A
city (
lungsod, sometimes
syudad, in
Filipino) is a local government unit in the
Philippines. Cities are equivalent to
municipalities but are given special treatment and an increased budget. Cities, like municipalities, are composed of
barangays and is governed by a Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and councilors.
A number of cities in the country act independently of their provinces and are largely self-governing and have their own representatives in the Congress[?]. Other cities depend on their provincial government for support and representation.
Quezon City[?], in Metro Manila is the most populous city with over 2,000,000 residents. Davao City[?] in Davao del Sur[?], is one of the largest cities in the world in terms of land area, occupying more than 2,500 square kilometers.
As of May 2003, there are 116 cities in the Philippines.
