signed by the president. However, some were approved only after they lapsed into law, i.e. becoming law without the president's signature, which is possible if 30 days after being sent to the president's office for approval the act has remained unsigned.
  5. ^ Before 1987, most municipalities gained cityhood immediately after the enactment or approval of their city charters. Only few pre-1987 city charters had a set date of effectivity (such as Tagbilaran's and Dipolog's) or required a plebiscite for the city to acquire corporate existence (such as Caloocan's or Laoag's). However, since 1987 city charters require ratification through a plebiscite, with a majority of votes cast by city residents affirming the charter. If not enough information is available, a charter's date of approval is assumed to be its date of effectivity, and the date is in italics.
  6. ^ Population figure for Angeles includes residents of disputed areas between its boundary with Mabalacat.
  7. ^ a b c Prior to receiving their charters, Quezon City, Caloocan and Pasay were part of the province of Rizal, and remained only nominally so until the organization of Metro Manila in 1975.
  8. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k Prior to the organization of the Metropolitan Manila Area in 1975, the then-municipalities of Mandaluyong, Pasig, Malabon, Makati, Muntinlupa, Las Piñas, Parañaque, Taguig, Navotas and San Juan were part of the province of Rizal.
  9. ^ Population figure for Mabalacat excludes residents of disputed areas between its boundary with Angeles City.
  10. ^ a b Land area and population figures for Makati exclude Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside, which are still administered by Makati, but ruled in court to be part of Taguig in 2003.
  11. ^ Population figure for Pasig excludes residents in areas disputed between this city and the municipality of Cainta, Rizal.
  12. ^ a b Land area and population figures for Taguig include Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside, which are still administered by Makati, but ruled in court to be part of Taguig in 2003.
  13. ^ Prior to the organization of the Metropolitan Manila Area in 1975, the then-municipality of Valenzuela was a part of the province of Bulacan.
Dates of inauguration/organization

Many pre-1987 cities had set dates of inauguration (where the president or a high-ranking government official participates in ceremonies marking the attainment of cityhood) or had set dates of organization (where the newly converted city officially starts to fully function as expected). These dates may be set by the president, city officials or Congress.
